    A friend of a friend had Monty Python's "Always look on the bright side of life" song as a ringtone... until he forgot to mute his phone and it rang during a funeral... Nick

    Hi Vane Lovely build. I did exactly the same thing with some of my second planking but spaced out the CA so that I could add normal wood glue as well. That should give a stronger bond to the first planking. My two pennies worth anyway! 🙂 Nick

    Morning all The family and I went to Portsmouth yesterday trying to make the most of our season tickets before they ran out. Had no idea that HMS Prince of Wales was arriving that day... As one of the guides kindly told my wife: "Madam don't you listen to the news?" 😄. Anyhoo here's a few pictures Nick

    No worries No Idea! Think I had seen that link already. Just gotta keep looking at Lidl website...
  26. fnick
    I'd love to get one of those but unfortunately they come up very rarely on the Lidl website...☹️ And I can't find anyone else in the UK that sells them.

    Morning everyone Small amount of progress. First cannon build. Got a smaller one to do and I can start drilling the round gunnports. The barrel was already as shown above but I used birchwood brass blacken on the trunnion. Worked really well. Quick and easy to use ( I have no affiliation with the company by the way). Gun lines up pretty well with the existing gun port. Phew! 😀 Thanks for visiting Nick

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.
