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.
USS Constitution (Mamoli 1:93) What to do?
in Wood ship model kits
Posted · Edited by johnboyVA36
I just came across this site and created a profile.
I am getting re-started on my Mamoli 1:93 Constitution that I started back in '93. I was deployed on USS Theodore Roosevelt and bought the kit in Naples. I did most of the hull planking while onboard TR, and did a little more over the following few years, but kids/house/career caused me to put it on the shelf.
I am in Mass. and have been onboard Constitution a number of times, and have a lot of pics. I found that the entire bow area of the Mamoli kit is totally wrong. I will have to tear it apart and build it from scratch. After I get a better sense of how this site works, I may start my own build thread.
thanks in advance for all the great info and advice here!
For the poster above, I have the full set of plans if you need a copy of anything, let me know
