    OK everyone. Thanks again for the encouragement. I do have a dremel, but am looking to get some higher grit sandpaper than the 120 AO that I have been using. The length seems to be one area needing a fair amount of 'reduction.' dp

    Hi everyone and thanks for the replies and encouragement. I've really only just begun and am frankly surprised (concerned, worried) at the amount of wood that needs to be removed from the hull to get it fit the hull profile and the station markers. I glued the station markers onto manilla folder card board so they would be sturdier than just using the heavy paper they were printed on. The hull profile I glued onto 1/4 inch foam board and all my cutting was slow and meticulous but, again, it seems like an awful lot of material needs to be removed, which makes me wonder if I'm doing things right even at this most beginning stage. Is it usual? Thanks (I can provide pics if necessary)

    Hi, I'm about to start work on the Dapper Tom. Anyone care to offer any advice on it or solid hulls in general? Thanks!

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.
