    Hi Lindsay, Still very early days. What I have found is that there is a lot of information. Some of it is conflicting, so need to sort the wheat from the chaff. The kit itself looks complete, and are happy with the purchase. I did buy the paint kit to go with it, as I thought it might hide some of the imperfections that I will undoubtedly have! One thing I would say is that I am glad I purchased something and have started. You can only read so much before getting your hands dirty. I know I will make mistakes but hope that they won't be that bad that I can't hide them. Am also in no rush, which is good as I am working on the model only when I go down to my property at Jervis Bay. Another thing that I have found is that I will need to get an old PC setup in the hobby room (back of the garage) as the instructions are only online and you need to refer to them all the time. Take the plunge am sure you will enjoy the experience and maybe we can help each other 🙂 Cheers Peter

    Thanks John. Good to know where I can meet some fellow modelers. Should have thought about the Museum before 🙂

    Have just joined MSW after finding the site this past weekend. Am a very novice beginner, having only toyed with many plastic models as a teenager (many moons ago!). Now that I am retired wanted to try out building model ships, which is something I have always been interested in. Have bought the Artesania Latina HMS Bounty Jolly Boat as my first model. I have already started and put the frame together. Now on to the real challenge of planking. Have been reading lots of articles and tutorials, but have found them somewhat conflicting as there are many different approaches you can take. Trying to decide on which one to use! Looking forward to getting stuck into the project and interacting with fellow modelers. It was good to see a number of Aussies here as well! Have found this site to be a great resource. Cheers

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.
