Armed Virginia Sloop - Model Shipways

Built several years ago, following Bob Hunt’s College of Model Shipbuilding Course.   My first serious effort.  
 

Built out of the box, with all kit supplied materials.  Liked cherry stain at the time, hence the color of the masts and the poop deck.

 

”Dry dock” frame and support structure stained with brown dye.

 

Case design is my own.  Tiger maple base moulding and frame, with Maple stain and wax finish.

Fine model, well-displayed. I particularly like the dry dock - much more interesting than the usual pedestals.

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.
