    Welcome to MSW, Serpe. I suggest that you open a log in the kit area as it's the best way to get help and meet others. You can search for topics like buildlogs using the search function (upper right of any page).

    Back around '67, one of our pilots bought a Cobra. Was an amazing car for the time. I crewed for him fairly often and while talking one day, he let me drive it. All I can say is "what a ride".

    Theo, This area is for intros. I wouid suggest you ask the question here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-tys/ That area would more likely get you and answer as not all members visit this are area regularly.

    You might take some photos and show them to the folks at your local library. Ours does accept them and rotate them around on display. We also have a children's center that does the same thing with things like planes, cars, etc. and some ships.

    A little inspiration for you.....

    You might go to the Kit Area and in the 1751-1800 do a search on the 18th Century Merchantman Half Hull. The kit designer did post her work on this which became the instruction manual. I think that might be the best answer I have.

    The only thought I have would be for you to go to the Scratch Area and have a look through the logs from 1901 to the present day.

    I'm assuming these are "flying" models? The issue with them was weight and wood skins would have created their own set of problems. For WWI models, generally they were fabric covered so silkspan gives a more "correct" look.

    Welcome to MSW, Andrew. I would suggest you open a build log in the appropriate area as it's probably the best way to get help and meet other builders. Who knows, maybe some did the model back in the day and since no Web, no log.

    I've seen post after post asking for info on the "best kit". The catch is, the author never specifies what they mean by "best" until others begin asking. The concept of "best" is rather subjective to many factors.... instructins, begnner kit or more advanced, materials, and reputation of the supplier, historical accuracy, etc. So help us out.. give us some more info on what your criteria is. Thank you.

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.
