    Howdy camper! Welcome to this site.

    Welcome aboard Lou! I just started working with wooden ships instead of plastic. Good ventures on your lanikai.

    Stumbled on this regarding nibbing. A tad long-winded but it may be helpful.

    Steve - are these the sizes of wood strips that are used in the kit? It looks like you ordered 5 strips of each size, is this correct? I ordered this kit as my 1st attempt at a POF kit. Your build of the 21' long boat looks outstanding! I saved your builds as future reference.

    Andrew - your ship is looking very nice and I love your little helper, Kelly! My helper is an orange tabby named Monster.

    Court fines you $100 for falling asleep at the wheel. The boat is coming along nicely!

    Wow! Compliments to the chef on this build!

    Andrew - your ship is taking on a great look. The scored wood decking looks good and I like the warmer color of stain for contrast.

    I'm so very sorry about your accident and that I just stumbled across the post. I hope your therapy is going well and helping your recovery. Take care and looking forward to seeing your work move along!

    Your craftsmanship is outstanding on this build! Sorry for your set back but glad to see you are continuing on. I'm trying to pick up some pointers on detailing from watching your build. Thank you for sharing these photos and information!

    O.K. that explains that tab! I built my ship supports from a design I have seen used on other builds. I planned to put LED lights in and wanted something that could hide my wiring. Here's a pic of my stand. I do not think I'll incorporate the nameplate for my build. I guess that's why I couldn't figure out why that tab was there - I didn't read through the directions for stand application.

    Racer2000 - it's coming along nicely. Someone mentioned to me about that little square tab that's located near the keel's center line. Just a thought: I was told it's not part of the ship's design but an injection tab of some sort. I removed mine and used putty to fill in cracks or seams along the keel and touched up with my paint. yYou might want to look into this. Keep up the great work - Cheers!

    That wheel is so tiny and my knowledge on fabricating is pretty thin. Not sure if you could substitute the tips of a toothpick for a handle or not.? Or cut a small piece off of the straight stem from an eye pin, then place that towards the deck as you mentioned. I think a lot of people have had issues with the gap between hull and decks. I have a small gap - I may try and run a small piece of styrene strip along gap to cover over. You've now got a head start on me at this point. I'm trying to add small styrene strips between each gun port with eyebolts for my gun tackle. I needed a break and turned my attention to an old Scientific wooden kit of the Bluenose. Can't wait to see some pictures on where you are at on this build. Cheers!

    Cheers and welcome!

    Welcome aboard! It's been many years since I visited Old Town - I had a college friend who lived in Sacramento. I hope all of the rain and flooding did not effect your area. All the more reason to build a boat/ship!

    Welcome and good adventures in your future projects!

    Great attention to detail. Fine job!!!

    Hello Ginger - I just picked up this kit as my 2nd wooden build before I try my hand at a POB kit. I'm trying to finish up my 1st wooden kit on an old Scientific Bluenose kit. I'm going to tag along and follow your build for some pointers. As for your comment about pins, I used 2mm brass eye pins from HobbyLobby for both eye bolts and also as pins to secure my rudder to the hull. They can be cut with ordinary scissors. You may need to purchase some micro drill bits for modeling, if you do not already have them on hand. Smooth sailing on your build!

    Frankie Day - Compliments to the chef on this one. Not only the ship and deck but the rigging is Fantastic!!! Your time was well spent. Thank you for sharing this treasure.

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.
