Lackawanna Bluejacket 1/8”

One of my first projects, originally built about 8 years ago, and rebuilt and cased during 2019.

 

An enjoyable kit to build, and a great first project.  Over time decided it needed to be refurbished because some original work was kind of shabby.  Replaced the original scribbled deck with Bluejacket glued up decking.  Also reworked the rails, refreshed the paint, particularly making the waterline straight along the bow.  Early on my waterlines were a sort of smile, rising at the bow and stern.

 

Case is of my design and construction; material is maple and tiger maple finished with Old Masters Maple stain and a wax finish coat.

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.
