    Just received Midwest Grand Bank Dory kit, that I’ll start tomorrow. I also ordered the Midwest kit Sakonnet Daysailer. The Grand Banks Dory kit looks really good. I kit the Midwest kits from Model Expo all are going to be pretty good! Will be following this build too!

    Could you use a divider with a pencil on the wood and pointer on model to trace the curve of the bow to the wood, then cutout and see how close you come to fitting.

    You said your wife won the kit at a model boat show. Was that in Oxford Md?

    Looks great! You did a nice job! I just ordered this kit and looking forward to building it.

    Model, I don’t have room for a full size.
  21. Mike Collier
    Great job! I’ve done one of their kits and it’s a little weird wiring the planks together but it works! Like to do this kit myself.

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.
