    Thank you for this fantastic build log and great work on the project. I will be starting the Model Shipways Dory in a few weeks and found your detailed log very helpful. Your attention to detail and finishing skills are great exemplars to reach to on this project. Thanks!

    Hello Allan, I had not heard about the rebuild of the Ernestina over in Boothbay. I just looked their work up and look forward to learning more. I really enjoy following Sampsons Boat Co's YouTube channel of his rebuild of Tally Ho. Are you familiar with that project? -Steve

    Great build, Eric! How did you find this project? I'm going to be starting this one in a few weeks. Any recommendations or things to watch out for?

    Hi Bob! Another Mainer (but from Away) here. I'm in Downeast Maine. Have fun with the Bluejacket kit! I have their Friendship Sloop on my todo list at some point. Happy building (and stay warm), -Steve

    Hi Everyone! I've been an on and off wooden ship modeler for quite some time. I started my first model, the Benjamin Latham, about 15 years ago. It was a really bad choice for a first model and it eventually got to a point where there were serious problems. Life took me in a different direction for a while and I abandoned the build. I learned a ton at that time but didn't have the time or space to continue with the project. More recently, I've come back to the craft and I'm about half-way through building the Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat model. I'm making fewer mistakes this go around (there are still plenty) but I'm having a great time and continuing to learn as I go. I do find the instructions from Artesania to require a lot of deciphering and guessing! I'm going to wrap this project up (mistakes and all) in the coming weeks before diving into the Model Shipways Shipwright series. I hope that series as well as the amazing information (that I wish I had access to 15 years ago) here on this site to provide the support and information needed to make some headway in my building skills. Best, Steve

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.
