    Thanks for the thoughts on finishes. I think I will look into Shellac for my next build.

    I am currently finishing my first model, HMS Beagle from Occre. I had some problems with the polyurethane that I used to finish it. I opened a new can of Minwax quick dying polyurethane in March and had really good results. By summer the poly from the same can wouldn't dry. I expected slower drying due to higher humidity, but no matter how long I waited is stayed tacky. I would appreciate any insights into why this happened. Also, I will be starting my next model in a couple months and I am wondering if I should be using a lacquer or shellac instead. I will be brushing it on, not spraying and would love to hear any thoughts on whether I should stick with poly or switch to something else. Thanks

    I am currently building my first model, HMS Beagle from Occre. Going pretty well. I have made a few mistakes including one big one on the main mast, but have learned a lot. I started about 10 months ago and am currently about half way through the rigging. I hope to be done after Christmas. I will be starting the Frigate Diana next and I am planning on creating a build log as I 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.
