    Have started the HMS Beagle a couple weeks ago. I ran across your build log. Will be very helpful!

      Hi JFMJr, I used a polyurethane matt varnish from Vallejo:

      Your build is looking first class.  I would encourage you to start a build log, it's not too late.  And you'll find it very useful in getting advice and feedback on your build.

      Thanks for the wood sealer info.  I will attempt to set up the build log.. Can use all the advice I can get!  Really appreciate your help...Are you going to put sails on yours? I notice some do and some don't.

      Again, Thanks

      Unfortunately the sails supplied in the kit are a poor quality so I don't want to fit them.  It's a lot of work and I think it looks better without them.

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.
