    Absolutely stunning! I have many times referred back to this build log while working on my Harvey kit. I've made some progress during COVID, but alas, I have not worked on mine for about a year. I really need some time to finish her up. So close. But I fear it will not come close to rivaling your skill and craftsmanship on display with this beautiful ship. Very well done sir! Thank you for posting the final pictures.

    Thank you. After I complete my current build I will start on this project. I. Looking forward to it!

    Quick question, I have a kit that my father started before he passed away suddenly. It is in need of repair / restoration and I would like to continue it to completion. Where should this build log go? It is a kit, but there is also a good bit of restoration to be done before I can continue the kit? I just want to make sure I put it in the right place and name it correctly. Thank you.

    I tried to get some better lighting and a background to show off some of the rigging I have completed on this ship so far. It's a small start. I still need to make the other mast, hopefully this weekend I will have some time to get the main mast comets and set.
  26. Spellapeaka
    It's been a little while since I made a post. I have been steady working on the fore mast. Just got it set and glued in position a few hours ago. It's hard to get a good picture at my work bench because the lighting is not great for photos. Hopefully you can see the mast in it's position. Lots of photos of scratch built stuff for the mast. Truth be told the kit supplied mast cap and cheeks are M.I.A. probably lost them years ago. It took a practice run with the mast cap to get it right. The first one split apart as I was finishing it up. I went out and bought a 6x6 mm length of wood from Michaels and made the mast cap out of that. It held together that time. All in all looking pretty good. I will probably start on the dead eyes and stays while working on building the main mast. Enjoy the pics.

    Wow, the ship is looking phenomenal! Great work!

    I am interested in the USS Constitution. Please let me know if it is available. Thank you

    Off to a great start there. I have an occre kit on the shelf "The Golden Hind". The kit looks nice and all but the directions leave some things to be desired. This looks like a real fun build though. Cheers!
  30. Spellapeaka
    Thank you for all the kind comments! I got a little more done on the of the ship. The anchors proved to be pretty fiddly little things. But in the end, I they came out okay. Then I started coming up with measurements and drawings for the mast top of the for mast. Soon there will be masts! Yup, have to create this from scratch. Lol

    This is looking fantastic! Cannons were frustrating for me on my current build. I would say yours are looking superior in every aspect to mine. Going forward, I will try to have "other tasks" to jump around on while doing cannons as it gets pretty boring after the third one or so. Keep going, it really is looking fantastic!
  32. Spellapeaka
    Yes, they did update the kit quite a bit. The deck furniture was prefab by AL, and it was all unusable. It was fun remaking it all though, and at the least, the prefab stuff was a nice guide for re-creating it. I think I purchased the kit around 2000, I'm not entirely sure what year they changed it.
  33. Spellapeaka
    This really looks amazing! Thank you for making a build log. I am learning all kinds of tricks and tips from reading it!
  34. Spellapeaka
    Got a lot done on the bowsprit. I took a moment to set it on the kitchen table to get some better pictures. I had to step back for a moment. Pictures do not seem to do it justice. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but, this thing is looking so good. I have never built any thing of this scale or detail and I have to say, I am really excited with how it is turning out so far. Fingers crossed, the rest of it comes together as nice. I included some action shots this time.
  35. Spellapeaka
    Very nice! I am at about the same place on my Harvey. Looking forward to watching the build!

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.
