    Thanks. The blocks came in the kit as lead castings. You need to add the red wire (also included) to finish them.

    I've constructed the Bluejacket Shipcrafters Swampscott Dory kit and wanted to share the results. This was my first attempt at building a model ship. I spent a lot of time searching these blogs trying to find information regarding the details, so hopefully my step-by-step photos are helpful. I generally followed the instructions included with the kit, but in several instances I elected to perform certain steps in a slightly different order. The photos below are shown in accordance with that sequence. One issue others should know is that the frame that spans the centerboard trunk (F2) is incorrectly dimensioned in the section view of the plans. The frame needs to be expanded in width by an amount equal to the width of the centerboard trunk (this can be seen in the photos below). There are a few other errors in the plans, but this is the most critical. (I'm an engineer and have a lot of familiarity with design drawings).

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.
