    I never would have known where to start something like you are doing. That is truly amazing. I'll be keeping tabs on your progress, and I am certain they will be spectacular. Ron

    Thanks John! I hope to start the rigging in the next couple of weeks. I 'hope' to get the ship finished this year. But we'll see. I see you have completed several ship builds. I am starting to 'think' about my next ship, or boat, but have not come up with a decision yet. I'll take any suggestions. Ron

    Thanks Brian!

    Thanks Kurt. Sorry for calling you Ken. Let me say that some of the work you have done with your Constitution is so much better than mine and in more detail. You definitely have the knack for working with small items that are on these ships. Even my wife said 'Why doesn't your ship look as good as Kurt's?' (HA!!!). I will admit that your masts are really, really good. I am hoping mine will come out looking that good. Ron

    Here are a couple of other photos. This first one is another view (please ignore my mistakes ) at the currect build stage: Not sure yet how the text and photos line up, but the 2nd photo is taken thru the windows of the transom looking towards the bow. The light you see shining off the gun deck are from small LED lights I installed in the ceiling of the gun deck. Course using my phone to take the photo does not due it justice. When you look at it with the naked eye you can see all the way to the bow.

    Thanks Mark. Definitely appreciate your comments from an expert ship builder. Ron

    Thanks Ken (hope I got the name correct). That says a lot coming from you. I have seen your Constitution and your work is 'amazing'.

    Since I just joined, and this is my first build, please note that the photo attached is where I am currently. Been 15 years to get this far. Here is the overall view of what has been done up to this point:

    Hello everyone. Name is Ron, but I also go by reborn (semi-long story so won't bore you here). Hope the below is not too long-winded... I am new to MSW, just signed up yesterday. I read ccoyle's 2016 notes that started this thread in 2016. I can relate to the fact that the 'really' simple boats/ships, which a beginner like me should start with, don't have the 'draw' like building something like the Constitution, or many of the others that should require an expert hand at building. I am 68 now, but when I was about 10 I was given a birthday gift of the Constitution,

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.
