    My only concern with the Caldercraft is that it doesn't have sails and the instructions. Not sure I would like to follow mainly text with minimal visuals. But maybe the plans add enough extra context.

    Hi, I am about to finish my current project and looking for a new one. I've decided on the HMS Victory but I cannot decide on which version. I have narrowed it down to either the Caldercraft or the Artesania Latina (closed hull). I've seen many reviews on the Caldercraft kit, all very good. But a lot less on the Artesania Latina kit. So I am still debating and hoping some of you fellow modelers can help me decide. Price difference aside, I am looking for an enjoyable build. By that I mean great plans/instructions and well made parts using good quality materials. Having a toddler, my free time is limited, hence the focus on having fun building it and trying to decipher the instructions or fight a badly fitting part. So, which one would you choose and why? Thanks, happy building!

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.
