1/4":1' (1/48) scale model based on NMM and David MacGregor plans. The initial NMM plans show a single masted vessel with three deadeyes in a channel. The kit by Modeller's Dockyard uses the plans as drawn up by the late Karl Heinz Marquardt which shows two deadeyes in channels and one attached to the hull side for each mast. The plans also show yards on the foremast only. The NMM plans clearly show four deadeyes in channels per mast and simple hatches, no binnacle, fore and aft. The MacGregor plans show yards crossed for course and topsail on the foremast and yards crossed for a topsail on the main mast, which is how I have chosen to represent this boat, which may, or may not, have been built, the lines having been sent by the Admiralty to Port Jackson in 1803.

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.
