    Hi All, Just joined the forum. I recently acquired an old model ship from a junk shop in Lancaster Ohio (see attached pictures). It is clearly not a detailed model and I am not at all concerned by its $$ value. It appealed to me in it's sorry state and I intend to repair it over time. Perhaps this will lead into a more substantial project later on? At present, I am in the research phase and am hoping someone might know if my model ship is a generic ship model or a model of a specific ship that once existed. If it is a model (albeit a folk art style model) of a specific ship, I can focus my research and ensure I repair/replicate rigging, sails, etc with the necessary accuracy. The ship is made from timber and the lower hull section appears to be one solid piece. The crow's nest and remnants of the cover over the poop deck appear to be made from a fibrous waxed card or possibly animal skin of some sort e.g. pig skin). The two cannon on the upper deck are brass and there appears to be two porcelain headed pins on the front of the ship. There are no names on the ship with some pieces missing and or damaged. Any information to help me with my first project would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter

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.
