    Hi all, right straight in - The kit starts with the inside cabin/cockpit bulkhead, this has shelf with different items on it - and the other side of the cockpit entrance is some pipework and wiring, basis steps of primer - paint layers - details - shading then highlighting. Its a start not looking too bad. OC.

    All that work has paid off Gorgeous Job - thats about as good as those kits could be - you should feel very proud of what you have done. Pleaase please build SS Canberra if you can find one - you could either do her as she was as a liner or as she was in the Falklands carrying troops and a bit beat up due to the weather. Love your work. OC.

    I think it depends on the size of your project and the available space you have, also with the project - it also depends on the scale of difficulty of the kit and range of your skills, this would affect how many tools and other things you need to work on your project. As a kind of example - my work space is our dining room table that I have commondered and use just for my model building now, it gives me an area of about 4 x 3 feet but it does the job. 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.
