    Chesapeake Bay Bugeye by East Ender - Wye River Models - 1/4 scale

    The proportions look off and it appears stubby.   Compare the picture on WRM’s website with John Earl’s model.

    Yes, no two look alike as seen on this page of Ray Rodgers’ plans.  Still….

    Some of their models are quite realistic. I’ve built one (drake tail) and plan to build others.  Check out MSW build logs before you buy and build a kit as some have a few issues, many of which are minor. 
     

    I have the buy boat kit and started it but I’m either not going to finish it or will have to rework it.  It’s dimensions make the model look weird.  I also have the core sound sink netter kit and will modify it so the model looks more like actual boats. 
     

    John Earl built a Chesapeake crab scraping boat based on Wye River’s plans and the resulting model looks very realistic.   His build is illustrated on his website.  http://modelboatyard.com/crab_scrape1.html

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.
