    Thanks. It looks really good. About my build log: it's on another forum. Best, Rabi

    Nice work on the planking, Derek! I'm working on the same build, also doing the planking. How did you get the planks to fit together so nicely at the stern where the stern blocks are very curved? Did you bevel the planks along the long edges? Thanks, Rabi

    Definitely. Money does not grow on trees! As others have said, there are tons of build logs for the Bluenose and other ships in the MSW forums. They should help you greatly whatever you decide to build. Best, Rabi

    Hi Bruce, I'm guessing that you are Canadian since you linked to Amazon Canada and the model you identified is the Bluenose from Nova Scotia. A wooden model of the Bluenose that is often suggested as a challenging first build is the Model Shipways Bluenose. You can find it on the Model Expo website (modelexpo-online.com). It's more expensive than the one you linked to. But customer support is good. The other good thing about the Model Shipways Bluenose is that there's a good "practicum" for it produced by Lauck Street Shipyard. This practicum provides step-by-step instructions on the build as well as a list of recommended tools. The author, Bob Hunt, is also very helpful should you have any questions. Hope this helps. Best, Rabi

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.
