    This is a wonderful model and a realistic diorama as well! Great job!

     

    I was stationed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Storis out of Kodiak, Alaska, for 1 1/2 years in 1966-67. She was an auxiliary icebreaker so we only broke moderately thick ice at times and did not venture into the heavy pack ice like the Burton Island was capable of. After being reassigned to Long Beach, California, in the fall of 1967, the Burton Island was getting ready to leave for Antartica and I almost got sent to go with her which was fine with me since the Beach Boys were singing about California Girls and I was looking forward to meeting some!

    Thank you so much for the information, Bastaco56! That's very kind of you.

     

    I would love to try and scratch build the Pen Duick someday if I can ever find some good plans. Until then, I'll do the best I can with the Artesania Latina model although it is not as authentic as I would like it to be.

     

    Best regards,

    Bob

    Thanks Bob, I have used the plan from an french magazine called MRB and it was in no 379. I had to make some corrections and modifications especially on the deck because there was some mistakes. I also used some photos and I have the chance to live 15 minutes away from Pen Duick harbour.

    Thanks Bastaco56. Do you know if the plans from MRB 379 are available anywhere? I would love to get a set of those plans. What are the dimensions of your model and what woods did you use for the deck and hatches?

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.
