    glbarlow got a reaction from Nirvana in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates   
    I’ll of course start a build log when the time comes but a few first look observations:
    -It arrived just a few after being shipped, no delays with UPS
    -the shipping sleeve is thick and sturdy, no dents from crossing the Atlantic. 
    - more bubble wrap inside the kit box preventing anything from sliding around 
    -everything inside in multiple sealed plastic bags grouped by instructions and plan, strip wood, boxes for the pear wood blocks, which look extremely sharp, detailed, and well made.
    -The lasered parts  look soo much better than any kit I’ve ever seen. And of course everything is boxwood. 
     
    I don’t know how many of the 18 Master shipwright Editions are left, I highly recommend getting one.

    Well this is pretty cool. I’m honored to have kit number 1 of Vanguard Model’s HMS Flirt Master Shipwrights Edition  

    Thanks Chris for including the nice lasered board!
     
    Everything inside the box is such high quality. I’ve never seen so much boxwood. Very nice!

    This is great Derek and exactly what I was looking for. Just something to learn a bit about the mill and I will eventually need this ring for Cheerful. Thank you for taking the time to detail it out. 
     
    I understand about the dust, I ripped three sheets of planking strips, about 40-50 last, night.  Lots of dust.

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.
