    i had to use the anti-fouling paint I bought with the kit since I couldn’t find that color in the store. What do you know! It wasn’t old and gummy! It stirred quickly and went on smoothly!

    I bought paint at Hobby Lobby and started painting components before assembly

    I just tried using one of the paint bottles I bought for a lot of money. It’s old and settled into heavy gum or sludge that I had to stir for quite a while. I never got the sludge to completely dissolve. Save your money if you buy from Them

    I masked the hull so I can paint the upper half. i pre-bent the main cabin after pre-painting it. next I will paint doors to match cabin

    I decided to selectively paint parts off the ship. First i have to prime all metal parts. I’ll start tomorrow
  21. HIPEXEC
    The kit instructions are difficult to follow. Timing of different events like attaching an item or painting it first will be decisions I have to make. It’s the old chess game all model makers run into

    i am also still final shaping the solid hull
  23. HIPEXEC
    I soaked the deck trmplate and snd now holding it in place to shape it. i shall glue it tomorrow
  24. HIPEXEC
    This is my first time building a hull from a near net shaped solid. It might have taken longer with plank on bulkhead or plank on frame but this solid wood type is difficult and tedius. It will be too easy the file and sand too much off. To get it to scale.

    Here’s my new ship yard. A back bedroom!

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.
