    Not counting all the cheapo's, surgical cast-offs, and those intended to groom fingers, I have several intended for use in entomology. Can't remember where I got them, but they are my best.

    Derek, I don't think you can go wrong with Historic Ship Models by Wolfram zu Mondfeld.
  3. John Cheevers
    I like it. A great way to show off your woodworking and joinery skills. The case should compliment the model.

    Here is a photograph I took of Fair America in Preble hall back in 2015. As you can see hte camera and the photographer have a lot to be desired. Hopefully you can trace the rigging paths.

    If you want to get started in working with wood and building a wooden ship model, I recommend you build something like a Chesapeake Bay small craft. If the model of the Chesapeake Bay flattie is still available, I would start there. Another choice would be a San Francisco scow schooner. You don't want to overwhelm yourself in learning to work with wood while you're learning all those shippy things like fairing.

    Excellent build! Your new bench top is super, any chance you'll swing the camera and show the rest of your shop? Thanks for letting me follow along.

    The build is superb! I like the clean shop; but if you're like me, you won't be able to find anything for a while.
  21. John Cheevers
    Very nice work!
  22. John Cheevers
    Nice build! Looks like you could take it out today.

    Best hull planking i've seen in a very long time. It's an absolute joy to study your build--thanks!

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.
