Update: All modeling work at Casa de Coyle has temporarily been grounded, as we have new addition to the family. Keeva is a ten-week-old Cavapoo, and despite her innocuous look in this photo, she is much like any other puppy at this 'terrible twos' stage -- she needs lots of training and socializing. It will be quite awhile before she can be crated long enough to get some modeling time in, and longer before she will be trusted enough to have free rein in the house. So, for now, models are in a wait-and-see holding pattern. Cheers!

Very convincing furled sails! (P.S. I always have mixed feelings when I see a 'sailing ship' motoring along with all her sails furled.)

The hull lines and rig are not beyond the reach of a motivated beginner. The only reservation I would have is the scale -- some modelers find 1/100 to be a challenge when working in wood. Also, some details are really hard to pull off with scale fidelity at anything smaller than about 1/64, e.g. gun tackles. It depends in part on how much detail you want to incorporate. In my case, I have done gun tackles at 1/64 (tedious, but doable), but I do not plan to add them to the 1/72 scale build I have in my queue, as the necessary blocks would simply be too small.

I figured as much, but are you sure there isn't a nod to Bob Seger in there as well? 😉

Looking for advice on starting a build log
ccoyle replied to Ken_2's topic in New member Introductions
Just follow the directions here. The directions are pinned in each build log category. Cheers! -
Nice job on your first model! Nothing breeds success like success.

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Arizona because I was born there (the state, that is) and because I built the ancient Revell box-scale kit as a kid. Good luck on your project!

This one is looking pretty impressive, both size-wise and finish-wise.

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.
