      I took a break from the Perry to research what rigghing lines that can be added that are not included in the Bluejacket instructions, such as  the bunt and lift lines.  

      I was interrupted by the chance to build a Swift Pilot Boat of 1805 which, I won at the Northeast Show. 

      As a member of the USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild (USSCMSG), I won this 1/50th scale kit at the 2025 Northeast Joint Conference, donated by the New Jersey Model Ship Club.  I set aside this model until, at a recent meeting of our Guild, I saw an article on Building the Swift pilot boat of 1805 by Gilbert McArdel in the Ship Modelers Handbook, Spring 2025.  This inspired me to build the Swift, which I completed.

      Returning to the Perry, while stepping the masts I realized 40 more belaying pins,  With the generosity of fellow Guild member, Peter Czulak he used a Elegoo Mars 5 ultra desktop 3D printer image.jpeg.e60f3de9aaa27c3ad5f8760e040207d1.jpegto make the extra belaying pins image.jpeg.bd0576a3665d6796d3c6d0d515012d24.jpegneeded for this 1/8th model Bluejacket USS Perry model image.png.412187ba12e9ff21aad7e5132cd417f4.png.  image.jpeg.f2bf94b309a4500d4127e7b3be8e04e8.jpegimage.png.22ee30e74426bcb3dea72a49867626cf.pngimage.jpeg.b7b3b80f79eb457573969ef583aa612e.jpegimage.jpeg.4eea17d51b6efb07010f6b794f493ebf.jpegNow back to the modelimage.jpeg.7afe1516af9c3454278d2dd1eccc3cc2.jpeg image.jpeg.9da52390857d14a9ef521287d10c98f5.jpeg

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.
