    Hi there Elijah. The other ship is my Flyer. I have a build log for it as well. I am taking a break from it to allow the completion of the Viking. I have to sew sails and furling them. A bit nervous about it

    Little change in my project progress. I need a tool organizer. So I made one.

    Thank you for your kind comments! I am trying to do my best to do some extra work and details on this ship. I think this is a fun build and adding a few details here and there really make a difference.

    Hi all, I am sorry but I am going to start this build log with a ship already 1/2 completed. The hull was completed and modified the original direction to attempt to do a 'clinker-built' hull. The results are interesting but I already know that I would do it a different way in a future attempt. Mistakes were made (a few of them) My original intention was not to have a build log but like everything in life things change. This idea was to have a quick weekend build for learning and fun. It is all that just not quick (hahaha) Here is the ship as it is today. The box.

    All blocks are up and ready for the spars. I am going to start working on sails. Sewing and furling. Since I never used a sewing machine it is going to be a lot of fun. The admiral said she would help me with this process. It may take me sometime for pics and progress reports. In the meantime, I am also going to make a build log of a viking ship which was supposed to be a weekend build started over the summer. Well, a weekend build with 3 kids who am I kidding!

    Small Update.Tonight'sproduction.
  23. captgino
    First one is up! The direction for this kit are pretty bad or none existent. So I have decided to come up with a different way to attach this spar. I am pretty satisfied with the result , but not sure this is very historial.
  24. captgino
    Pretty cool work tables. It is nice to have everything easily reachable. I am always looking for the one little thing. Great build log as well. I love these fishing ships from Brittany.

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.
