    Started my 1st ship.The Independence by Artesania Latina.I have been building models for ever and always wanted to do one.

    It was picked up from a secondhand store that was with a bunch of other stuff for $30.00 USD. To my horror but really no surprise the keel and bulwarks were gone.

    It almost went in the trash after seeing that awful transom plate and the price of a full kit.
    Thanks to DocBlake's build log and beautiful build and all the other logs I came across. I decided to buck up and get the full kit.
    No problem found a new kit and making templates for the missing pieces. So in the end I will have 2 of these to complete. It will be slow going for me.
    BUT I will finish at least one of them just because it took for ever to find anyone that completed this ship.So thanks all you never quitters.
    I dove right in and got off to a bad start but its salvageable. Got a few books and joined a lot of forums and have lots of good help.
    Looking forward to new online  community friends and great talents to learn my way around the wooden ship world. It will be a few weeks till I can really get back to this got to get the garden in and a deck on the house.box1.thumb.jpg.7ba36cc4097ae99f7ae44cd61b57176b.jpg

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.
