    I'v finished up the Booth Bay lobster boat exterior. Need to start on the electronics Ordered a Pro Boat speed control that hasn't arrived yet , I will use 7.2 NIMH battery for power & a Hobby King 2.4 Ghz 6 channel transmitter . After the electronic are in I'll have to wait for warmer weather as It's gotten a little chilly here in Ontario Canada most ponds are frozen now.

    This model boat came with Balsa wood that was to be used for the hull then that needed to be fiberglassed .I think balsa wood should be used on model airplanes not boats So had some Bass wood sheets that I cut to use on the hull and I'll epoxy later P/S that nasty white stuff is our first snow fall & I'm sure we'll get a lot more

    Building model boats from kits my seem easy but it can be challenging sometimes. A example is installation of the Chine Logs & the rudder parts After gluing the Balsa chine in place they need to be shaped to the ribs this is a very difficult step as these balsa strips have to mate properly with side of hull . Next is the Rudder installation I like to use brass for the rudder & silver solder to rudder shaft . after I used parts from kit found that rudder arm wouldn't fit properly on shaft so made another one that had a larger brass rod & tube for shaft also needed to be larger. Next step for another day is Hull planking .

    My river boat is quite old I had it in the basement for about 20 years I started to build it then got into R/C models around 1990 built the Sequin ( Midwest wood Kit ) The prefab parts where fairly basic and I had no issues with them Yours is looking great also I'll check back every so often on your progress please don't do what I did put it away for 20 years keep at it Good Luck Garth P.

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.
