    Started working on decks, experienced with several different methods. Ended up cutting up hundreds of 80mm planks. Individually sprayed each planks with oil based polyurethane clear satin, both sides and edges. After drying used black sharpie marker on edges. Found that sealing the planks kept the ink from the marker from soaking into the planks .The gun deck was the last one and the best one, got better as I went on, learn as you go. Used contact cement to apply planks. Hope the main decks turnout even better. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Hello, I am a new member and thank you. Bare with me, never posted in a build log before so this will be a learn as you go process. This is the second time I have built this kit. The first kit , twenty years ago I did not finish after getting to rigging. This time should go much better, being a home owner with a dedicated build room , finacelly sound, better equipments and the internet. I have already noticed one draw back, my eyes are not what they use to be, ha ha. Here we go.

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.
