    Wow! A man of action! Way to put your money where your mouth is! I wish I had the type of space some of you guys have out there. Nice work.

    I'm looking forward to following your lead. I'm just starting the same build. This is my first, perhaps a bit above my skill level, but I'm confident I will stay the course. Cheers! -Andy

    FWIW, I agree, I've worked with fiberglass in the past and it's not great for detailed applications. The fibers are actually quite long and large, you can use finer material but it would probably get messy. Anyhow, by the time you get a layer of resin mixed and applied thick enough to hide the fibers you will end up with a 2-4mm thick coat. I would like to see what you end up doing if you end up using wood filler.

    Terrific attention to details! After I get some experience I intend to refurbish and add some details to the Morgan my grandfather built. I will bookmark this thread as a guide for sure! I trust everyone has seen the pictures from Mystic Seaport regarding the Morgans 38th voyage. That ship is breathtakingly magnificent! I visited Mystic a couple of summers ago during her restoration. I was not a hobbyist then so I don't have any useful photos for you unfortunately. It breaks my heart that I don't have the time, money or resources to see her set sail this summer. I hope anyone who has the opprotunity will go. The Morgan is in New Bedford this weekend through the 4th! Excellent work, thank you for sharing this build. From Mysic Seaport's FB page:

    !!!!! This idea just popped into my head and I googled it..... mother of god! The possibilities are endless! Glad to see somebody is taking the bull by the horns. I think I have a future in this endeavor as well

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.
