    Hey everyone my name is Rob and I did a lot of model cars as I was growing up. It's been 15 years since I picked up a model so I wanted to see how doing wooden models would be. I just post my first log after doing extensive research on good starting models to get my hands wet. So come and check out my HMS Beagle build and looking forward to getting to know you guys.

    So this is my first build of a legit model ship. I bought a Chinese knock off to make sure I would be into making a wooden model ship because I have done lots of car models as a kid but it's been 15 years since I did one. Either way looking forward to getting into this new hobby because I want a better outlet then video games and youtube because it's a waste of mental health. Either way hope everyone enjoys my log as much as I will and looking forward to sharing my experience with everyone!! P.S. props to OcCre for an amazing model kit with such detail in the instructions.

    Yea the rigging is pretty tedious especially on your first time. Make sure the rat lines go up towards the beginning, else it will be harder to do later on in the rigging process

    I will be following this thread a long one idea i saw for planking i thought was an amazing idea was to use balsa blocks in the first two ribs of the bow and stern to help with not having to use the 2mm planks to do the super harsh planking. its mentioned in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqmZLUL1lRI Next week ill be starting my build on a HMS Beagle and be doing a build log for the first time. I've been into plastic models as a kid and wanted to get into model ship building and bought a cheapo Chinese wooden ship to see how it went and this is the progress on it till i hit a dead end with the rigging cause I don't know enough to do the rigging right yet. Pictures aren't that great but this was me just trying it out to see how I liked building wood ships instead of car models.

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.
