    Richard, The yellow cover was used on the first edition in 1979, and the grey cover with the photo on subsequent editions (from 1984 onward). In my (1990) edition, the 1984 edition is noted as a 'revised' edition and 1990 as a 'reprint', but there is nothing to say what (if any) additions or corrections were made from 1979 to 1984. John

    Mike, Have you thought of ditching the power tools and simply cutting the joints by hand? Use a knife and file for small pieces; a chisel if the pieces are large. John

    Hello Wayne, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Have you had a browse through the articles in the database yet? There's a wealth of practical information there for you. And, yes, planking in shorter lengths (just as on the real ship) is certainly the best way to get realistic planking. John

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.
