    Thanks Guy, very little progress on CS, lost interest in it for awhile, moving on to other builds and a lot of naval book reading in the meantime. Coming to an end of my HMS Fly build (incomplete build log) but I'm happy with the result. I'll either move back to the CS or take a shot at my Blue Jacket Jefferson Davis which I have framed. I guess I have started too many builds and just have to get my act straight.

    Welcome to MSW... I suggest you read this MSW post if you haven't done so. New to ship modelling? But what do you build first? By MSW, July 19

    John, it does look like the same kit...at least based on CZ's pictures and the box art. Not only would he get the plans but any parts he will need for the restoration. Could be a great life saver down the line.

    Hi there, This may help, Model expo does sell a model of the CW Morgan probably a different scale. Being this is all new to you consider this approach. On their web site they post the instructions for the model.The instructions will give you an idea of what goes where and in what order. So you will have some understanding of your undertaking, the link is http://modelexpo-online.com/model-shipways-charles-morgan-whale-bark-1-64-scl

    What's in the box...All instructions are in Japanese so a good translator app is necessary. However, with the multiple pictures, instruction in most cases will be self explanatory. Laser and strip materials are all packed in well marked sleeves as to, part number, name, dimensions and quantity of each. In my experience with the Hacchoro model, there is very little extra strip material, I would imagine the same is true here. Measure twice cut once, for sure. As far as I can tell it looks like the outer hull is done on a skeleton frame, it is removed, and then the inside framing is done. From what I have read the ancient Egyptians built in that fashion. Sorry the files did not load in order. And there was a surprise gift enclosed as well, nice touch.

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.
