    I used the inverse of the sticker to mask off the shield for painting - I've never been a fan of stickers. Almost done.

    Did the beveling on the garboard planks last night, and worked a little more on beveling the frames. I'm going to start the shaping this evening. The whole rolling bevel thing in the instructions didn't really become clear until I started working on it, then it made sense.

    @JacquesCousteau @palmerit Thanks guys. I managed to get it apart without breaking anything or cutting myself. Didn't see the tip about waiting 24 hours before it was already reglued and clamped in. I'll make sure it is bonded solid before I start on the planking.

    Thanks! I will see if I can loosen the frame piece. This is the only one far enough off that I could actually measure it.

    This is one of those kits that I absolutely love, and absolutely do not have the space for it. Following along to live vicariously through you.

    Last night I did the bevels on the frames. I've got one frame that's not perfectly centered, but I think it will work out ok after dry fitting the garboard planks. Looking at how thin the planking sheet is, getting the bevels on them right is going to be exciting...

    After comparing the quality of Vanguard vs. other companies, I’m not sure I’ll buy anything other than Vanguard going forward (other than a battleship I want to do). I’ve got the Lady Eleanor and the Sherbourne in the queue, and can see myself just working my way up to the multi-mast kits.

    Not pictured, but I used the one-piece bottom, so I scribed between the planks to give it some definition. Sanded the frames, and then glued up!

    This is looking good.

    After a lovely four-day family vacation at the coast, I unpacked the knock-off Legos and worked on the build board.
  34. LoydB
    I believe they are, but you have to email them. I'm eying one to go with my sander.

    UPS charged me $40 before they would deliver my Vanguard Lady Eleanor this week.

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.
