    I have the model shipways kit of the Fair american. I would like to build it as a plank on frame instead of a POB. I would also like to show some of the interior of the ship. I have been researching different ship; techniques; sites ;books and the like. I built this ship many years ago as a POB and it turned out fairly well. I am also wanting to know how one would use the sheer and profile plans to increase the number of frames along the keel. I know that the main frames go from the perpendiculars thes the bow are cant frames I like 17th18th century warship mostly however i also like other ships like junks viking and other unusual ships. The drawings do show the station lines but no room and space. I am trying to learn how to draw the hull frames using the sheer profile and halfbrethd drwaings. I know that it would be alot of work to build a miodel the way the real ship was built ,however,I think it would be worth the effort. I appreciate all of your thoughts.

    I am wanting to build a scratch built ship and woul like to know how to determine the correct number of frames I would need to make. I have the sheer half bredth and body plans but I know that those will not be enough as I would like to leave one side so I could show the interior of the ship. I am new to this form but havebeen building ship for a fe years mostly POB and kits. Woulld like to build the next one like it was orginally build any help with drawing the frames and determining how many would be a great help. Thank you.

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.
