    Hull, mast, gaff, boom and cub, becket and blocks essentially complete. I used Minwax natural for the spars, and mahogany stain for the deck planking

    Soaked the mahogany cockpit coaming with hot water and ammonia (~20%) for 30 mins b4 attempting to bend. One piece split- I was able to mend w CA - and built a simple jig to finish the contouring

    Planking is complete. Difficult to bend basswood planks in 3 dimensions- I’m soaking the planks with boiling water and ammonia. There are several small gaps between planks. I painted several toothpicks the same color as the cockpit interior and glued them to the exterior hull to smooth the plank transitions

    This is an excellent narrative. Thank you! I just completed my first model- Cape Cod Catboat- and I purchased the Herreshoff 12 1/2 in Fall ‘21 from Blue Jacket and I will start in Fall ‘22- after the golf courses close in the Northeast

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.
