    Thanks that brought back memories of watching the boats on the river at Marietta Ohio. Also visiting the Howard ship yard. The oldest continues operating shipyard in the country. If you ever get to southern Indiana they have a great model steamboat museum. Bob

    What to do on the roof? Tables and chairs? You did that. A dance floor? you did that too. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Bob

    Sometimes fantastic is "good enough". Bob

    There are a lot of RC boats at about 1 meter so your 32" should do fine. Bob

    Are you sure about the scale? She looks much larger. Like 1:96 or so. Bob

    Coming right along and she's such a fine little boat. Bob

    Popeye, The three booms with all the rigging would be quite a challenge but when she was converted to the Pequot they only left one. Oh well, Maybe the Gen. Samuel Mills will get built someday. Good story Ben. I guess the better question, for me, is why do I keep being distracted with the modifications that were not on the model I am building? I have to keep in mind, I am building the version that is pictured in the overhead shot at the start. Bob

    It just keeps getting better. Bob

    Your boat is a boat of your imagination. Do what you want. You will be happy with your dream boat, not what others tell you a real boat looks like. Bob

    This is the website that tells it all. It was put up by chipaz in phoenix. His father served on the Pequot and I'm sending him pictures as I build. http://indicatorloops.com/usn_pequot_plans.htm There are complete plans for the Samuel Mills which was turned over to the Coast Guard and converted into the Pequot.

    I remember seeing two Footys being sailed on Lake Michigan in water so choppy I would not sail my One Meter. But the little Footys were doing fine, bobbing on top of the water with no water inside. Bob

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.
