  1.    Mr Whippy reacted to a post in a topic: HMS Victory 1805 by Robert29 - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:72

    Hi Robert, Echoing all the other accolades, this is indeed an exceptional model, and combined with a very impressive build log giving many useful tips. I am about to embark on a similar journey and will no doubt be double-checking my progress against the master for the next few years! Thank you in anticipation. One question: now that you can view your completed model with its internal lighting on, in hindsight what would you have chosen to do differently with the electronics and lighting numbers/positions compared with your original design? Regards, Bruce

    My research in these forums leads me to understand that a "top of range" HMS Victory kit is one from Caldercraft. The kit from Panart however is half the price and more within my price range (although still relatively expensive). What are the differences between these two kits that would justify the extra cost? Are there any additions or modifications to the Panart kit that I might consider to "upgrade" it to a better quality build without forking out double the price for the Caldercraft kit?

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.
