    Great start, I would have thought yellow ocre as it was quite a standardized paint. OC.

    Welcome rusty, I have to agree with phil its quite a good starting kit, Im sure most would agree best action with it is to think your way through it stage by stage, try dry fitting in stages to get a feel for things, but most of all ask as many questions as you want even if you think it sounds daft or not important (we have all been there) most of all take your time and enjoy. OC.

    Great work and some very intersting research being learned - I too am very skeatchy when it comes to steam trains, the only thing I remember building with my farther was one of those large card ones - I lost interest and he finished it, had a couple of Hornby ones though as a kid. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Another couple of areas I see kit manufactures laking - correct scale beam so the canons have the corect room for movement between the bulwarks and gratings, and also corect scale stairs as so many of them if converted to real life would have sailors struggling to clear the frames when going up or down stairs. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood

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.
