    Supprisingly roomy inside the actual ones - about the same size as a family sallon, great work by the way. OC.

    That is so nice of you to say EG, I guess like all things in modeling - the more practice we get - the better we achieve things, kind of pick up from mistakes from before, I also have a better routine for painting now - before I used to paint directly from the bottle/pot of paint wiping the excess on the rim, now I use a flat dish and just put in a few drops of paint off the brush and dilute with distilled water as required, that way I am able to get thinner layers down. OC.

    That will look Superb with washes and highlighting to bring the bones out - could you not remove the base from the bottom of the Pearl and use the Two legs pushed into Two gaps on the above skeleton bases - it would look Amazing (Totally like Nothing else that anyone has done) keep up the great work.

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.
