Thank you for your comment. I have bought a New Bedford whale boat kit but not made it. Funny story...start of Covid last year I ordered it...12 months later they wrote to me and asked me if I still wanted it....They had my money so I said yes. But since then I think that the outside of the boat will look OK but the inside won't match so ... not sure about putting in the effort to build it. Hence my inquiry. Love your thoughts.

Hi, I am reasonably new to this hobby so have a question. I have completed two kits and two scratch builds. Kits all seem to rely on double skinning while a real New Bedford whale boat or Bounty launch would be built with a single layer. Is it simply too hard to build single layer? Any thoughts appreciated. Mike

Ships vs Boats
Mike from Aus replied to Mike from Aus's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
Thank you all......just trying to do the right thing.....I haven’t done a build log you but I will do so this time. -
Just a question....I am about to start a model 1950s speedboat.....clearly not a ship. Are boat builds welcome on this forum? Thank you.

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.
