    One thing that I have learned if I should do another solid hull. Throw away the templates that they give you in the kit and make your own directly from the drawings. By using their templates I have spent a lot of time trying to fix the mistakes.I will say though not perfect my hull is almost at the point where I can move on to the next step.

    I'm building my first ship model which is the Phantom,You did an outstanding job I can only hope my boat comes out half as good.

    I have discovered that the template is 1\8th of inch longer than it's suppose to be. assuming that the diagrams are at scale. You can see in the picture where I point out the difference.

    I've started to shape the hull. The stern is pretty close to matching the template.

    I've purchased the phantom because it's suppose to be an entry level kit. Maybe I should have found something even easier but I own it so now I'm going to attempt to build it.

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.
