    Sweet build. Your Niagara is unsurpassed. I must get back to my Niagara build one day. Mind if I use your build log as an example? You Rock! as they say Ric

    Looking great. I have to check my build. I know that I used 3 planks up tp the sheer I see 2 wider planks. I hope I did not screw up. I will let you know. Great job so far Ric

    Jon - I just received the Kate Cory plans from the New Bedford Whaling Museum. They originated from the Old Dartmouth Historical Society. Mine are copies of copies and are hard to read in some places but very detailed I had difficulty getting the Cranes right but those plans were very clear and helped a lot.You need to send an email to: Kelly at NBWMStore@whalingmuseum.org cost is $49. Just thought it might help Ric

    I just found this build an what great work you are doing. I am IMPRESSED. and a bit jealous as well. I just started the Cutty Sark and I have a very old kit that is I believe 1976 vintage. I hope that all the parts are here. Very crude materials that are no doubt aging. It doesn't help that the plans are all in Italian and I have to try to translate each entry online. I would like to use your build log as my instructions and guidance (if you don't mind that is) Looking forward to your completion. Thanks Ric

      I have relegated my Niagara build to storage with several other builds in various states of completion. Decided that there are just so many years that one lives and as I am not a fast builder, and being 71 years old, I want to complete a build of the Cutty Sark 1/96 model from Sergal. It is a old kit pre 1980 vintage and is n ow on the ways, keel laid and all parts inventoried. I'll try to build a log

      Thanks and good luck on the Niagara

    You are moving right along with the ship. Nice job. I am still in NY and have tried my hand at scratch building a small row boat that came out quite handsome I think. Might do a build log. Not sure.

    I have the same kit that I got at an estate sale for a few dollars. Though I have completed some it is in dry dock waiting list as I now work on the Niagara by Model Shipways. Looks good to me.
  23. Ric Smith
    It surely is a complicated kit that’s for sure I wish I were at home to work on mine. I might be able to help Ric
  24. Ric Smith
    Nice work
  25. Ric Smith
    I plan to paint most if not all of the ship by hand for what I hope will be more realism ric

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.
