    Clare I have Google translate and planned on using it. I also understand there is a person in a shop here who can help with the translation if I have a problem.

    Thanks Clare, for some strange reason I knew I would here from you (can't imagine why). I got Morikawa-san's email about the new site and sale a few days back. Well I could not resist the temptation and ordered one. Looks simple but...? I just needed a change from heavily detailed models and the simple elegant lines just fit the bill. I don't like posting builds but I'll keep you up to date when the build starts. By the way your long boat is very fine looking and the research very informative. Regards

    Hi all, I'm thinking about doing this project. I was very pleased with a prior Woody Joe kit and was wondering if anyone has done this kit. I need a change from from rigging 18th century ships. https://zootoyz.jp/contents/en-us/p1657_Woody_JOE_Khufu_ship__The_first_Solar_Boat_Wooden_Ship_Model.html Thanks for the input.

    Hi Clare, thanks for the compliment. At present I have two builds in various stages of rigging/completion and four on the shelf in the box, one in the box is Chuck's Royal Barge. Rigging is starting to become a bit problematic as I'm not as steady as I was, so moving to less complicated rigged ships opens a new door for me. I'd love to do another Woody Joe, really enjoyed the simplicity of the build both in design of the kit and the quality of materials. Have you translated any more of the Woody Joe instructions? Regards, Mark

    Hi, this was a fast build so there are no building notes. Fun build, great picture plans in Japanese and notes English translation from Clare Hess's blog on Japanese models. I owe him a very big thank you. The kit itself has wonder Japanese cypress and magnolia. Laser cut pieces and laser indication lines for matching and sanding. Warning there is only enough wood stock for completing the kit, so measure 2x before cutting .

    Deaz, there are 2 clubs in the Phoenix metro area. I'm in Northeastern Phoenix, there is one South in Sun Lakes (smaller group) with good solid experience and the other is in Surprise/Peoria also solid experience. Both groups share and mentor and welcome new folks of all capabilities. It may be worth your while to drop by. Drop me a PM for details.

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.
