    I did not have any pins and was struggling to keep the false deck against the bulkheads, so I drilled holes and used toothpicks. After getting the false deck glued down, I realized that the front two bulkheads are not quite lined up as you can see in the cut-outs on the false deck. Not sure if this matters much, but don't know if there is anything I can do about it now.

    I assumed that the rear bulkhead had to be filed down so that the false deck would lay flat along the bulkheads.

    After getting the bulkheads all glued up, I realized that the rear bulkhead did not stay aligned properly. I had to use an Exacto knife to cut through the glue along the joint and get it re-glued straight.

    Hello all, I have decided to build the HMS Cruiser 1:64 by Caldercraft as my first build. I have a feeling that I will be asking a lot of questions here.

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.
