    Absolutely! Welcome aboard! I’ll start making sawdust as soon as I finish the Victory. I’m about halfway done with the Victory now.

    I like the cheap glue sticks. I get a four pack at the Dollar Tree. They work great for glueing plans to wood.

    I’m sorry to hear of this. My condolences to his family and friends.

    Oops. I did not think of that.

    Model Shipways is a good starting point. They will replace any part for any reason, your fault or theirs. The Model Shipways Sultana was my first real ship model. I really enjoyed building it. I’ve heard really good things about Bluejacket too, but I’ve never built any of their kits. The gentleman who runs it, his username is Mr. Bluejacket (real name Nic), is on this forum.

    I did mine the same as the carriages with black around the outside of the wheel to simulate the iron banding.
  19. GrandpaPhil
    Well done. This is a great kit to start with.

    Cardstock makes excellent templates. Once you find what fits, trace it on the wood. Then just flip it over and trace the other side. Unfortunately, sometimes it comes down to trial and error.

    Thank you for all the likes and the comments. Working on the head and the bow. I made a few trim pieces and two small carvings. I’m getting set up to build the head pieces and the head rails. It’s slow going and very finicky. That’s the fun part for me.

    Listening is what friends are for.

    I’ve been told before that I taught the mule how to be stubborn, lol.

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.
