    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 to MSW! I definitely like seeing the working boats this one seems like a nice kit to cut your teeth on

    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 looks like a very nice sized project. A little bit at a time and it will be done in no time Looks like it would take forever Ravensburger The Bombardment of Algiers 9000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

    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.

    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 a great start. I do like this ship and will be following along

    Looks like a nice little book there

    I have just received mine and although I have only scratched the surface it looks like an excellent book and I’m looking forward to spending much much more time with it

    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
  13. MEDDO
    Very nice. I really like seeing these other type of boats. Will definitely follow along
  14. MEDDO

    Welcome! Looks like a nice little project there. Definitely as Mark says above, look into the “restoration“ build logs here on the site as they do have a lot of great information

    Looking really good. That bending jig certainly helps quite a bit.
  19. MEDDO
    Nice progress! I have thought this on numerous occasions 😁

    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.

    The base is starting to look great it’s gonna be a wonderful addition
  22. MEDDO
    That second link has similar single hole deadeye

    Welcome. Resurrecting a build is a great way to get back into the swing of things. Looking forward to seeing your progress
  24. MEDDO
    Welcome. Definitely check our paper section mentioned above. Lots of great examples there

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.
