    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 masked the hull so I can paint the upper half.
    i pre-bent the main cabin after pre-painting it.

    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.

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.
