    I did not follow the whole scratch build thread (I figured it was over my head) so thanks very much. I am learning a lot here. I am headed to DC next week for business, will try to sneak in a visit to the prototype if time permits and educate myself further.

    Chuck - I'm very new to this hobby and this forum, but I had to chime in about the cookstove. I have the kit (haven't started it yet) and noticed both in the plans and some pictures the stove is in the forward cockpit under the mast brace. But the Smithsonian pictures seem to show a stove immediately to the right of the port nine-pounder, with a wall of bricks against the ceiling planks. See the 3-D (http://americanhistory.si.edu/exhibitions/gunboat-philadelphia) or one of your own pictures from post #5 in your scratchbuild: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/5721-gunboat-philadelphia-by-chuck-seiler-scale-148-1776-scratch-from-ms-plans/?p=165455 So I've been following your build and was wondering what your approach would be here. - John

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.
