    Well I’m actually going to build the Model Shipways Dory, Pram, Smack to get a feel for this stuff, then I plan on building the Lady Nelson. I’m actually going to be using glennard2523’s and your Build Log as my references. After that, I was going to try the Vanguard Alert.

    https://dlumberyard.com/ Has anyone dealt with this place? Is it a good place to do business with? I searched but didn’t find any info.

    Thank you very much Toni, also yes, sorry my name is John

    Sardinia, home of Casu Martzu🥶, love the figures man, I’ve always been into miniature war gaming. I’m new to the wooden ship model world also. Kind of daunting, but it looks like you have some real skill 👍
  5. Malazan
    Thank you all for the information, I’m starting to visualize some things. Trying also to learn all the nautical terms. Getting confused with Garboard, strake, spilling, stealer, whale etc 😂

    Just got one shipped, hope I can figure this Rabbet thing out, it’s really bothering me 😆
  7. Malazan
    Thanks, I already watched that. Still doesn’t show how to cut the Rabbet also still unsure about the long vs short plank technique I guess it’s called scale planking, is this correct?
  8. Malazan
    I have two questions actually 1. Is it easier to plank in long strips, or in shorter pieces? 2. Does anyone have a good video of someone cutting the Rabbet, I’m terrified of starting this process 😆

    There is also a new one called Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail It incorporates land and naval battles from the Napoleonic era
  10. Malazan
    LOL sorry, I should have read closer about the Historical Accuracy. I thought maybe you just like playing PC games dealing with the Age of Sail. Not many real good ones out there.
  11. Malazan
    These look really good, you should check out the upcoming Skull and Bones from Ubisoft

    Where is this guy at! I want to see the end of this. Some people are ridiculously talented 🤩 WOW
  13. Malazan
    Very nice, I will be using this build to help me with mine
  14. Malazan
    What he said
  15. Malazan
    LOL pardon my ignorance but what is a Fit Stick, I tried google but I just keep getting a bunch of exercise stuff 😂
  16. Malazan
    Vanguard just shipped me the Alert, I got the Lady Nelson to practice with before the Alert, quite a price difference. Didn’t want to ruin the Alert first time out 😆
  17. Malazan
    Nice, I’m about to order one
  18. Malazan
    Anyone use a V Tool/Chisel to cut the rabbet? If so, what size of tool would be appropriate? Thank you
  19. Malazan
    I think I’ll take your advise and start with this Dory first, then I’ll try the Lady Nelson, and work my way up to the Alert
  20. Malazan
    Not sure what you mean? Seems to have more good than bad? LOL he seems a little eccentric like a grumpy old man, but if he can teach me how to build a ship I can put up with a bit.
  21. Malazan
    So, I ordered two Model Kits, the Amati Lady Nelson and the Vanguard Alert. I also ordered the following A Detailed Guide To Building Model Ship Kits and the Freshman Course, Lady Nelson from Lauck Street Shipyard. I plan to learn the building of ships on the Lady Nelson and then build the Alert after I acquire some skill Thank you to everyone for the advise
  22. Malazan
    Glad it worked out financially for you,, but it’s a shame about the model😪
  23. Malazan
    👍 Nice first build, hope mine turns out as good
  24. Malazan
    LOL man, I get you. My eyes were instantly drawn to ships like the Victory, SOS, San Juan Nepomuceno etc… but I know better than to try something like that, any ship I look at that has tons of rigging and sails I bypass
  25. Malazan
    Thanks man, I see your from Oregon, I grew up in Dallas, OR near Salem

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.
