    Just an aside here on tools to start with..... band-aids. I still end up cutting myself .

    PM Chuck and see about being a sponsor here. That would give you access to post your products and also a large audience.

    I suggest that if you haven't done it, open a build log for this model in the kit area. It is the best way to meet others and get help when needed.

    Follow doctors' advice and kick back for a bit, Gary. Let your self get over the virus first as health is more important than any model.

    Welcome to MSW. I see you've received a lot of great advice. The best advice on tools is start simple. Buy only what you need when you need it. There's a lot of "junk" out there that is really a waste of money. And on the first builds...start "small". Like no masts and build from there. The Model Shipways 3 ship begiiner package is a great way to go. Think "baby steps" on this. My first kit purchase was Billings Vasa. Oops. Luckily, I put it away and did some small projects first. Taking time to learn the basics will go a long way to having a rewarding hobby as you progress on the journey.

    Quite a few of us are in the same boat as you I guess we're just dinosaurs from a previous time.

    Welcome to MSW, Scott. Feel free to open build logs on your projects as they are a great way to meet others and also get help as needed.

    Welcome to MSW, Rick. Just a suggestion here. Take your original prints to an architectural copy shop or possibly one of the many copy shops/office supply shops and see if they can copy them to the exact size you need.

    Your work is beyond incredible, Marc.

    Welcome to MSW, Max. I'm looking forward to your build. If you don't have it, I recommend getting a copy of Hahn's book "Ships of the American Revolution" (going from memory on this title). She's an interesting ship, IMO. I built one but for "reasons" never finished it but I still have the plans and hope I live long enough to finish the projects currently underway and then do another Licorne and this time, finish it.

    I believe that article was removed as there were issues with it. But I don't remember what the issues were. Someone might have it in their files though.

    Looks good. I suggest you open a build log to continue with posting progress photss. This area is just for questions and since the questions have been answered, make a build log to continue.

    Just amazing Glen. Makes my eyes cross just thinking about something that tiny.

    Thanks for these. I wonder how many other old news films are locked away in archives.

    Many choices on ship's boats. As for painting what you have, look to other logs for your model for starters. Alternately, you could look to the sponcors here on MSW and see what they offer in the way of small boats.

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.
