    So most builds I see start with an open the box picture, I plan to build the ship right out of the box, minor changes maybe but by the book.The Santa Maria institutions are in Italian, was hard to follow, as my new found friend Lapinas will tell you about he has a great page I sat for hours learning planking putting it together thanks so much. Many other pages help to . This one is in English and looks easier to read. I will try to use what I learned on the first to improve on the next. First thing I noticed only two rolls of rope instead of four , be done in no time lol. 🙃 😅 Well it begins but real life is calling, did I mention I was old and can't hear to good . Bye for now. 👋 👋 👋 👋

      Of course you can follow my stuff, Bob!  There’s no need to ask, by the way.  I follow quite a few builders and do most of my learning and problem solving reading their logs.

    Martín Alonso Pinzón, (Spanish pronunciation: [maɾˈtin aˈlonso pinˈθon]; Palos de la Frontera, Huelva; c. 1441 – c. 1493) was a Spanish mariner, shipbuilder, navigator and explorer, oldest of the Pinzón brothers. He sailed with Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the New World in 1492, as captain of the Pinta. The captain of my new log!!

    After being a member for about 15 months now, I still have no clue how to use the right page or who to ask. When I join I see on the home page a banner that says " don't post stand alone questions they will be deleted,so didn't ask any for fear of being booted lol . As for intimidating, after looking at the fantastic build logs, wanted to hide my model under a rock lol, but it for me to enjoy lol , Neanderthals like me just have learn as I go. . Thanks for putting up with me.
  23. Knocklouder

    Started untangle the lines ,what a time but I think I got it. It will do. Added the flags to it looks ok. This is the end results of me jumping into modeling. I LOVE IT. sorry for shouting but it's my first lol. Had so much fun doing this I will be doing more got two on order. Many thanks for all allowing me to copy their ideals, My skills need so much improvement I know but will come their is just to much to learn all in one build I know . I am sure thankful for these pictures and pages it help me along the way. Still don't know how to use a computer but it will do. So I guess I say so long till the next build. Some parting shot of where my ship lays now Good bye all Thanks 😊 ☺️

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.
