    Hello there all - my name is Saif and I am writing from Mombasa, Kenya. I am currently building a Billing Boat's USS Constitution in a 1: 100 scale and done somewhat good to the kit thus far ( my first model really) but probably those who have built Billing Boat kits the instructions provided are apparently very confusing. For instance, I am at the Mast stage - the kit has instructions to set up the Foremast, Main Mast and the Mizzen Mast, however, the drawings that I follow totally confuses me and currently stuck at the Foremast and cannot progress any further. Question - has anyone here built and COMPLETED the Billing Boat's USS CONSTITUTION and Can anyone help me through any source out there to get proper clear instructions to build the Mast for this ship. Maybe someone can get in touch with me on my WhatsApp number +254733 221 006. I will really appreciate any help or suggestions from anyone on this platform. Thank you and warm regards from the Safari Country KENYA.

    Dear Gundorph, having followed your build of the USS Constitution by Billing Boards, I noticed that you did not complete the log.

    I am currently making the same kit and need help either from you or any one on this forum to help me start the rigging on my model.

     

    Did you finish the model if so have you any photos that you can share with me? I really need to understand how this complexed subject can be attained.

     

    Best regards from Mombasa, Kenya.

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.
