    Thanks Ken, its actualy a pleasure to work on at this scale - never used to be that way back in the day of less light and no magnifaction, I actualy feel like I'm working on a Giant - its really relaxing work tbh. OC.

    I think thats how we all learn on our own models, its so hard not to accept our build as being a test for our next one, but guess its the way it is as we learn and improve with everyone built. OC.

    So it starts - first was the belly addional armour plate to help defend against IED's, this has to be bent slightly at the front to follow the slope of the bottom, this was then glued down, next came the Two sides - these simply followed some lugs and glued, then the rear plate was glued in place. Next will be all the Thousands of parts including some PE to go on the back plate. OC.

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.
