Looks like the real thing. You are doing a good job on building this model. If you can't make it to a craft store for dowels, Walmart may have them in their craft department.

New Member Introduction and Need Some Advice
Ryland Craze replied to Artisan's topic in New member Introductions
Hi Greg and welcome to Model Ship World. The build logs are segregated by era, such as 1851 - 1900 and 1901 to present. If you search these build log topics, you may be able to find a kit that is close to what you want. -
Michael, Thanks for the comment. I have been following your Medway build and you are doing a really nice job on building it. It is nice to see the progress you are making on this fine kit. Joe, I appreciate your comment. My goal is to finish my 1:48 scale 18th Century Longboat. I would like to have it finished so as to display at the Northeast Joint Clubs Conference on April 30th in New London, CT. I have found the smaller scale kit more difficult to build than the Medway Longboat from Syren Ship Model Company.

Congratulations on finishing this model. You should be proud of this build. I have seen many Philadelphia Gunboat models over the years and yours is just as nice as those that I have seen.

Nice save on the replacement plank. I had to make several new planks for my Medway as I had messed them up in trying to fit them to the hull. You will place this learning experience in your brain for future builds.

Hi Steve and welcome to Model Ship World. I think you will find the Model Shipways Shipwright series a good introduction into wooden ship model building. There are a lot of excellent build logs of the models in this series here on MSW. The members and staff are here to support you in your builds.

I used Tamiya Masking Tape. I painted the first two top planks on the inside. The good thing is the risers for the thwarts hide the line between the painted and unpainted portion of the planks.

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.
