BobF - spectacular build!!!! I want to thank Tigersteve for mentioning your build and he was correct to say it was one of the best. I purchased this kit for my first POF build but, after doing some research, I realized that I need to improve my skills before I tackle this. Thank you for posting this one and Congratulations!!!

Jfinan - I think you've got the hang of it and this is the spot for your build photos. Keep up with the good work and I'm watching your build. I'm almost 2 years out now on my 1:96 Connie by Revell but also working on a Bluenose that's almost complete. Take your time and don't be afraid to ask questions or for advice. Someone in here will come to your rescue. Other modelers have helped me along my path. Smooth sailing and look forward to many more photos. Cheers!

Welcome GTMIKE - It's good to see another 'Georgian' in here LOL I'm located in the Atlanta Metro area and started modeling when I arrived here in 2011. I'm fairly new to be giving any advice, but I looked up your kit and it looks like it could be a nice start. Minimal rigging and you get experience in planking a bulkhead rather than a frame. I am finishing up on my 1st wooden kit which came with a solid hull but involved a little more rigging. As far as ship terminology, I would look up a name or term on google for an answer, but the advantage of sites like this one is, there is always someone to help point a way or answer one's questions. Which ever model you decide to build as your first kit, enjoy what you are doing and take your time. Good adventures lie ahead for you I'm sure. Cheers!

Welcome! What a wonderful looking workshop

I know your ordeals with having pets Our cat, properly named Monster, is a curious soul and likes to sit at the end of my work table and occasionally sticks a paw out to help. I walked away to answer the phone and when I returned, he had chewed thru several pieces of wood strips. I won't even go into thread!!! Congrats on finishing your Bluenose and will be watching this build take shape.

Welcome !!! Like so many that have already said, this site has great information and tips in here from many talented people on modeling a ship. Having a good sense of humor sure comes in handy when things take a turn! Enjoy and have fun

Nat - sorry I can't help out with the plans but sure looking forward to watching your Connie come together I've been working on a Bluenose by Scientific. Maybe you can follow instructions by looking at a Revell Connie build in one of the websites if you cannot find Scientific plans. I also referred to a Bluenose practicum to help me along with details on my build. Please post some pics of your work - Cheers!!!

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.
