    @Loracs, @Coyote_6, and @72Nova, Thank you all very much! I finished installing and rigging all cannons: Here is the outboard profile view: I am currently working on the channels: I had taken a brief break to work on some 28/32mm figures, but as @catopower mentioned in his USS Bagley build log, “These paper models are friggin' addictive!” I had to continue on with this one!

    Congratulations! Excellent work!

    I have heard that Caldercraft Victory is the best on the market. It is the largest and most detailed kit of the Victory that is commercially available. If I were going to buy another wooden kit of the Victory, that is the one I would personally buy.
  25. GrandpaPhil
    That looks amazing!

    I would recommend a ship with one or two masts such as cog, cutter, schooner or brigantine. My first completed actually planked model was an AL Bounty Jolly Boat. My first completed actual ship was an MS Sultana, a Colonial Era schooner.

    Glen, Looking forward to this one! Those early steam ships make interesting projects!

    Welcome! This is my favorite corner of the internet. Everyone here is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Their examples, advice and experience are responsible for most of my models since 2018. I also build to chill out and relax. I’m also not super worried about the end result.

    Bienvenue! (Welcome!)

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.
