    The mast and bowsprit have been attached and shrouds are in place.

    Thank you both for the suggestions regarding the copper tape. I'll need to get a supply of one more item, patience!

    Finished with coppering the hull. It's a little too shiny for my taste, so I 'm thinking of ways to weather it a little bit. Finished the transom railing. The posts are these really malleable pieces of cardboard soonce attaching the them to the stern I applied CA to harden them and them attached the two pieces of top rail.

    Coppering proceeds smoothly.

    Further progress made. I'm ready to copper the hull.

    I started applying the 3rd layer of planking. The instructions tell you to finish the 3rd layer of planking before attaching the keel. However I went ahead and attached the keel so I may lay the tips of the planks at the bow to cover the small gap.

    I thought I'd give paper ship models another whirl. Decided to go with a laser cut Shipyard model to make it a little easier. I purchased the Berbice 1780 Baltimore Clipper. The kit is great - great instructions - wonderful parts, resin cannons, paint and a couple of paint brushes. I made some pretty quick progress.

    I have been neglecting making updates as I have made further progress on this model. Here are some recent photos. Have some more deck furniture add as well as the rudder before I start on the masts, bowspirit and other related details.

    Progress continues. 2nd planking commences. Then the wale was installed.

    I finished the 1st layer of planking and then sanded the hull. I applied some wood filler and sanded it again. The instructions tell you to plank the bottom of the stern with walnut before starting the 2nd layer of planking.

    Hello I've been lurking on this website for a couple of years and building ship models to various levels of completion but thought it was actually time to build something to completion and post it on this website. The frame and bulkheads went together nicely and I am putting on my first layer of planking. I did some rabbet work and a bearding line down by the keel, stem, and post rather than following the kit instructions to the letter.

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.
