    Jay, how do you like Wye River models skipjack? I’ve built a few of their models and like them.

    I got some more work done on my round stern. I installed the keel, I plank the round stern and started to plank the bottom.
  13. Mike Collier
    Got some more work done on my canoe. I think it’s coming along nicely but not my best work.
  14. Mike Collier

    I always learn from each of my builds, I learned from this never to use ammonia again! Jacques how did you use the spacer block?
  19. Mike Collier
    You did a really great job on the rigging! I wish I can do a job like that some day!
  20. Mike Collier
    Added the spreader bar. Cut out the sides, glued and clamped them in place.
  21. Mike Collier
    I did remove and clean the ribs and glue with Titebond wood glue and then clamped.
  22. Mike Collier
    I messed up on my canoe, the instructions said to soak the ribs in 50/50 solution of water and ammonia. I let them soak for 3 hours and then I started to glue them in, the ca glue turned white and dried hard. I’ll have to removed clean them and reglue , I should’ve rinse them off before I glued them in. I’ll never use ammonia again.
  23. Mike Collier
    I’ll have to paint it, I had use a little body filler on the bottom.
  24. Mike Collier
    Sanded the hull today, removed from building board and added the pieces to the peaks ends.
  25. Mike Collier
    Didn’t work to much today, watching football. I did work on the round stern adding the top and supports.In the back ground of the picture is my pot pie skiff, a killer hale and long tail drake that I carved.

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.
