Did I mention that is pretty wood?  Or the light is very complimentary, but either way that looks very nice with the poly.

A bit more progress. I'm not a huge fan of the brass moldings supplied in the kit (heck, I'm not a fan of PE brass in general) -- if they're not left bright, then they need to be prepped, shaped, primed, and painted before adding them. After that there is still the risk of chipping paint off of them.

Following the construction sequence in the instructions takes us to the quarterdeck railings next.

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.
