    looked nice but not too simplistic and toy-ish. Something to learn the ropes, literally, before tackling a more serious build. In the end the ship should be displayed as a waterline model under full sail. Looking at the build logs of theoracle09 and maso and their Newport models (here and here) encouraged me to keep going and that I was doing okay so far (I think). As of now I finished planking the hull. The transom in picture 11 was just loosely put in place and as I didn't like the flat top I added another stripe and shaped it round. All the pictures I found of these vessels showed curved transoms. The Lynx/Mosquidobit schooner build of SaltyScott which I am totally excited about and all the wisdom posted there confirmed my resolution.

    Ahoy everyone! When I was looking for something I can do quietly after wearisome hours in the store and on dark winter weekends, I decided to build a model ship. The idea was going round in my head for quite some time and in January I finally got started. Why ships? Maybe watching Master and Commander a 100h time or the rebuilt of the classic sailing boat Tally Ho on YouTube/Patreon (I am following and supporting the project for years now) got me into it. Maybe the seed was planted even further back when I visited the Naval Museum in Karlskrona, Sweden, with all it's original ship models from the 18th century, or the Technology Museum in Berlin and its many models of historic ships on display. Anyway, I bought a model that was in the „simple to build“ category without looking to simplistic, the Schooner Newport by Mamoli. Unfortunately, I felt the manual could be better, at least for beginners and was left wondering how to properly plank the hull. As I found a lot of information here and two build logs which helped me through the process, I thought I might as well join the club and contribute my own build. I am looking forward to further browse the forum, learn a lot, get new ideas and hopefully can be of help to the community too. Cheers Joachim

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.
