    Looking great so far!

    Keeping an eye on this one! The Grecian is on my long-term list, so will definitely reference this in the future.

    Beautiful work as always @Ronald-V!

    Coming along well! I have some experience with those ArtWox decks, they're really nice but the one-shot can certainly be frustrating if not lined up 100%.

    Love this! I'm in the same boat, have to build more shelves!!

    Fantastic log, I'm impressed by your level of research and attention to detail. I have no doubt it will produce a beautiful looking ship.

    Good looking ship! Coming along quite well.

    Great looking ship, and very clean build!

    Hey there! I had this very same question a couple years back. I ended up going with the OcCre Golden Hind, and while initially I was somewhat overwhelmed (especially by the rigging plans), I was able to produce something I was proud of. We all come from very different backgrounds and skillsets, so while each recommendation may not work for another, I have no doubt you'll do great!

    Hey @Redshadowrider, pulling up a chair! Starting my own Syren soon (actually restarting, I had an early snafu with the filler blocks and nuked the spine trying to fix with power tools, big no-no). Love the ingenuity so far, and all the custom tools you've made along the way. Definitely stealing the idea to build the port templates early on! Will be following the rest of your build.

    Just started this build myself, but accidentally made a mess of the filler blocks and had to order up some new parts from Model Shipways. Will pull up a chair while I wait!

    Welcome! I just finished the Vanguard Sherbourne kit, and it is a beauty to build.
  19. Burgundy
    You're definitely on the right track!!

    In addition to the advice of the above posters, don't give up! It took me 4 or 5 plank jobs that looked like a disaster before it finally clicked, i.e. thinking of the planks in 3 dimensions. The video that @Ronald-V linked above helped the most to understand. Don't give up!

    @bigcreekdad I suffer from the same decision paralysis when I get to researching new kits and builds. I will echo @ccoyle though in that most of these kits have some level of PE/tiny parts. I find that good tweezers and magnifying glasses help with those quite a bit! Just picked up the Syren as well. I think you'll do justice to any build you decide.

    This is a beautiful boat! Following along

    I appreciate the input! These are exactly the sorts of examples I'm looking for. My fear being that perhaps basswood isn't a great medium for staining. Was considering going for a Shellac or Oil approach, or even using stain conditioner first.
  24. Burgundy
    I do not! Was going to use the one that was published here, along with the guide itself. Hopefully that's enough for me to create a beautiful boat!

    @ccoyle it's one of those practicums that I'll be getting more familiar with shortly, I plan to build the US Brig Syren after I finish up with the current Sherbourne. Wanting to get ahead of some of the research, I was considering doing a finished hull instead of the coppering provided with the kit.

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.
