hi everyone.  wanted to introduce myself.  I have experience in woodworking (humidors, checker boards, Etc).  For my first build I am looking at Artesania Latina 19015 1/50 HMS ENDEAVOUR'S Longboat.  My question is, what tools do I require?  is there a pre-boxed starter tool kit that I can purchase? with planking screws, plank bender, files, Etc?

 

thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

James,

Welcome to MSW.   As far as tools go, have a look here:  http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-materials-and-tools.php  The first 3 posts should help get you started.

 

Also, go to the kit area and this topic is pinned to the top.  Download the kits list and have a look at what others have done.

 

When you're ready, open a build log and above all else... have some fun.

Welcome from a fellow New Yorker!  I think the tool kits are over priced for what you get, so be careful!

Not that I'm aware of but then I did my kit close to 15-16 years ago.

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.
