    Okay... My daughter actually found the ship about 2 yrs ago. I had the bulkheads built, and half the planks on the deck done. When I started planking the deck 12 yrs ago, I was using basswood boards (3mm wide) for the decking material and thought I was being creative. Well, I finished the decking and started the first layer of planking, and about 10 planks into it, I realized that the thin strips were for the deck and not the hull! So that's when I put it back down.... Coming back to it when my daughter found it again over Christmas, I had a few evenings where I could actually read about the right way. so I did, stripped the decking planks, and added the hull planks. These pics represent the finished product. This was also when I had the realization that the deck planks didn't look to-scale at all.... and that's when I thought about re-doing the deck.

    This is my first model. I started this model about 12 years ago (!) and put it down shortly after I started. My daughter found the model downstairs a while back and asked what it was all about. After her urging, I picked it up again. I definitely have the bug now. (6/15 update) I found some older pictures of the first planking, and wanted to add them in, so I thought I'd stick them here.

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.
