    Recently started the Phantom and have appreciated your details and photos. Will help me greatly in this first build. I did have a couple of questions if I may. On page one you mention that the vessel length is 10. Yet your ruler shows about 9. I realize these kits arent by any means consistant but my hull right out of the box measures 9 5/8 " and needs to be carved down to around 9 1/4 to match the blue print scale. (mostly at the stern end) i assume you had alot of carving and sanding at the stern to get it countoured to the right shape ? Also I noticed you had the stern propped up when adding your water line. Was this to get the keel at a level angle and the proper line ? Thanks in advance for your reply and for a great build document ....

    Not only a very nice build but a nice heartfelt narrative and progression. About ready to start my Phantom as a first kit and hope it turns out half as nice as yours. Take care.

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.
