    Frank, glad to see your up and running in the new house. Can’t wait to see your progress. Hopefully you will finish the model so it can be shown if the Guild has a 2022 show. All my best! Tim

    A POF kit would be great for the modeling community. Your models teach so much. Just reading what you do are some of the best lessons out there. You and Tom Laurie are some of the best teachers out there. Tim Murphy

    You know, I thought that we had a great show. I can not believe that some Jerk would have done this. What a disappointment! I am very sorry that this happened. Tim Murphy

    Peter, very good to see your post. Looking forward for your next progress on your ship. Your hull work on Fair America is so clean and crisp. It always amazes me. By the way, what are the paint colors that you used? The colors look so correct for this period ship. Take care, and all my best! Tim Murphy

    Frank, this build is the best model that you have ever done, by far! This is better than Vasa and I thought that was great. The build is clean, crisp and neat. The colors are bright and neat. I hope that you can bring this to the Conference, October 2nd! Question? What brand is the red paint? It looks as if it is a good solid color with little transparency. Tim Murphy

    Ryland, After seeing your build and Tom's Sail instructions I have started the boat again. The first one was a complete mess! How did you glue the the planks to the frame? The planking looks so good! Tim Murphy

    I am very pleased that you and your model will be there. If we have models like yours on display we will have a great show. Tim

    Please, who cares whether this is the correct rig or not! This is a damm fine model that I could never do. I admire Druxey’s skill that is the top of the hobby. Lets not over analyze this model to death. It is a great piece of building! Tim

    Gary, the Northeast Ship Model Conference will be held this October 2nd, Saturday 2021 at the Port 'N' Starboard Banquet center, New London,CT. It would be a real treat to see your Stonington Trawler at this show. It is one of the finest models that i have ever seen and should be showed. It you are interested please note the web site address (www.usscmsg.org/nsmc). I hope to see you there. Tim Murphy

    It looks very good and modelers will use it for other sail models of this period. It does not look rough! It’s quite presentable. One question, why is it on the main deck? Should it not be on the lower berthing deck?

    Sorry, To say the only piece of equipment that I have is Byrnes saw. No drill press or milling machine. The saw was expensive enough.

    I was always a fan of Horatio Hornblower mini series. I hope this will be as good I am in!

    Your build shows your skill and how good a kit Chris at Vanguard has made! Bravo Zulu! Tim

    Toni, thank you very much for a very interesting project. Tim

    The worst blades are E-xato blades. Your lucky if they hold a edge for two cuts. Excel blades are better. I will look and try SM. Thanks for the info! Tim

    I cannot believe the detail that you have done on this ship. It is without question one of the best that I have seen done. You are a great teacher.

    Jerry, glad to see your reply. The two club websites would be; USSCMSG.org for the Constition guild. Also, mvsmc.org for the Merrimack (Newburyport) club. Both web sites may be of benefit for you. Also, try the shipmodelsocietyofnewjersey.org. They have a very good web site and they are worth taking a look at. Best of luck Tim Murphy

    Glad to see you have joined MSW. We are a bunch of people who like Ships of all types. You can learn quite a bit by roaming the branches of this site. It seems that your in the Boston Area? Have you heard about the Constition Guild or the Merrimack Ship Model Club? You have a group of ship model guy’s who can teach you and also give advice. If you are interested I can send you the E- mail address of these two clubs so you could check them out. Good luck with your builds! Tim Murphy

    A really handsome model. She looks equal to many Constitution models that I have seen. I volunteer at the Constitution Museum. BZ Tim Murphy

    Michael, watched your lecture at the Ship Model Society of New Jersey. Incredible work, it was a pleasure to see your craftsmanship.
  21. Tim Murphy
    This will be my build on this Mid Section Model
  22. Tim Murphy
    For myself those two future parts will be away off! But, one thing I need to do first is too inventory the kit.
  23. Tim Murphy
    I do have the Kit, so I would also be interested in the group build! Tim
  24. Tim Murphy
    I just got my kit the other day. Took about 8 days to get it from China. Amazing service! This should be a great build. Tim
  25. Tim Murphy
    Cafmodel has done it again. Another great kit! Thank you guys for what you do. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Better New Year. Also for your New Year when it comes up in February. Also, I just ordered the Kit. Thanks Tom! Tim

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.
