    I am really enjoying the work you are doing. I am learning a bunch!! I know that interiors are a bit sticky White is a good 1st choice but they used a lot of yellow too in the same places. War ships used red on the walls and overhead and the gun decks. The officers country usually was stained dark with white overhead and heavy canvas on the deck kind of like a carpet. Some of the richer officers had real carpet. You can check it out on the Victory site. Cutters usually had a Warrant rank as captain...where master and commander came from...and had a crew of up to 60 men. Not good for privacy. All dependent on size and job and armament.

    Love the interior work. That is how I learned X-stitch...carpet in officers country. A learning experience! Neat barrels I must try the way you did it mine come out blah to say the best. Tom

    I'm happy to find someone kinda new to wood too. Nice pick for a first time! Watch out on the rigging ... don't buy the "artest" version, mistakes are often made there. I found the Anatomy of a Ship Searies "Cutter Active" to be trust worthy. The lead of the lines is important and can make or break an otherwise good model. I'm really looking to see more of your work!! Sincerely ringbolt2013 (Tom)

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.
