These are photos of the rig I made to build the stairs for the Endurance I am currently building; As my kit's stairs were brass strips, I decided to make them out of wood. I took a piece of 1/2" balsa wood as the base. I then secured Saran wrap to it so the pieces later glued to it wouldn't stick. Then I slotted a piece of hardwood at a 45-degree angle for each tread (second photo). The third photo shows the stairs with stringers and treads glued in place (I used 5-minute epoxy).

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.
