Scratch built at 3/4"=1' to lines in Howard Chapelle's "American Small Sailing Craft" (fig. 105). These were built and used around the Bay by immigrants from Southern Italy in the late 19th Century/early 20th.

Love it!  You really captured the look of these boats, and great colors too!

Thank you!  It's a funny thing about that blue. . . Chapelle writes "The decks were painted yellow, green, or with the hard unpleasant blue used in some Mediterranean boats."  The shade I chose is quite unpleasant to my eyes, but gosh it sure works when on the water with the sun out.

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.
