    D'day Wayne, I'm in Coffs Harbour. I'm sure someone in Tassy would know where that is. Good luck on your build. I started building models with a kit about 25 years ago. It was the intro for me into building wooden boats but...I decided to change things a little. You see women can't see the need to fill a house with wooden ship models, especially if they are about i meter long and about as high! Then there is the question of a case...our house wasn't big enough. So I began buying plans to build models from scratch. These plans I shrank by photo copier to about HALF. I now build true to scale models that are much more acceptable and easily fit into modern houses and furnishings. Attached are a few of my recent models, these are all about 700mm long over all. as well as a pic of a hull of Victory I completed years ago but never fully finished because of it's size. (Sails are tissue paper!) Hope you consider smaller models from scratch. They look great!!!

    I have built this model (fully rigged) about 8 years ago. I don't have it at the moment, but I am endeavouring to get some photos to post here. I am about to build it again from the same F. Underhill plans. I didn't know where the ships bell went either (so in my haste to finish I forgot about it). Now, looking at the plans they, have reminded me that the capstan on the foredeck is not correct. (certainly with the positioning of the rigging and the size and area of the deck). I placed it as shown on the plans, but it was never correct in my mind. I would like to hear from anyone who has built or is building 'Leon'.

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.
