    My kit is arriving Wed. The info you gave me will be very helpfull. This will be my 4th project. I made all kinds of mistakes, to much CA, not following the importanace of alignment... My building skills were in giant scale aircraft that I flew in scale events had to build strong to hold together a 20 lb. aircraft. The pic is of a 1851 schonner used copper tape made strips 4 or 5 inches made a jig for the rivets. Not to bad for a hack...

    Boat1.jpg.8d88fd92fe837887ed0f959ca0425dba.jpgMy 2nd venture ,not so many re-do's... Every day is a is a learing exp.  Needed to re-think my style of building . This is not having to add a 2 lb engine and weigh 15 lbs and fly, just look correct and stay together on my shelf

    I;m not new to modeling but shipbuilding YES build and flew giant scale aircraft. I started with the sail boat Harvey. Made many mistakes got a biginners book and saw how many I made..Have the 2nd model fix a few made a few. needed getting the proper tools is a big plus to doing things correct....My first question is: building an aircraft I used CA and some epoxy had to be strong using CA on decking and planking makes it hard to finish! Making lines and halyards using CA knots get like rocks, should I be using white glue thined out, and using this glue on planking and decking I have many more questions but using the trial an error system, not the best but it's working...Ron G

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.
