    I glued the templates from the plans on to poster board and cut them out. They will be used to shape the hull. At first I used a scissors to cut out the templates, but I didn’t think my fingers would last. I switched over to my hobby knife and things went a lot better. Having a supply of sharp blades helped. l then used the deck template to mark out the stations on the deck, draw them in and label them. Now, I am working on removing the remains of the “carving lugs” from the bow and stern. I’m using a course round file and sandpape

    @schooner Unfortunately, they got so efficient with it, they fished themselves out of work and all the canneries in Maine shut down.

    Here is an image of the kit contents: I have been spending time gathering items needed for my build and familiarizing myself with the instructions. This build looks to be, for me, way more challenging than the Red Baron. I plan to take my time. I am still learning to work with wood and the tools that I am acquiring. Starting out I am shaping and smoothing the deck surface. I am including a picture below of the sardine carrier Jacob Pike. I took the image this summer while stopping in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The Jacob Pike is current

    I am getting ready to start my second build. I’ve chosen to build the sardine carrier Pauline by Bluejacket Shipcrafters. I hope you will indulge me as I start with a brief history of sardine carriers.* Having spent a lot of time traveling up and down the coast of Maine between Portland and Mount Desert Island, both by car and boat, I have come across a variety of ships and boats. As I have noted before, I have always been drawn to working boats/ships. The Pauline, among other sardine carriers, has a unique spot in Maine’s maritime history. The areas along Maine’s convo

    Yes, I second the recommendation of Alexander Kent's Bolitho series.

    I remember reading the Hornblower series as a boy. Loved them!

    Hi Al, I was up at the shop yesterday and Nic showed me the hull blanks for the Savanna. I'm excited to see the progress and the new kits. You guys have a wonderful shop going on in Searsport.

    Beautiful! You did an awesome job. I love the addition of the lobster trap, bucket and buoy!

    Sewing is definitely a skill. You did well. I can’t wait to see the final pictures. I’m glad you enjoyed the build. I enjoyed following along.

    Hi Tim, I just finished going through your build here. Outstanding! Really? This was only your second build? Stunning job! How do you like the Midwest kits?

    Very cool! I'll be following along.

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.
