She's coming along very nicely. John -
Don't rule out a scratch build entirely. It's amazing what you can do with the help of other forum members. John

I'm afraid I don't have any insights into kit manufacturers' mind, Zach, except to say that they will produce what they think will sell the most kits. John

Zach, I think that a scratch build will be your only way to a model of 'Endurance'. John

It's great fun, Russ, but be prepared for the most common questions and comments - "Where are the toilets?" "You must have a lot of patience." "Do you build with Balsa wood?" John

Another very small update. Last time I was in the museum I temporarily abandoned the deck clamps in favour of starting to fit the bilge stringers, as one of the other model makers came in and wanted to photograph the process of inserting treenails for an article he was writing and the bilge was easier for his camera focus. What with photos, yarning about model making and an extended lunch in the museum café, I didn't get much done! 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.
