    Now I'm both incensed and excited. I have been posting elsewhere herein about Ka'iimiloa, Kalakaua's naval vessel. Now I see the Journal is writing on the Hawai'ian Navy as well. Dare I say it, "great minds ..." I'll wait until my issue arrives.

    I ran across this discussion after just beginning my Occre Endeavour. I am getting ready to plank the deck. They still recommend "pore filling laquer" and I had no idea what that was. However, I just happen to have a couple cans of sanding sealer on hand. So, let me ask now, at what stage should I apply a finish coat to the deck? I presume it is when the sanding sealer is dry and sanded and before planking the hull and attaching the deck furniture, or should I wait until later in the build? Thank you all.

    I see someone already addressed my question about thread size. Thank you.

    I just got mine from Hobby Zone, no delay in Customs. But I have a couple of questions: Has anyone sealed the MDF? It can be a bit crumbly, especially if the screws are overtightened. I like the idea of reversing the nuts and replacing the bolts with wingnuts. But, does anyone know what thread pitch they are? I'm not excited about opening the hardware bag and walking through Home Depot and/or Ace Hardware with loose screws/nuts/bolts in my pocket. Anyway, thank you for this review and build out. Current Build: Heller HMS Victory 1:100 On Hold: Bounty Jollyboat, Aritsana Latina

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.
