    First of all, Hi, I’m new to all this so if this is the wrong spot to ask this I apologize. I recently ordered the Armed Virginia Sloop by Model Shipways, and I have two questions regarding my plans on building it. I have two questions and hope someone can help me out. 1) I understand this model is based off designs used around 1770-1800 (I think), would it be reasonable to model this ship as a ship taken by pirates? I would like to make it a pirate ship, but if this is something that couldn’t have happened let me know. 2) Second question is concerning the paint scheme of it. If the answer to my first question is yes, than I assume that a pirate could paint his ship any colors he wants. But assuming the answer to that question is no, what are some other historical paint schemes this ship could of had. I love the look of the ship, but the paint job it is shown with I’m not a fan of. (I think this is right this time)

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.
