Dinghy by robert952 - Midwest Models - Scale: 1:12

Several (many) years ago I determined I needed to put aside the large model of the Golden Hinde and work on my skill sets.   This model was one that I built with that in mind.

 

This is a kit model of Midwest Models Dinghy.  I read the kit was a "week-end" kit.  It took me a couple of weekends as I recall.  

 

As with most of us, real life got in the way of leisure time stuff.  So, it was quite a while until I did other modeling and still have some 'in progress' items. 

 

However, I did not 'stand still.'  Being a voracious reader, I began researching the hobby, built what I think is a decent library of books, and eventually joined the NRG in 2019.  

 

I just wanted to post this model as a starting point for my increased involvement with the NRG and MSW forum.  However, because of the knowledge gained here, I see several areas that I would do differently if I repeated the build such as seizing the rope around the outside (which is why I didn't show that view in the album).

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.
