    Hello! This is my very first build of a model ship and I'm pretty happy I decided to go with the Dory first! The instructions seem to be pretty detailed but it's certainly different than what I expected... It is definitely making me learn ship part names which will be great in the long run. This is my progress after the first day... I kind of went out of order from the book and just glued most things together that could be glued so I wasn't waiting a long time between steps. A couple of the things I'm not sure about when putting together... Is the Stern Cleat supposed to be the same shape as the Transom? Or is it supposed to stick out and be used for something else (like planking)? pictured below. When attaching the Stern Knee and Stem to the bottom of the boat, it has laser etchings for where they are supposed to be glued, but it stuck way out in front/behind the bottom... I put them centered on the boat and pushed them in so that the outer edge lines up with the bottom of the boat. I appreciate any information/suggestions/help anyone has to offer me!

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.
