    Does anyone know if the larger Spanish man-o-wars' used mesh/ rigging on the sides of the decks, like the Victory, to store the crews hammocks during the day? also Did the Spanish ships have their name on the transom ( also like the "Victory") cheers

    Hi all, A few quick enquiries: Did the larger Spanish ships have the netting/stowage nets along either side of the main deck like the English ships- like the Victory? and did they have their name on the transom ? I cant find any info on this and would like to install the netting if this is accurate ! cheers !

    The AL Endeavour does look OK I like the idea of the double planking............

    Not a bad- I finished mine some time ago you may need to double plank it though- I single planked mine and it looked terrible !!

    Hi Having finished the AL San Juan Nepomuceno some years back, I'm looking to build a larger Endeavour- 1:50 ish scale I had some issues with the Nepomuceno kit....... I had to double plank the hull, as one layer didn't cut the mustard ! in doing so, I became better at planking than I thought- So I'm after some advice on which kit supplier does the best Endeavour... Something that is double planked, good fittings,brass/ photo etch etc, good rigging and construction instructions ( and a reasonable price !) Not interested in sails or bases- Occre looks good- the AL also looks good, good price- but has received some bad press, and from my experience I can see why ! Suggestions anyone? Cheers !

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.
