    Glad you reposted this build Russ, it is a great little first-up scratch builders project as you say. One positive or advantage of the site rebuild is the opportunity to revisit all these great builds as they are reposted. cheers Pat

    Great to see the log back Chuck. This is a very fine example of 'boat' building based on a very intyeresting design and an example of very precise joinery. cheers Pat

    Hi Robbyn, It is also worth considering the overlap/alignment of the first and second layers. If it is possible, it is preferable to overlap the first and second layer longitudinal joints (that is, not have them coincident). This provides additional strength and assists in stopping the hull joints opening if for any rreason they become wet (just ask a couple of members hows their models were accidently saturated by water leaks and the like) or in humid.hot climates. cheers Pat

    Glad to see you repost this great build mate. A quick question. How do you fit the round hole of the cap to the topmast (place the topmast into this hole)? I am building the caps for my Endeavour and find that with the 6 sided beveled conical piece at the top I simply cannot slide it through and I have had to cut the calp[s in two longitudinally. cheers Pat

    Hi Mark, I have also used one for some time, and as you say, very useful within its limitations - Even with a mitre box I find it difficult to get nice straight cuts for planks. This link takes you to an article in the MSD which shows some interesting modifcations. cheers Pat

    You're ahead of me Greg, I am still rebuilding mine in a word file to allow quicker rebuild. I had forgotten your "porcupine" hull cheers Pat

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.
