    You have taken this kit to a whole new level. I want to build it again using your ideas. Thanks for sharing Bob. Bob R.

    I think you should leave them natural Chuck. I doubt they put much effort into painting them on the original. Bob R.

    No taper, no modification. I think I cut them to 3" and drill the holes in the keel to 3/64". As Toni says, it is very light. Bob R.

    Floyd, I also used boxwood to plank the longboat and I am very happy I did. I also used the brass rods for my stand. I either picked up some rod at my local hobby shop or had left over material from another kit. The rod I used was 1/16". Good Luck and keep posting, Bob R.

    Al D. Usually I will remove paint prior to gluing. However, for the channels I did not and attached them using CA (Zap-A-Gap) Brand. Bob R.

    Thanks Adam. Cut, shaped, and painted the starboard side channels. Pinned and glued into place. Port pieces are sitting on deck waiting to be worked. It's amazing how much dust the macro setting on the camera picks up. Bob R.

    Looking great Wes. Whatever you do, do NOT stain the decks as per the practicum. It is a regret I have. 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.
