  1. Ralph from Gloucester started following Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
  2. Ralph from Gloucester started following Considerations for Lofting L.D Dunton Plans
  3. Ralph from Gloucester
    I recently purchased plans for the L.A. Dunton and discovered that the plans indicate measurements outside of the planking. This detail makes perfect sense, as the plans were taken directly from the original vessel at the Mystic shipyard. Given that the plans reflect the dimensions outside of the planking, I am uncertain whether I should attempt to compensate for this difference. Alternatively, it may be better to simply loft the plans as they are, without making any adjustments. I would appreciate any guidance or recommendations regarding the best approach to take in this situation. Ralph

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.
