    Oh dear! A challenge then.

    Right. There's pro's and cons. I think I will put them on. Also for the extra rigging. I looked up the President. Looks like a frigate to me. It doesn't have a high difficulty rating and is quite cheap (€92), but the rigging looks complex to me. Especially compared to the Swift. But it looks really nice. I wonder what quality the instructions/manual are, extensive and highly detailed (step by step) or sparse (figure it out yourself-style)? I hope you will start log here so I can enjoy you building her. My next model will be the lady Nelson and I also have the frigate Hermione ( I have visited the real one in France) waiting for me. But by then I hope to be more experienced.

    Oh, well done! Beautiful! I'm still trying to work out how to get the chainplates and lower deadeyes fixed. Your build is a very nice example to me. Thanks! Are you going to rig the sails as well? And do you have any idea what your next build will be?

    I hope the weather has improved over at your place, because I'm eagerly awaiting the next steps of your build. I'm building her myself and your logs are a big help to me.
  5. Dutchman
    Yes, me too. Because the Lady Nelson will be my next build ( Swift 1805 being my first) and I find your log very helpful.

    Looking really good! You're doing a better job than I'm doing ( it's my first build) . I've almost finished the deck furniture, so you're a few steps ahead of me (which is very helpfull to me). I'm really enjoying your log, so please keep posting 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.
