    Hello! This is my first ever build log, so apologies if I do anything wrong. On that note, I recently purchased a Scientific USS Constitution via eBay, and I have decided to make a build log while I do it. After looking at the instructions and reading them through, I decided I wanted to start by planking the hull. It comes with a completed hull, but that just feels like cheating to me, so I'm adding a second layer of planks. Also, this kit is so old that the pieces aren't cut out with a laser cutter! I've never seen this before, and I spent a good 15 minutes cutting out the top deck. In order, here are pictures of the hull, the cut-out deck, and the first plank to go on the side. Wish me luck!

    Hello everyone. My name is Eli, and I've been building boats for 6 years. I just finished making Occre's HMS Endurance, and I'm going to start a USS Constitution sometime soon. I'm thinking of making a building log, and I'm curious to hear any feedback or thoughts on how to make one. Also, I was wondering if anyone here can show me any resources for learning what every feature/deck detail is on the Endurance. I love naval history, I'm enjoying building boats, and I'm curious to see how far I can go. Nice to meet you all!

    John, I just finished my own Junk, and I was only able to do it by following your build and using it for inspiration. I don't know you, but I see you as a friend and guide who got me through my own Junk. Thank you so much!

    Hello! This boat is beautiful and I've always wanted to make one for myself. What's the company, and where can I find one online? 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.
