This was an enjoyable model to build and sits on our mantle most of the time.  The Arnanes is based on the actual fishing smack "Johanna" built in 1884 at the James Collins Hoad shipyard in Rye England.  The Johanna has been restored and still sails!  Photos of the ship can be found online.  I made many wooden parts, and used wooden blocks and other such wooden and metal parts, in lieu of the plastic parts that came with the kit.  Other modifications included rigging customization based on ships of the time and based on looking at photos of the actual ship.  I built the model in 2015, and in 2018 it decided to take flight off the mantle; she was soundly built and her tight lines and stout hull survived the wreck well, and she is back up on the mantle!  -Jason

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.
