    Well, I am surprised Juhu and Mr. Blue jacket, since I ran across that same plan of the USRC LOUISIANA and it looks just like the kit plans. Thanks for the input folks.

    Stern template worked out pretty well.

    Guy, here is what am talking about. Notice that I already over sanded the bow a bit, trying to fit it to the template.

    Hi Juhu, you are spot on. Funny that Bluejacket did not identify the specific class, but based on the plans, I agree that she must be the Alabama class.

    Hull after about 2 hours with 80 grit sandpaper. It comes about 80 percent shaped.

    I believe this is an Alabama class Revenue Cutter circa 1819. Blue jacket was pretty vague on the origin. I was first concerned about the hull since it seemed to have very little room to shape. As I began working it, though, it is coming along nicely. The kit has well-drawn plans that accompany a nice instruction manual. I have never attempted a wooden ship model and have already emailed Nic at Blue jacket a couple of dumb questions. He has been great about responding and has sent photos for clarity.

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.
