I would be humbled to introduce myself and my shipbuilding trials and tribulations. I am living in beautiful Geelong in Australia and have recently become a grandfather, and my son has moved away from home, hence I have more spare time.

Previously, I did some model building including AL Independence, AL HMV Bounty cutaway kit, Panart Armed Pinnance and Panart Caroline.

My modeling skills had a prolonged period of rest, 21 years, but now I have jumped back in and acquired the Victory Models HMS Vanguard.

I have seen some of the inspirational build logs by some of the MSW members and hope to be able to learn much for my build.

I plan to post a build log for the Vanguard, and to be a worthy member of this esteemed group.

Thank you for reading my post.

Welcome, Chestcutter! I live in Ballarat, just down the highway from you, and there are a couple of others in the general area. 

 

Yes, start a build log for your Vanguard. It's a great way to get help and advice, and we get to look at it as it takes shape.

 

Have fun!

 

Steven

 

It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

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.
