    With Help identifying not only the ship but the kit Magazine aswell, I've managed to get copies of Magazine 1-34 with no parts unfortunately for £8 as I suspect most of that is hull my dad has done and can get issues if not. Also been able to source alot of issues 30-80 with parts from well known Auction site. So looks like the bismark will be my first model build but thinking/hoping instructions will be clear enough 🤔 So big thanks and will keep you posted as I hopefully progress.

    Hi, I'm new to modelling, my dad used to build models out of match sticks when I was a kid. Made a promise to finish his ship now he past and I'm a man of my word. OK didn't realise it was a magazine kit with many missing parts but I'll figure it out lol. Going to get one of the 3 stage starter kids that you guys recommend from one of the local model shops near Sheffield UK if possible before ordering online
  23. Lillypawz
    Some very sound advice, I'll check out the beginners stuff. One of reasons I don't want to attempt to finish the kit Bismark my dad was doing. I'll develop my skills whilst I source or even manufacture parts for it. Baby steps, I'm an amateur magician (used to be coach driver so something to do with passengers) when I asked a magician for guidance, first thing learn to shuffle a pack of cards.... think same applies here

    These are the plans we managed to find for various ships

    Ship Identified As Bismark and Hachette kit Magazine issues. So something I'm going to have to sort out and get missing copies etc. He lived in Cornwall and in his dieing years moved alot so guessing parts and magazines got miss placed or left behind etc. But on another note, I like the idea of fabricating the missing parts but also maybe build one of his plans. As I've said I've not done this sort of thing before so is there a Book or boat, ship a novice should start with more fabrication than kit building??
  28. Lillypawz
    Thanks Ccoyle You are correct searching Hachette Bismark I have found images that do match parts I have.
  29. Lillypawz
    Thanks ccoyle I'll have a look the width didn't seem right when you look at how wide the bismark is but I'm a complete newbie so will look into Hackett and see if they can assist. Hopefully I might like doing it and see my other creations in future. And advice on where a new modeller should start also welcome

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.
