    Correction, It was 1/64" thick wood for the baseboards.

    Did you add the drain pipes and the base strip on the pilot house/forward deck house or were they part of the kit? I am building a newer version of this kit and used 1/32" thick wood strip for the base strip and .020" plastic rod for the drain pipes. The model looks great by the way.

    Jeff, the paint looks great. How much did you cut the True North Paints (50/50?) and what did you cut it with?

    Looks great Jerry, you set a high bar to follow. Still working on mine, and will post a build log in the near future.

    I thought it was just me. I must have read the construction manual 10 times looking for directions on the deck houses' safety rails. I am planning on gluing very small length styrene rods to each round junction to space them away from the houses. Your model looks great.

    Looks like you're making great progress Jerry. Can't wait to see it finished.

    Jerry, I am looking forward to this build log. I too am building this Bluecrafters model. If you have a Facebook account, check out the Nantucket Lightship/LV-112 Facebook page. many, many historical photographs. I actually visited the original ship in Boston Harbor last week. The volunteers on the ship were very friendly and helpful. On beginning the model, I found a lot of gaps between the templates and the carved hull, necessitating adding material rather than sanding away material (my garage is now carpeted with Bondo dust). Side note, when I was younger, I spent most of summers in Falmouth-still my favorite place on the Cape. Good luck with the build.

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.
