    Hi Bud and welcome to Model Ship World. We were all absolute beginners at one time. When I started in this hobby, there was no MSW. It is a good idea to start a build log on your Endeavor. If you have any questions about your build, just ask and you will receive answers from the membership.

    Bradley, You look like you are having a lot of fun building these two models. I am glad you started a build log on these kits as they can be a great introduction into building wooden ship models. You could not have a better teacher than David Antscherl.
  17. Ryland Craze
    Nice job on your deck. The Winchelsea is bringing out the best of the builders.
  18. Ryland Craze
    You should be happy. You have done a good job on building your Fife.

    Hi Mark and welcome to Model Ship World. You have received some good advice on selecting your first ship model. If you are a complete beginner, you may want to check out this ship model kit: This model is designed for the first time modeler and you can get a version that includes all of the tools and supplies needed to complete the model.
  24. Ryland Craze
    You do not want to over bevel the edge of the planks as gaps could develop when you sand the hull. Also, the plank edges will be seen on the interior of the hull, so you want the edges to be tight.
  25. Ryland Craze
    Your Cheerful hull is a work of art. Congratulations on getting to this part of the build.
  26. Ryland Craze
    Your chain plates look nice. I also struggle with blackening parts. You have to really have the parts clean and any protective covering has to be removed.

    I purchased my Kunz miniature plane from Woodcraft many years ago. I did a Google search and came up with this: https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/kunzpalmplanewithouthandle.aspx There are other miniature planes that are much nicer, such as the Lie-Nielsen, but my Kunz does the job. It is based on the old Stanley 101 block plane. I am glad to see your progress on your Longboat. I hope to start rigging mine today.
  28. Ryland Craze
    The repair and fairing look good. I know you are looking forward to moving on with the build.
  29. Ryland Craze
    That is a nice looking model. I am glad that Model Shipways is producing a kit for first time builders. You could not have a better teacher than David Antscherl, the designer of this kit. The description of this kit states it is the first in a series of progressive model tutorials. This is definitely what a new builder needs to improve their skills. So many new builders come into this hobby, get frustrated with their build and leave, never to come back. This series of kits should give them the confidence to complete their models and move on to more complicated ship models.

    You are doing a nice job on your Atlantic. It looks like the contact cement was the right choice for the scribed deck.
  31. Ryland Craze
    You are off to a good start on your Beagle. It is never too late to start a build log. I see that there are 131 videos on YouTube of building this model. Here is the link to these videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?reload=9&list=PLrPwa5r7zKUzDlhkDF4ztrTc2ag_wVD_a

    Welcome to Model Ship World Lars. The OcCre kits build into fine models. I am glad your son "tricked" you into this hobby and that he shows an interest in your work. I will be checking out your HMS Beagle build log.

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.
