    Hi Chris, A fabulous model and a great build by James. I see a couple of items are covered by the use of waterslide decals. These do have a definite shelf life - I know because of my journeys into plastic modelling. Would you care to make an estimate of the shelf life of the ones included in the kit? Regards, Seb.

    I have pre-ordered Indy, with pear wood blocks, the maple lasered deck and etched copper plates. I eagerly look forward to the kits release and despatch. I crewed on the Sydney based James Craig for a number of years - the photo next to my name was taken from aloft on that ship. Model ship building takes me back to those days - wonderful. thanks Chris.

    I have read that English frigates were supplied with three lengths of top gallant masts to enable the setting of Royal yards. To do this would mean fitting longer topgallant masts than in the kit? Is this correct?

    Indy is really looking great!

    Hi Chris, Is “Indy” going to carry Royal Yards, that would be a magnificent sight!

    The furniture really enhances the kit. It looks fabulous. Thanks to Chris.

    Hi Chris, Other than the plates being pre-cut, what are the differences between the PE copper plate set and the copper tape?

    Does Chris Watton have a planned date as to when he will be taking orders for this kit? I think I read earlier in this thread that the kit might be finalised at the end of this calendar year?

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.
