    Here is the full picture vs just the section I attached earlier.

    I don’t think so. For example not shown in picture is the same mast without the B, showing just an A. Then the A appears again with the symbol similar what the B has. Hope I haven’t confused you too much. Thanks Chuck

    Hi all, I have just completed my first build ever (Polaris) by OCCRE and now I am about to begin my second (HMS Endurance) by OCCRE. In looking over the instructions I found the attached symbol in building mast. Can anyone tell me what it means? Thank you in advance for your help. Chuck

    IIia,

    Your Polaris looks fantastic. I am just lining the hull on mine. It is my first build as well. I hope I come somewhere close to your build. Wish you all the best.  Chuck P.

    Hi Jack, All the snow and ice have gone. We are now like a little Miami except for Palm trees and perhaps 70+ weather. But we will take it. Chuck

    Still waiting for the kit to arrive but I will keep all informed on my progress. Wanted to thank everyone individually but that make for a long thread. Greatly appreciate all the positive responses. With all the very best! Chuck

    Hi all, I have been in pursuit of a hobby that I can embrace and have fun with. I came across model ship building and I hope I have found what I have been looking for. I have not done a model since a kid and they were horrible, I am now 68+. I know these are challenging and rewarding if you succeed through the low moments of a build. My skill set is probably close to zero but i am going to give it a go. I ordered the Polaris from OCCRE and waiting for it to arrive. I chose it because of the videos. I doubt I could succeed without them. So just wanted to say hi and also let you know this ChuckP should never be confused with another Chuck on this forum. I can’t even believe the level of his and others workmanship I am seeing and I truly admire all who have the talent to do these. My first build may look like a disaster, but so be it. I am hoping I have the perseverance to pick myself up and continue going. Time will tell. One last note when I say Central New York, I am not talking about near Manhattan. We are near lake Ontario in the middle of snow country. All the best to all of you. Chuck

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.
