    Hello friends - I am saddened to say this build is being terminated. I have got a terminal illness & don`t have the will or energy to continue. Not sure how much time I have left, so I will look in at your projects from time to time. Mark
  27. marktiedens
    Yep,some parts of this kit are a bit frustrating. You`re doing a fine job,though. Hang in there. Mark

    Hi Kevin - as promised,here are some pics of my stage coach. Looking at your pics, it`s obvious they made a lot changes to the kit since I built mine. Mark
  29. marktiedens
    I built this kit a number of years ago & it appears they have redesigned the kit at some time. Your build photos look almost totally different from what I remember! The chassis looks about the same, but the coach work is almost totally different. I don`t have it anymore - built it for my Sister`s husband, who used to work for Wells Fargo. I will see if I can get some pictures if you would like to see it. Mark

    Thanks Edward. Mark

    Hi - another small update. All the channels are glued in place along with the fiddly PE support brackets. Extra brackets are supplied in the kit, but none are shown on the mizzen channels on the plans, so I did not add them. The extras may have been provided because the way they needed bending to fit it would be very easy to break them (don`t ask me how I know). Need to make up a bunch of chainplates next. Thanks for looking in. Mark

    This is really, really nice. Congratulations on a great build! Mark

    I have a 1/48 Monogram B24J sitting in the closet waiting to be built SOME day. Mark
  34. marktiedens
    Very nice - watch out for rocks & tree stumps! Mark

    My vote goes to the vintage one - the newer one looks like a cross between a horse & lion. You would think a newer design would be better, not worse! Mark

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.
