    rtropp reacted to ianmajor in Quality of Corel kits?   
    Mike,
     
    I agree with Brian on the planking. The hull has two layers of planking. For the outer layer below the gun ports the kit supplies mahogany. You can make a reasonable job with this but it is coarse grain and prone to splitting. The other planking was fine particularly if you are not going to paint your model. 
     
    I found the Unicorn instructions OK - they are unintentionally amusing in places. There are plenty of good non scale diagrams to augment the 2 plan sheets and instructions. There are errors and contradictions - though these are easy to spot.
     
    The historical notes - best have a good laugh at these then throw them away they are total nonsense - Corel appear to be confusing 2 different Unicorn ships giving the model a bit of an identity crisis.

    Eric,
    Glad to hear all is working out.  I enjoy being your customer and look forward to a continued relationship.
    I had communicated with Tom (I think that is the same person) and he was very helpful.  Just a hint to anyone looking for replacement parts, be sure to use the part numbers from the parts list.

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.
