Nice looking model! This one is on my to-do list.  Do you have plans, either your own or someone else’s?

Hi there, I just noticed your comment. I don't have real plans, I simply came up with a rough design based on research. I made some drawings but nothing reproducible or usable by anyone else. I've since come across better information and have improved my skills, so am thinking of re-building this model to a higher standard. If you pursue this, be careful, because many of the existing replicas out there do not follow the best information available from the original sources, most of them are rebuilt or redesigned in various modern ways. Let me know if I can be of more specific help.

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.
