I am prepping some items for an upcoming Vanguard Harpy build.  Inspired by Glenn, Blue Ensign, ECK and others, I requested the kit for Xmas and got it. 😊

 

I have started tinkering/planning with the Harpy before even beginning the planking for my current build. Most build logs show some creative license with replacement rings over the supplied eyebolts on the lower deck for lifting hatch handles.  I wanted to also experiment a bit.  I have used 28 gauge black wire which lays flatter and threaded that through 2mm and 3mm rings as lifting handles. Not sure which looks more to scale.  Also painted 3mm & blackened 2mm.  Thoughts on which size / scale and finish looks best?  I’ll probably prep all 40 for the lower Harpy deck and get back to the Adder.

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.
