    Now both lower planks are glued on. Tried to check for good alignment, and looked ok. So, I'll see when dry...

    Tried to steam to form first, but ended up boiling. Here attached to form and dry.

    Can you ever have enough clips? 😄
  6. Helge Hafstad
    Frames are done, and bottom is fitted.

    Frames being fitted to the jig. Jigs were actually used to build the real dorys.

    Have started the Artesania Latina kit for a French built Newfoundland dory. Build wise there are several things I am curious about, for example, that the masts have no stays. Also, the oar being used as a bow-spit to stay the mast forward, when you have the sturdy bow? That said, I've seen references that each dory "skipper" could rig his dory as he liked it. So there could be a lot of variations used. Two masts also seem a complication for a rig that would need to be rigged down for transport on a schooner. If you have information on such dories, please let me know.

    Looking forward to following this, as I'm about to try a dory myself. (The Artesania Latina Saint Malo)

    Thank you for welcomes! 🙂

    The amount of thought and detail here is amazing! Have a Caldercraft Fifie "Amaranth" kit that I'm thinking of building, but have to say your detailing is nearly disheartening! 😄 Well, it'll just take longer I guess. I'm sure I'll look here again to see things to consider. hope you do not mind that.

    Thank you! I'm sure I will.

    Hi all! Just found & joined here. Have built lots of models, mostly aircraft but also a couple of ships, in my youth. The hobby has been dormant for a long time. Then I built/modified a Kyosho SeaWind 1m RC sailboat, as a New Zealand racing sailboat, complete with commercials on the sails. That was fun, and I got a sail number from the SeaWind class club in New Zealand - they gave me 47 as that is the telephone code for Norway. 🙂 Now I'm trying to detail a RC controlled French Thonier (tuna boat), that was bought ready-built, but in my eyes screams out for detailing. Will also start to build, and have a kit for a Caldercraft Motor Fifie "Amaranth". That too will be an RC-controlled model. Can see here already that I can learn a lot here! Looking forward to that! 👍

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.
