    I have been making some bits of progress on my lobster smack. The upper planks are done and the glue is drying now on the first side lower plank. Had to do some creative clamping for the bottom plank - I hope it holds. I spent lots of time fairing the hull, so I hope it comes out good. It is a shapely thing. Makes me want a full size one to sail in! Thanks for checking in and please feel free to add comments and suggestions. I got a pic of the progress for ya.

    Got a few pix here of my start on the lobster smack. I'm finding being patient while the glue dries to be the hardest part so far Me and super glue have never got along very well, and this model build is no exception. The stuff sticks my fingers together no problem but the actual piece I'm trying to glue together is questionable. I tried to paint the cockpit sole to resemble weathered teak.

    Hello and welcome to my first build log. I have just received the Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack and I have started building already. I spent more on supplies to build the thing than the kit costs, but I guess that's the way it goes. I started with an inexpensive kit so if it doesn't go so well I wont be out too much. I do have high hopes, however. My wife is already expecting to display it in her curio cabinet, so I better do a respectable job! Just getting my log started here now and will add some pix of the progress shortly. I'm looking forward to posting the progress and hopefully learning some tricks of the trade from your comments, suggestions, etc. I hope you all enjoy. Tim

    Your lobster smack came out really nice. I appreciated your thread as it was an out of the box build without any added complications. Just what I needed to see as I am building my very first model, the lobster smack also, right now. Tim

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.
