    Welcome ! This was my choice for a first build as well. It is a nice little model and will allow you to pick up some skills. Just be aware that because it is an open boat you can see the inside of your planking so make sure you take your time to make it as neat as you can. 

    Thanks for the heads up jpalmer1970. I will definitely follow your advice and check inside and out while doing the first planking.

    Hello, First post here in this group and can I say thank you for accepting me into this group. It seems a wonderful resource for anyone interested in model ships regardless of their experience level. So this is my first foray into wood,  I have been over on "The Dark side" making plastic models of all different subjects.  I purchased HMS Endeavour's Longboat quite a few years ago and it has been on the "maybe next model" list for a while. So I suppose it's time has come.  As with a lot of other comments I have read on this site, the key seems to be slow and steady  (so please be patient with me as I am a naturally slow modeler) and really check fit and alignment before gluing :). One thing I would mention is the instructions that come with this particular model leave much to be... shall we say "deduced".

    I have put together the frame and all seems in alignment and progressing well.

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.
