    Today , I got the trim package stained ( rub rail & toe rail) I then painted the waterline on the Rudder ( Gloss White ) and the Spreaders ( flat White ) I installed the Rub rails first followed by the Toe rails , I then installed the fore and aft Cockpit trim . Then I was able to get 3 coats of Epifanes varnish on all the trim, Almost ready for rigging and Ballast. Here are the results

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.
