    I pre-ordered David’s new book on the Fubbs. Seawatch Books billed me a month ago and I’ve yet to receive the book. I’ve reached out to Seawatch twice and Purple Dot and can’t get a response from anyone. I did receive the downloads of the Fubbs plans but that’s it. Has anyone received their pre-order? I’m thinking my book has somehow been lost. Need some help on how to get a response from Seawatch Books. Thanks everyone! Best, Jim

    Good luck! I have this book as well and this is one I’m considering for my first scratch build too. Am very interested in following your journey. Thanks for sharing.

    The rigging section on this website has lots of information on rigging. YouTube has plenty as well. Also Google searches can probably give you specifically what you’re looking for. I did all this when I rigged my first model and it worked out well. Good luck. It all gets easier as you gain more experience.

    Fantastic idea Toni! I recently completed the NRG’s Planking Tutorial that you were instrumental in developing. That was very educational. I’ll be purchasing once available. Should prove useful when I get to rigging the Mayflower I’m currently working on. Thank you for creating this!

    David, I ended up doing the same on mine. I think it’s a manufacturing issue with the kit. Shims resolved the issue for me. Below is how mine turned out. Very educational and worthwhile.

    Greg, you are a model making machine! 😆 Really do enjoy your logs.
  27. James G
    It is a piece of art so my feeling is it depends on which master you’d like to serve. Accuracy or clean lines? The beauty is in the eye of the beholder so your call. I can make a case in my own head for either direction. Enjoying the build!
  28. James G
    Welcome back! Glad to hear you’re feeling healthy! Always enjoy your build logs and this one looks interesting.

    The NRG Merchantman Half Hull project is now complete. Excellent tool for developing planking skills. Highly recommend! More to come on my Winnie build journey.

    Kenny, I cut my own bulkheads and former as well. It takes some extra time but I don’t regret the experience I gained by doing so. Looks like you’re getting off to a nice start. Best wishes!

    Before beginning the planking process in Chapter 2 I wanted to learn and practice a bit more . To help with my skills I’ve been working through the planking skill building project that’s offered through the NRG. A very helpful tool! If you want some additional training and practice this is a wonderful resource. I’ll begin Chapter 2 once I’ve completed this half hull. Happy New Year 🎊 everyone!

    Welcome Kenny! I started my Winnie about a year ago. Just beginning Chapter 2. A great model and a great group here. Lots of support whenever you need it. Looking forward to watching your progress!

    Beautiful Frank! Looks like the PVA will be flying soon. 👍
  34. James G
    That’s what I did when I built mine. No regrets…would do the same again.

    Well done, Robert!

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.
