I am currently working on the Harriet Land from Model EXPO. Unfortunately the kit arrived without anchors, ship’s wheel and figurehead. I have sourced a ship’s wheel and anchors elsewhere but not a figurehead.  I have tried contacting Model Expo without success. Could someone who has completed this model please photograph a close up of the figurehead and post it here. I am going to attempt to carve it myself

 

thank you.

This is the figurehead that comes with the kit,it is supposed to be an eagle perched. Anything you carve will be better. Lol. There is no definition on the eagle, it is even hard to figure its an eagle. Good luck.

Tried this. They said they would send part. That was several months ago (I am in Australia)

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.
