    Hi all I have not been around for a while busy with life I guess. I have just finished a RC sailing boat using a fiberglass hull of a Muscongus Bay Sloop made by a guy I met down at the local lake one Sunday sailing a 1 MT class yacht. We got to talking and he offered to sell me the hull for around $50 plus a handful of wood and lead for the keel ballast. So I set about building her using a Gaff rig and twin jibs, I already had the rc gear left over from my model aircraft days although its a 8 ch set Overkill for a 2 ch yaucht. Took me a few months to get her finished as I had never built a yaucht before lucky for me my dad is a shipwright and a accomplished sailor from way back. had to build everything from scratch including the sails from witch I made out of cotton poplin. made a fiew stuff ups for instance I made the boom half the length it should have been and had to make a second set of jibs as the first set were compleat crap I still have to re make the mainsail as the luff has a sag in it. anyways her are some picks of her My wife asked me to name her Wiggles after our red kelpie who loved walking around the lake sadly se passed at the age of 18.

    I have another AL model ship its the Le Hussard/1848 I have made a start on the hull but its been sitting around for a long time perhaps just as long as the king of the Mississippi as I purchased them both at the same time.

    finally got this model finished.

    Slightly of topic This is the room I work in . Built the table and desk top unit myself.
  19. paulsuttton
    Bow and fittings. this is what I am up to at the moment.
  20. paulsuttton
    The lower hand rail is also scratch built. rear top deck seat and flag.
  21. paulsuttton
    This model did not come with any doors for the lower room so I made some.
  22. paulsuttton
    More scratch built hand rails.
  23. paulsuttton
    made a balsa spacer for the post spacing lol. Scratch built hand rails
  24. paulsuttton
    And this is one of the parts I had to make the Mississippi name plate.
  25. paulsuttton
    The biggest problem I have with this model is most of the cast parts have become brittle and broken. So I have had to make some parts from scratch.

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.
