  23. threebs started following USS Constitution by threebs - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - 1/8" scale
  24. threebs
    This is the Blue Jacket kit #1018. I am building it for a friend who got it from his uncle who passed away in 2008. Better than 2/3rd's of the kit parts have been lost over time. So, I am only using the hull. Everything else will be/is scratch built. The stern of the hull was not correct so I had to re shape it. This was NOT an attempt to plank the hull!
  25. threebs
    Bow and hull steps on the Pennsylvania are done.
  26. threebs
    Progress on the Pennsylvania's bow. The figurehead and scroll work were carved months ago and were used in a display at a local museum. So, the most time consuming portion of this was already done. That is why this part seems to be going so quickly.

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.
