    Thanks Keith! I’ve looked closely at yours, Shihawk and Knotty’s build. Quite incredible really. I’ve started the build and, despite pouring over the incredible work you guys have done, along with reading the instructions countless amount of times, I’ve still made mistakes. The instructions just don’t make sense in many ways, to me. When I work out how to post a build log, I’ll do it, as the mistakes I’ve made (then fixed) are ones that you experts never would. Hopefully I can help novices like me, not muck up like I did/am. Thanks again mate

    What have I done!? I’ve always wanted to build a good sized HMS Victory. Building Spitfires, Messerschmitts, F1 cars and the odd Navy warship (all plastic) obviously made me an expert! Silly boy. Anyway I bought the Billing boats 75:1. THEN I found this site and, read the comments. Okay it’s a daunting task but the instructions are so perfect :(( can anyone tell me how on earth I do the deck planks? I’m not even sure what wooden strips to use. Do I lay them one by one, cutting out the holes for the stairs etc? Or do I cut the holes, glue them to the false deck, then put that in place? Hope that makes sense. Any help at this stage would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, David K.

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.
