    Probably a "loaded" question but here goes: If you could only buy 2 books that you could use to build any ship model with, which 2 books would they be?

    Thank you all again for the assistance!

    The plans only show the layout but no specifications are indicated. I will break out my calipers and measure the widths of the respective masts and yards and go from there. For a beginner kit, it lacks alot of information but maybe that is just me.

    As for the mast holes?

    I acquired a second hand Model Shipways Dapper Tom kit as a starter prior to eventually building an HMS Euryalus. The kit is missing a few items, mainly all of the rigging. In searching the web for replacement I have ran into a small issue. The size/diameter of the line in the kit parts list does not evenly match up with what I can find on line. 1) Is it better to size up or down? For instance: Parts list: Tan Line .012"/.3mm but only .014"/.35mm or .010"/.2mmm is available. 2) If I have to go bigger, will I have to drill out the holes on the blocks? (I am guessing yes) 3) The building instructions suck when it comes to specific details (must be my military experience and adherence to exact tolerances). What are the diameters of the masts and corresponding holes I need to drill in the hull for the masts and at what angle do I drill them? Thanks for the help in advance ladies and gentlemen.

    I ordered Volume II the first of December and it came in a few days before Christmas. Just checked their site and it is down with a note about a pending sale of the company. Bummer. Maybe the new buyers will re-release the volumes cause I still need volume 1.

    May I ask where you obtained your plans that are shown in your photos?

    I just paged through your build and I have no appropriate words for the artistry, attention to detail and craftmanship you have put into this build. BRAVO!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
