    A silly question on my build. I have sanded my bulkhead frames to be level with the keel. However, in a video i purchased along with the kit, not specific to the actual kit, they seem to imply that i need sand bow to stern to get the keel level across its length. I say imply as they do not state that but the guy on the video does run his sanding block the full length of the ship. I have attached a picture of the ship with a straight edge to show the bow of the keel. Looking for advice as i do not think this should be sanded. Like i said, a silly question. Thanks in advance. Doug

    Hope i am doing all this correct, it is my first build log. First time i worked on a wooden ship sites like this did not exist. This will not be a fast build, my wife will be having back surgery and the grandkids have just moved closer, so please bear with me. I do plan on getting the grandkids a model for them to work on as well, fingers crossed on that one. I have just finished with the dry fit and have now glued bulkhead frames to the keel. Hope you guys like what you see as I move along. I am very much looking forward to seeing my progress as well. Doug

    Howdy Samuel, Fellow newbie here also in Texas. Build looks good and good luck to you as you continue working on it. You mentioned you are a student. Mind if I ask where? I work at the A&M campus in College Station. Doug

    Bruce, I was sent to this site by someone in a reddit group who suggested that I do just that. I am reading a few posts then I will start investigating how to start a log. Doug

    Just wanted to say hello. Last time I built a ship this type of site did not exist, as it was slightly more then 20 years ago. Just started a new model yesterday and I am so looking forward to it. Doug

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.
