This is fantastic! What a splendid model of a very beautiful ship.

Thank you!

Could you add some photos of the whole model, with coppering complete?

Also more details of the rigging? Your photos could then be a helpful reference for many others.

Thank you!

Cinserly:  Great job!  In 1963 I got a solid-hull version from my dad, who got it from a neighbor.  After having built 3 other ships on a card table, my dad decided he had enough and let me have it "for when I retire", which happened two years ago.  I'm about 300 hour into it and was just about to rig the masts when I found this site and your posting.  Your work has inspired me to add more details from the 1980 plans, and your photos have resolved some questions I've had (some of which are still fixable. ;>).   It's my first kit so I'm not planning to make it "museum quality" like yours.  I wanted to thank you for posting and say congratulations.

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.
