Amati Swedish Gunboat, 1777, by catopower

Recently completed model based on a small, inexpensive kit from Amati. Roughly 1:48 scale, this model was part of a "Group Build" where 5 ship modelers all worked on their own kit and met to discuss issues and solutions. Partly, this was an attempt to get beginning ship modelers more involved. Mine is the second one completed by the group. 

 

I built this kit mostly out of the box, though I did use rigging line from Syren Ship Model Company. Still, I couldn't help myself and made a few minor modifications based on information found on the Internet, including a photo of a Swedish museum model.

 

It was a fun and simple project for the most part, and it only takes up a very small amount of shelf space!

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.
