    Back at it - I made the ships boats, the deck cannons and the stern windows. (1812 version 5 window) on with the cabin windows and the gold leaf trim.

    Great choice on the 5 window design. This was from Marquardt's book - cut with my CNC machine.

    Hi Rich - I made the entire stern from a single piece of African rosewood on my C&C machine - So the entire piece was designed from the 1812 drawings - and not from the kit...

    Thank you - there is some work to do - but having a blast re-designing it to 1812 "standards" - Merry Christmas -

    Rudder and hull complete. Now it's time for the deck fittings and the details...

    The bow work is underway, much different as she sits in Boston harbor (about 40 miles away from me) ( I have a ton of images if you need them) This is all from the book (drawings and designs) all the gold on the bow and Transom is 14 carrot Gold Leaf.

    The Transom is custom cut on my C&C machine, as the 5 window version, then painted to match the colors in the book.

    Hi All - I posted years ago before the site renewal last spring. It's been a few years, but I'm back at it, so I thought I would post a few "as is" images and start from here. It's modeled after the book "Anatomy of the Ship The 44-gun Frigate USS Constitution" by Heinz Marquardt. I know there is some controversy over the window counts, the style and the design as she sat in 1812, but I really liked the 5 window design, and in a few books, it referenced 5 windows on the stern, so that's what I'll do. All of the kit plans have been replaced by the images, drawings and references in the book, so i'm trying to make it true to Heinz's drawings and ideas. I like they way it's coming out.

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.
