I started and finished the only hull of the only boat that I’ve ever built over ten years ago. As I’ve only just finished said boat and am pretty happy with the rigging of it and that the wooden boat thang has really bitten, I decided that I should at least learn how a wooden hull was built before going too far. By understanding the principles I can apply them in future builds either scratch or kit. Looking around for a free plan (I know, I’m bad) I happened across the Gukor here and so decided as it looked ‘fairly’ straightforward I would use it. Before I go any further I must state a few things. I did start work on this build six months ago before I was unaware of this awesome site and the immense resource that it is When I started about the only resource I had was Charles G Davis’s book “ The Built-Up Model” My drafting skills are non-existent As it was meant as learning exercise, precision is not really in my mind. Refining the techniques learnt will be for a future project. My materials were purposely chosen as they are cheap and plentiful I haven’t got very far today as I’m still kitting out a new workshop/shed after being banished from the dining room table I would advise purists look away now – you have been warned - you may not like what you are about to see, but then again, please stay and help me learn!

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.
