    Wonderful restoration I think the family will be very happy to have their fathers model back in prime condition.

    that's a really nice color I might have to try that one when I get to that point. The wife always has a few of those coupons

    Growing up I always thought the Old Baltimore shot tower was pretty interesting. Haven’t been in awhile but it was a cool trip as a kid

    I can never remember where I saw this but I do remember seeing a first or second rate full quarter scale presented like this. The model had just lower mast and the shrouds and ratlines placed. All of the yards and the topmasts along with all the appropriate anchors were made in complete detail and presented on the ground beside the ship. It was a very impressive display

    Happy New Year to everyone! This was my holiday season to work so I have only had a few days off in the last few weeks. Things should be getting back to normal soon. A bit late but here is the best pic I can find of the helpers.

    Love this. One of the members in my club is building this from the same monograph and it seems to be coaming along great. Thanks Greg for the link very interesting.

    So I spent Thanksgiving at my fathers house. One of the things my father has been doing for last couple years is anybody who comes over and has to leave with something from the house. I think it’s his way of getting rid of stuff without actually having to throw stuff away. As I was looking through some of the junk in the basement I can cross this. As far as I can remember this is the very first ship model ever made. I think I was seven or eight at the time. My father tells me that I got in trouble at school because I was distracted and not paying attention and apparently my teachers asked if I had any trouble concentrating. My father apparently replied he just put a ship model together all by himself. And he thinks I was about seven or eight approximately third grade or so. Obviously in the last 43 years or so the model has had some battle damage. But I thought it was interesting.

    Sounds like lots of work getting done. Just a reminder that the club meeting is on the second Saturday dec 14th this month due to holiday scheduling conflicts.

    I like these small little kits. I had the kids each help with one.
  22. MEDDO
    wonderful!

    It all fits into a small plastic box and keeps me making “progress” even when out of town

    So I was fitting plank 7 and my sleeve caught the tip and snapped it off... One of the other billets had a bunch of unused space so I traced out the shape and have been slowly shaping it to fit. Still more to do. One thing the new one is slightly thicker. The original was 1/32 (or 4/128) and the new one seems to be 5/128 or so. To get it to match will have to thin it down just a bit. Will be traveling a bunch over the holidays and am not sure if it will travel well but we will see if I can take more than the practice carvings.

    300 yards are a lot of nails

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.
