    Out of the 3 you mention I would use the Titebond III. I use Original Titebond for most of the gluing I do. Its holds well and gives you time to make some adjustments before it sets. The Titebond III is similar except It’s water resistant. That means that if one of your frames or anything you glue with it is misaligned, it’s going to be hard to take apart to fix. So make sure everything is square and where it needs to be.

    I think you’re doing a great job so far Travis. I am currently working on OcCres’ Polaris as well. I just finished the second planking and am working on the deck details atm. I’m going to follow along and see how your build goes. Keep up the good job!

    I appreciate the warm welcome, Thank you all very much! Great idea and I want to start one with my next build. I am very much an introvert and I think a build log would help there as well.

    Hello everyone, My name is Derrick I’m 42 and I’m from Silverton Oregon. I’ve been lurking in the forums now for 6 months or so and decide to finally introduce myself. I am new to model ship building only starting to build in the last couple months. Ive completed the Model Shipways 3 ship shipwright kit and found it to be an absolute joy to complete. My wife might say otherwise as I had a few frustrating moments lol. I am currently working on Occre’s Polaris kit and I’m finding it to be fun. I just finished the second planking and am working on the deck and rigging. Though I find Occre’s instructions decent, especially the pictures, overall they are lacking a bit with any descriptive information. Especially the rigging. Thankfully there are some amazing build logs here on MSW that have been invaluable to me as a beginner. I came into this hobby with almost no nautical or maritime knowledge. I just wanted to build cool looking ships and boats. I still know almost nothing but it’s been a damn blast learning the little bit I have so far. Ive found that learning about the ships, the terminology, how they sail ect. has been equally as fun as building them and I wasn’t expecting that. Anyway I’ve rambled long enough. I just want to end by saying Thank you for having me and Thanks to everyone for all the incredible knowledge you have gathered here. It’s truly awesome.

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.
