    Sorry for my English still in learning phase. Yes I'm trying to duplicate a realistic finish, But being a plastic modeler we try to achieve realism with dry brush , washes and so on What I see in wooden ships modeling usually is a factory fresh build, not a bad thing but I'm trying to duplicate a realistic grain finish and not furniture quality . So I searched for a step to step process and what product was used and final completion then I would have some direction but found nothing. The era I enjoy and now living in Massachusetts with having some great history in whaling era and a recent trip to Mystic CT was fantastic.

    hello I have searched MSW on stains for wood but not sure which way to go . I have seen completed boats that were stained and I was some and impressed with the finish but it wasn't a realistic finish . Some posts I have seen completed used a poly stains from MinWax and I was also impressed but other suggestions were Tung or Linseed oil . My experience is with a few Midwest kits but come from a plastic modeling background

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.
