    Paul Fontenoy published a two-part article about restoring an LCVP in volume 54 of the Guild's Nautical Research Journal. The article includes many informative drawings (including lines and offsets) and photos.

    Many thanks to Al Ross for posting the LCS(S) plans. Quite a while back I located some LCP(L) plans on offer on eBay, but the seller wanted a stupid high price so I didn't buy them. However, I did download the images that the seller had included in the listing. The plans are not complete, but should be sufficient when augmented by Al Ross's plans. I'm making two posts, one for each sheet of plans. The first sheet includes most of the lines and drawing and the table of offsets.

    If the Mariners Mirror volumes are still available I would like to have them.

     

    I don’t have a Pay Pal account but would be happy to mail you a check and you can send them when you have my payment.

    I realized that I can contact other upper NYS folk on MSW through the “Community” function. Here is an out-reach I am planning to send to about 35 folk as far away as the Albany area. Have any comments or suggestions.?

    Allow me to introduce our model ship group located in Rochester NY to you. We are a small group that was founded in late 2015. We have members in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Florida, and even one in Lisbon Portugal. We meet monthly and through the Zoom application we have been able to include our more distant members. You can learn more about us by visiting our web site modelshipwrightguildwny.org.
    We have located you through the “Community” drop down function on the Model Ship World forum and are reaching out to explore your possible interest and participation in a lively and talented group of modelers from all walks of life.
    Generally, sessions are structured with introductions of visitors, followed by a brief business segment and then we almost always have a central presentation topic or two ending with a show and tell of group models. The sessions usually last two hours.
    So you are invited to visit us (tune in via Zoom) this Fall and see what we are all about. You might find us interesting enough to join us on a more consistent basis. Please PM me, with your email address or cell, and I will put you on distribution for our Fall schedule.
    We will not badger you beyond this outreach if you are not interested.
    Hoping to hear from you.

    The practicum is available on CD or USB drive from the NRG for 39.95 + shipping (about $5). If I had it, I would included it with the kit. https://thenrgstore.org/products/lexington-practicum?_pos=1&_sid=5abcadbd9&_ss=r Also, search for Lexington practicum on the forum for more information. Or click this link: https://modelshipworld.com/search/?&q= lexington practicum&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy According to Kurt Van Dahm, "Clay's articles appeared in eight articles (as a practicum) in Seaways' Ships in Scale magazine during all of 2005 and early 2006 and in the"Nautical Research Journal" article -Summer, 2004; Vol 49, #2." If you have the Seaways and NRJ back issue archives then it looks like you have most, if not all, of the information.

    We are downsizing and I need to clear out some space. I have an extensive collection of ship research and modeling journals and magazines that I'd prefer to give to someone who will use them rather than dump them at the recycler's. Nautical Research Journal: A nearly complete set of volumes 45-60, missing the following issues: 45/3&4, 46/1&2, 48/1, 50/4, and 58/3. Seaways' Ships in Scale: A nearly complete set of volumes 45-60, missing the following issues: VIII-XXVIII, missing the following issues: VIII/1-3, XXVI/4-5, XXVII/1-2 & 4-6 and XXVIII/1&6. Three of the issues have been disbound (but no pages are missing) for scanning as part of the NRJ/Seaways digitalization project. Also includes Seaways III/4. Maritime Life and Traditions: I have two sets: Nos. 4-23, 26, 28-34 Nos. 15-18, 30, 31 and 34. I am giving away complete sets, NOT individual issues. Please let me know which set (or sets) you want and your zip so I can calculate shipping rates. I will take PayPal (preferred) or check.

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.
