    thanks for the likes and coments😊 i have bin testing som material for the simulated steel plates . i first used some alu foil , but i think te seem was not thick for the scale, so i have to go and think out some thing again🔧🔩🔨🚀..... i did find some card stock , cutting it in some peases (not in scale yust randum) used some pva glue om the back and glue it to some wood , i think this is it!! nice seems and teksture . Is low cost and i can cutt it in any way i want! the test is not painted yet, but after this is glue on the hull and painted i thing this is going to be very nice😊 svein erik

    The pequot was built in 1909 by the New York Shipsbuilding company in Camden, New Jersey with the name General Samuel M.Mills and first commissioned as an Army mine layer. She was driven by two compound- expansion 2 cylinder coal fired steam reciprocal engines which generated 900 horsepower. the length was 166' and beam of 32' with a draft of 13' she displaced 1106 tons. October 12, 1908 the keels for the Mills and Schofield where laid on the same day, My build wil be based on the Mills/ later Pequot from 1908/1909 and the hull is constructed of wood with wood planking, later i wil make simulated steel plates with the bolts etc ( hull) the main deck cabins wil also have simulates steel plates , but the upper cabins wil be in wood as constructed in 1909. some photo of the building of the Mills /Pequot, and my frame work as it are now . i need more wood filling at the stern an some more fairing of the hull befor planking. svein erik.

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.
