    is the correct answer....I never get too hung up on mistakes....i like my builds to have knocks and scrapes on them....a perfect looking model ship looks too sterile and soulless....you are now part of your Victory and it tells your story of the build......looks fine to me.

    hi from Lancashire.....i'm a former paratrooper that likes ships....I know...unusual....get yourself a simple kit and give it a go....you really don't need too much kit to begin with.

    cheers....i dont get to hung up about accuracy and scale ....for me i just enjoy the build. Unless something on the model looks completely wrong I build as per the plans....the only thing I change is the rigging.....I always buy from ropes of scale to complete the model.

    my builds are full of mistakes.....knocks, scrapes, scratches, dints, ...i leave them in as it is the soul of the build....I hate to see a pristine build with no scratches and scrapes....mine have blood stains and errors to many to mention. For me it is the story of the build. The evidence of a builder putting everything into it......the errors and mistakes are what make the build personal.

    i have an old airfix kit of the Beagle which i am going to build with my grandson, but I must purchase the occre kit........is it a decent kit?
  28. harlequin
    adding the blocks and ropework to the yards seems a never ending task, but I am getting there slowly....very slowly..
  29. harlequin
    some of the yards have now got their attire.

    great build. Must try a Vanguard kit, but I have 3 corel kits to get through first, and that is after I complete HMS Endeavour which I am currently starting the rigging.

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.
