    Tom- The pictures are great! Amazing detail work. They'll be a great help. Thanks again. Bob

    Thanks for that Tom. I'll have a look and will probably have a good few questions before I put glue to wood. -Bob-

    Just checking in. I'm busy going through Anatomy of the Beagle and other sources, checking measurements, finishing inventory and arranging the work station. My plan is to use the Mamoli instructions as a base line and use outside references to fill in the blanks. I think the only way to get 100% accuracy's to build from scratch. For my first one, I'll be happy to have it look something like a boat.

    The instructions and parts inventory are printed right on the plans (such as they are) in a size that can’t be read with the naked eye. So, with magnifying glass in hand I’m in the act of transcribing or scanning all of them, translating the Italian as I go. It’s a major pain, but I’ll be thankful for it down the road. (NB: If anyone out there wants to try the same model, I’d be more than happy to share these with you.) Doing this forces me to meticulously go over the entire build before I glue the first frame; also, if an instruction’s unclear, I go through the plans and clarify the instructi

    Alistair- Anatomy's on the way. I'll pick up Mr. Darwin's Shooter, and a new copy of The Voyage of the Beagle, next week. Cheers, Bob

    G’day all- I thought I’d start off with photos of the end product and my workstation. I really should have gotten into this hobby when we were in NZ with three spare rooms and a huge garage, though this should serve. My commentary may get a bit wordy, but I’m really keen on documenting everything, because I’m sure by the time I start my second model I will have totally forgotten the start of this one. So far I’ve broken out all the laser-cut pieces, being sure to first cut, at least partially, through the remaining connections from both sides with my X-acto, so as not to splinter the

    Nothing to post yet, I just wanted to set up the topic so it'll be ready when I am, probably in the next day or two.

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.
