    Ah heck....I think I'll just have you build my next one. BTW.....was everything in the kit laser cut? I really want to make use of my new Byrnes saw, so I just ordered the Hannah. However, looking at what you've done, I'm wondering if I shouldn't try this ship. Are you by chance an engineer by trade?

    This is an awesome build log! Thanks so much for reposting. So what were the final finished you chose for the hull and wale? Also, I know you used pear for the wale, but what other types of wood did you use in the build so far? Great job...can't wait to follow your progress.

    Let's get this discussed again. I, personally, don't like the looks of a copper hull on a model (although Blue Ensign's Pickle caught my eye). Also, I love the look of wood on the hull. I realize by not coppering you are losing some authenticity. What say you mates?

    Masterful job!! The Pickle is on my waiting to start kit shelf. I know I will be referring to this log often when I start her. I'm still thinking of not coppering the hull and going with something other than the stock walnut for the second planking. I love the look of wood, and have just not been a coppering guy. That being said, your coppering job is great. Thanks for sharing.

    I've been using CA, but I think it looks lousy when it dries, especially on black rigging. Anyone use something else?

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.
