The disaster happened on a Wednesday. The following Saturday repairs began. I was able to salvage the stem which broke off fairly clean. I was also able to save the cheeks and rails. I rebuilt the timbers using boxwood which allowed for much cleaner lines. Head was replanked and the unique white trim which defines the Constitution was reapplied. Bob R.

Constructed the head rails. Third head rail was the most difficult due to the turns it has to make. I used basswood stock to construct these rails which are formed from three separate pieces. The second rail is pretty straightforward. Once the second rail is installed I built the timbers and finally installed the third rail. Bob R.

Added the friezes. Still have the trim piece to install below the frieze and the hull will be complete. I used the friezes downloaded from this forum. The smallest one fit my hull perfectly. The ones supplied in the kit were way too large. Bob R.

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.
