    Here is a picture of our blocks (rope stropped) painted with Testor's "Dark Tan" rattle can after cleaning the blocks in lacquer thinner. Lay some making tape sticky side up, place the blocks on it, spray, let dry. Flip the blocks over then repeat.

    Hi Jazzchip, BlueJacket's help line is staffed by Charlie Cook, who is the most gentle and patient of people to deal with. He will never refuse to answer your calls and questions, even if you asked before but forgot the answer. Of course, you can always call me, the BlueJacket Buck stops on my desk! We have several kits designed specifically for the newbie, with instructions to match. For example, our regular kits may say "strike the waterline" but our first-time kits devote a whole page, plus 3 diagrams and 2 photos on HOW to do the waterline. Good luck, Nic Damuck, owner, blueJacket Shipcrafters

    Just a point of clarification - BlueJacket does not sell mm size wood we use inches, and sell real mahogany, not stained wood.

    BlueJacket ships all over the world, but the shipping cost is more than domestic of course.

    Not to toot my corporate horn, but our kit of the Charles P. Notman is 41 inches long, has excellent instructions, and a lot of laser-cut parts. link here: http://www.bluejacketinc.com/kits/notman.html

    I am sorry you were inconvenienced and disappointed with our deadeyes. We pride ourselves on the quality of our fittings, but being a casting, there is some minor clean up required. For your future information, on the cover of our printed price list/fittings and on the fittings web page, we clearly state "unless otherwise noted, all fittings are Britannia metal"

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.
