    Hi Keith: I build my wife a Victorian house. This took a lot of heat off as she said I was spending to much time on my boats. Now she spends hours decoration her new home. It really works.....

    Thanks so much Jon. I have learned so much from the pictures above and I will be revisiting as a reference going forward. I acquired a 1930 hand made fishing boat from the North Shore of New Brunswick. the hull alone is over 36". I will be doing a complete restoration starting this Spring and I plan on starting a restoration log. I will coming back to your builds for your help and inspiration. By the way, the Blizzard hitting here today has completely shut down New Brunswick. 40" plus 60 mph winds. Pat at Skiff Lake

    Hi Doug: Have you looked into solid wood hulls, such as the Blue Jacket kits out of Maine. In the 1970's there were located in Norwalk Conn. They have great kits and this is where I got my start. My first build was plank and it was difficult and discouraged me somewhat. After that I went to Blue Jacket kits and they have the Bluenose and many other great kits. Check them out on line...

    Hi Doug: I had the same problem with my first bluenose kit build. I had a hard time cutting them out, gluing, etc. On a lated rebuild I built these parts from solid wood and that turned out much better. Keep going. Pat at Skiff Lake

    Hi Michael: I want to join in also. I have spent the past five years doing nothing but restoration work on old models headed for the trash. You have a Hugh project ahead of you and I want to watch. thanks. pat at Skiff Lake New Brunswick..

    ps. I just posted today in the gallery some of the models I have restored in the past few years. Many of the boats were headed for the trash and were is really rough shape. I save as many of the original parts as possible and restore what I have to. I keep in mind that the original builder could only use what he had at hand. If anything I've saved something and I get great pleasure doing so. thanks again for the invite. Pat

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.
