    Good Luck Nick. As you see by the posted photos, I made some changes on my build from the plan instructions. The lip overhang on the roof structure, the port holes and the board&bead in the stern forward of the combing. I also nixed the sails, but used a line to identify their outline. If you want pictures of specific areas, let me know and I'll post them. If you want a long conversation and some mentoring, a call may work best. 5188773038

    I assume you are referring to the canoe. I did not diverge from the instructions. Just be careful on the laying of planks, keeping in mind that it's easier to sand the outside of the hull then the inside to knock down the plank edges. The interior ribs are installed after the hull is constructed. I would have added 50 percent more so the spacing is closer if I was going to build again. The exterior rub rail is a challenge to make the end bends.  I tapered them a bit after steam bending them close. I think I also changed out the thwarts and seats for mahogany. Stray can pain was easy and perfect. The build goes very fast. good luck.

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.
