    I have the Veritas Miniature low-angle block plane from Lee Valley. I clamp planks etc that require tapering into my Amati keel clamp. Because the top of the clamp is metal I can slide the plank to the correct height and slide the plane across without worrying about any wavy cuts. The plane is a very good piece of kit, well worth the expense. If you live in the States, a bonus for you. Due to the fact our dollar is trading like the Mexican peso you'll get it for a steal.

    When I built my 1/72 Revell HMCS Snowberry I left all the parts on the frets I ordered from Great Little Ships. I then taped them to a flat surface and sanded them with a fine sandpaper. Just easy swipes across. This helped rough them up a bit so I could airbrush them with a very light blast of primer. I bent and attached some of the small parts then hand painted them. The larger parts like the funnel and wheel house etc, I built sprayed and weathered them them as you would the kit part it replaced. I wanted an accurate look to this kit. On some of the wooden model ships I've built I have left some of the items brass or steel just for interest. But it's your call.

    Hello everyone. I'm a new kid on the block. My mum gave me my first model when I was 6. That was 63 years ago. Over the years I have taken great interest in wooden ships. I am now building the Corel HMS Endeavour and I look forward to advice from your members. Thnx D.

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.
