    Until then, I'll do a basic schooner of sorts, that will fit the bottle I intended for the Britannia. It'll be a basic generic job, unless I can find a specific Schooner worth making.

    What is a mind if you can't change it. I'm putting this one on the shelf. I think it would work well in a big light bulb. Attached is a decorative light, probably 150mm across. Halogen and used a lot. So I'm hoping it will blow at some point, so I can put the Ineos Britannia in it. These are too expensive to justify ruining a perfect bulb to open it.

    Sorry comment earlier ment to say the hull is too small. I made the foils smaller. A bit better, but ran into a problem with the bottle. It's too narrow for the foils as well... unless I tuck them in under the hull...

    Progress thus far was good. Nothing new just basic carving. Im guessing the scale on the foils. Please let me know what you think, if the proportions are ok: I think it's too small. Used sn empty beer can, it is very flimsy. Will also try a lid of a jar

    Gday all. Been keen to do a SIB since university days, after I've seen the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Back then forums like these were not really to be found. Plus starting career family etc. My lovely wife gave me the Amati Hannah kit for a present two years ago. That was a good learning start. I hope to work my way up from beginner to advanced, to master, and perhaps one day Igor's level My first scratch build is something simple and different. And that will hopefully fit the bottle I have laying around. Not really a fan of the Americas cup, but a great fan of the Ineos Grenadier. Looking forward to the build, and mostly advice from everyone. I read the copyright policy. Please delete if a screenshot is a breach? Thanks Obus

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.
