Yes definitely read about the banned kit manufacturers. For the Royal Caroline there is a Mantua-Panart kit at 1:47 scale although that is a very hefty investment for a first build

Welcome Andrew! Would love to see your progress in a build log

Welcome to the forum! That room looks really nice. Still trying to figure out what that second picture is. Definitely starting a smaller less advanced project is always a good idea to see if you enjoy shipbuilding. Royal Caroline and the Mercury are wonderful ships however some people may find them a little bit much as their first project. Although I have been exceptional craftsmen who can easily accomplish such a complex project on the first try

That planking looks fantastic. I very much enjoy your explanations and I would love to see exactly how you ripped planks. I was thinking that I would probably start practicing soon on some blanks. I’ve never tried to rip planks from the left of the blade before. I might see if I can build a proper jig/spacer/attachment for that. It’s never too much I always love seeing how people do things and think problems through.

HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56
MEDDO replied to matiz's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Looks like a great start to another wonderful project. I do like the lines of Euryalus. -
Glad to have you aboard! Looking forward to your build log. Ask lots of questions and look around at all the wonderful information available.

Looks like you are doing really well there. Have you thought ahead to how you are going to finally display the ship? Now might be a good time to add any hardware if you are going with pedestals. If you are going with the cradle then no problem

Welcome to the Forum! You’ll find plenty of helpful people here. Please start a blog blog when you can One issue with the search is you will find all posts which mention Beagle in them. To make it easier to find build logs you can use the tags. Once you find a particular build log you can click on the tag at the top of the build named Beagle and it will bring up every build log we have for the ship without all the other topics which may have mentioned it.

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.
