    All, Sorry I have been out of touch. We have recently moved from San Diego to Norfolk, Ma. The move was unexpected and done quickly (family issues back east). Anyway, my stuff just arrived Friday and I have to set up my new shop. I will be back to building by the new year. Also looking to join the Constitution Guild as well as anything in the Providence area. I hope WackoWolf can guide me to a good group. Bob R.

    Started work on internal bulkheads and ladders. Also a couple of really nice sheaves. They were pretty fun to put together. Bob R.

    I agree Clare. It did seem never ending. Each piece of planking met my Byrnes Sander to ensure a nice fit. Bob R.

    Thanks all. Chuck, Not much information on the wide, wide world of web about these boats. I will try to get some details on my upcoming Japan trip. I do know that with the exception of the bottom of the hull being painted black, these boats were pretty much natural wood. I will be using just some wipe-on poly. Bob R.
  24. BRiddoch
    No problem Joe. Nils, you are correct. It is a very well manufactured kit and it is going together surpisingly well. Bob R.
  25. BRiddoch
    Continue to work on decking. I wish I could tell you exactly the parts I am working on, but again, the instructions are all in Japanese. Bob R.

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.
