    Everyone knows pirate ships flew the famous skull and crossbones, but was there any evidence of imagery of skulls or skeletons anywhere else on the ship? You see stuff like that on fictional pirate ships all the time, like the one below.

Must have been a scary thing to see!

    Also, I was wondering how you guys scratch-build the intricate little windows and window frames on the stern of most ships. I'll probably use some type of clear plastic as glass, but I don't know how to make the little wood frames.

    Hello guys, I've always like to build models since I was a young kid. My first model ship was an AL Virginia Schooner, which I built when I was in third grade. It wasn't museum quality, but pretty good for such a young kid. I built a very small solid hull USS Constitution when I was in eighth grade, and an AL San Francisco Galleon the following year. The Constitution was pretty easy but the Galleon's plank bending proved to be quite difficult so i came to this board as a lurker to get advice.

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.
