    Thanks for the welcome and the great advice. Really appreciate it. This is my work space and where I'm at today. Long ways to go!

    Question, In the instructions it shows gluing the ship to the stand early in the build. I worry that might restrict flexibility in painting. Can/should I wait until closer to installing masts etc? David

    Kevin, Both your suggestions worked! Putting a subtle back bevel on the edges of the decks with a file really helped. Dry fitting the decks now look highly satisfactory. Also anticipating that these scraps of plastic for support will do the trick. Thanks again, David

    Kevin, Thank you so much. I'll give that bevel sanding a try but still pretty sure it won't hide the seems. Thankfully the cabins will cover most of it. Sanding off the positive plank lines and replacing with negative scribe lines I don't quite understand. Sounds very challenging. David

    I suspect this may not be the place for my question so I apologize. Just getting started on the Revel Cuddy Sark 1/96. I did not plan on overlaying a wood deck. My question is how do I hide the seams of the plastic deck. Also it appears to suggest the 3 deck pieces are butt jointed, painted and glued before installation. Having pre fit the 3 decks, I don't understand how that's possible without breaking the seal. Should I glue some pieces of plastic across the underside of the 2 joints to stabilize the deck or...?

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.
