    Jon, Thanks for the welcome note. I've been following your build for while. Excellent work. I plan to follow you as a primary source during my build. I haven't physically started the build yet as I'm finishing Bluenose currently. I'm doing rigging now. If I don't finish this first I'm afraid I'll never get back to it once I start Constitution. Over the last six months I've spent about half my time doing research. The bow and stern gave me pause but now feel they're doable. I visited the ship in Boston in February and plan to go again. I'm still studying but plan to start in a couple months. I had allotted about three years for the build but it seems it will be longer. I look forward to corresponding with you throughout our builds.

    I have a general topic question. I've noticed that almost all planking on Constitution models and others of that era are left unfaired or little sanding. I've been to the ship and it's pretty fair considering the the method of construction. I know things vary in the modeling world but would it be better if the model matched the ship? Are builders doing this intentional or not? By the way, your build is excellent. Some day when I'm in Morro Bay, maybe I could stop by to see your work?

    Ken, Beautiful build. I'd like to follow your build as closely as possible. Would it be possible to get a copy of your build CD. I'd be happy to pay for any costs. Anyway, excellent craftsmanship. Helmar Sowick

    Rich, Beautiful build and great shop. I've been looking everywhere for the stern decor with no luck. Looking for Eagle, name plate and other vertical pieces. Can you help? Helmar

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.
