    Hey Glenn,

     

    Over my career, I served in a 637-class long-hull (USS Parche, SSN 683), a 637 short-hull (USS Hawkbill, SSN 666), built a 688 (USS Bremerton, SSN 698), and served as XO in the boomers USS Andrew Jackson (SSBN 619) and USS George Bancroft (SSBN 643). Didn't like the boomers...

    Hi Terry,

    what didn’t you like about the boomers?

    Kind regards 

    Glenn 😀

    New update, fixed hull gap problem. I decided to go with all 5 windows even if it's not historically accurate. Occre kit is not accurate by default so I will go with my own vision. Last two pictures are blurry because there wasn't enough light when taking pictures with my phone.

    Hi Blacky,

    I’m glad you fixed your hull problem, did you go with filler in the end or use a thin strake. I’m loving the colours your using; How many coats of white did you use in the end on the lower hull. This ship is lovely and this kit is going to be on my wish list. I definitely want to build the Occre version, as I like the larger scale. I’m looking forward to your next update. 
    Kind regards 

    Glenn 😀

    Hey Glenn. 

     

    Welcome aboard! Retired (US) submariner here.

     

    Looking forward to viewing your construction of your father's ship. Scratch would be definitely doable.

    Hi Terry,

    Thank you for the welcome. What class of submarine did you serve in?

    kind regards 

    Glenn

    Welcome to MSW, Glenn.  Chris gave good advice on where to start research.  It may take some time, but usually someone has some answers.   As always though... every answer leads to more questions, which is a good thing as it increases knowledge.

    Thank you for the welcome, I shall heed your advice. 😀

    kind regards

    Correction

    My name is Glenn, and I have just joined as a new member of this fantastic forum. I have modelling experience of kits, but not scratch building a ship. This is something I would love to do, but one step at a time. 
     

    My interest in the sea stems from my father, who was in the Royal Navy as a submariner. His boat was HMS Artful, hence my username. His post aboard the Artful was electrician first class, and when he was not fixing things of an electrical nature he was helping in the engine room.  
     

    I am currently researching my fathers service in the Royal Navy and the Artful, and would love to post the results of my research here on the forum, if I am allowed to do this of course.

     

    The first model I intend to build is a 1:144 scale of HMS Artful in the Astute class. I would dearly love to build an Amphion class submarine of the same name to honour my fathers service, but cannot find a kit of this type. Perhaps this might be my first scratch build?

    I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to you all, and most importantly say that I am here to learn as well as to build.
    Hello friends!

    kind regards 

    Glenn😀

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.
