    Hi Chuck, thank you for your fast response! Btw: I am still interested in Speedwell, have some questions regarding postage for all items (to get good wood where I live is very difficult). The books from Seawatch are exquisite and fire lust for more! Waiting your shop opens again. Best regards, Robert

    Hello, please bear with me, maybe my question is answered elsewhere, I just did not find it: What is/are the differences between both ships from CAF and from Drydock? Same name, scale, different length, which is easier on the builder, etc. Any help would be much apreciated - it will be one for me, but which one?

    Hello Harlequin! Just discovered your build and saved it to follow. I have started with her but had to put it aside, too difficult for a newbie. Training with Pegasus now. Bellona was my first book from Brian Lavery and kept her place as something special… Thank you for your thread, wonderful job! (How did you manage with four kids and a wife? 😉) Cheers!

    Hi Tom! Very nice work, she looks splendid. I am building her right now and as it is my first one I am grateful for every single advice. I am pondering how to treat those PE ornaments/frieses - did you paint them? What color? What glue did you use? Thank you in advance and regards, Robert

    Thank you both for your answers! Very friendly!

    Hello Nearshore, congrats to your build. She is very nice, was my first book from the series The Anatomy of the Ship. Since then she stayed somehow special. Being special (and smaller scale), I started only recently, "training" with other kits first. I like the look of the hull. You applied a couple coats of "WOP". Living in Europe and English not being my native language - what is "WOP" exactly? Wish you well with her, keep up your expertise! Robert

    Hi Dusan, I am from Slovakia, living now in Switzerland. Stumbled on your log through Winchelsea - she is beautiful. Glad to see somebody from Slovakia in this forum performing this hobby so beautifully. Myself I am a newbie, fighting HMS Pegasus from Amati. Made a couple of mistakes very soon, they show now and take time to cover up. Well, learning by doing... Keep up your work, very nice, I like it very much. Will be following you on your journey. Congratulations, Robert

    Hello Dan, just discovered your logs. Beautifully clean work, congrats! I am starting with her in January, your log should inspire and help. On the other builds: Your F-15 sports nice decals - where are they from? F-15s are usually less colourful than, say F-14s, which I miss a bit. They are mostly gray and I have couple of them to build...

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.
