    Hello No Idea, Thanks for the encouragement. After building the keel three times and getting it wrong, I realized that the problem was not my level of skill (which is not that great) or the size of the plans, but my eye sight. I could not understand how I kept getting the measurements wrong until I looked at my work from under a magnifying glass. Then it all became clear (literally). So I have ordered a magnifying headset. Thanks, Bill

    Hello everyone, I've started working on the keel. I cut the notches by using the sliding table for my miniature table saw. I have also cut the scarf at the forward end of the keel. Bill

    Hello everyone, I'm finally getting started on the Washington. The plans from the NRG are very nice and easy to understand. This will be important as this will be my first POF. I printed out the monograph and made it into a notebook. The ship will be built from cherry. I may use something else for the deck planking. I have purchased my wood from Ocooch Hardwood and have received it. The wood is of very good quality. Ocooch was very good to work with. I talked with Ethan from Ocooch and he was very helpful in insuring I got very nice lumber. I have also started the framing jig. Bill

    Wow. A POB will be very interesting. Bill

    Hi Ken, I am very happy to see you start on your Washington. I will be following along with great interest. I have a set of the Washington plans and have received the wood for the build. This will be my first POF build. Bill

    Beautiful work Mark.

    Very nice and very fast work on your Endurance. Bill

    Beautiful work on your Mikasa. Bill

    Hi everyone, The plans are very nicely drawn. Ten sheets. Five of the sheets are for frames. Bill

    Hello everyone, Look what came today. When I opened up the box, I found a nice surprise. A 2023 NRC calendar was included. That was very nice to find. Thank you NRC. Now the fun part starts. Going over the plans. Bill

    Hello everyone, I just ordered the plans from the NRG. I have also downloaded the monograph, wood list and flag. I will be going over the monograph and the build threads. I will still need to decide on what woods to use and get it ordered. Bill

    Hi Tom, You’re doing a great job on the Endurance. Regarding the treenails. In all of the pictures of the Endurance I have seen, I have never been able to make out any nails. I left them out also. Bill

    Hi Bot, Would that be the old Hasegawa SE5 kit. I have seen it. It builds up very nice. Bill

    Hi Kurt, Thanks for the information and the quick reply. I have no idea where I got the idea that there was a CD included with the plans. I guess I was looking at too many things in the internet. I have been looking for a first POF project. I have gotten several sets of plan and monographs that were described as being good for a first POF build, but I found them too difficult to understand. I have been looking at some very nice build threads for the Washington and the plans along with the monograph appear to give a good opportunity for success. Thanks, Bill

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.
