    Has anyone ever used silkspan to make sails. I found this excellent video that suggest this is a good material to use.

    The liquid clamp i am referring to is CA. Once you hold a piece of wood against another and put some CA glue it will bond in a few seconds.

    Massime There are some general videos and three practiums if you go to Vimeo and search HMS Granado you shoulf get all 47 videos on the build. for the Swan class which is still under construction search HMS Thorm and for the America search America, 1851

    I am constantly looking for videos that either tell a story about models or show me how models are built. Thats why i am obsessed with recording and sharing my builds in the hope of sharing my limited knowledge with others and so encouraging the craft to grow. In trinidad i am yet to find anyone who builds wooden models. So videos are my answer to the problem.

    On Vimeo just use my name Kevin Kenny or search by the ships name. There is a set on HMS Granado, HMS Thorn a “Swan” class and America 1852 along with some general videos on tools etc

    This is the scratch built version of the kit. I am in touch with the Great Britton Trust who have 4 plans done, 2 by Campbell and 2 by Geisendorfer and am hoping they will agree to send me digital copies. The main change to the scratch built boat is the change of the grating to a second hatch opening. The bow also shows a access hatch. This is reflected in some of the historical paintaings while in others it is not shown.

    This is the kit layout of the boat based on the plan.

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.
