    Thanks Richard. They are off a little, but I plan on decking over everything so I'm leaving it alone. I really only went that far to learn new techniques since I am brand new to all of this.

    Hi all, I'm finally back. My mother just retired and is moving to upstate New York, so I have been helping her get packed up. Here are the latest pictures, please note that I took some liberties with my build. Since all of this work will be covered up (and I made a few newbie mistakes ) I decided to practice different joints and cuts with the deck beams and carlins. I would also like to throw out an awesome job to the other Willie Bennett builders that I have been following, especially Adam, Richard and Gerty. I would have been so lost without your build logs to refer to. Maybe I'm more visual, but once I was able to see your builds, it all fell into place. So without further adieu, here are the pictures.

    I did not get a chance to load the pictures last night so here it goes. I'm still waiting on missing parts so the build will be even slower, however I may begin some of the other areas that don't depend upon the missing parts. However, I will need to do a little more research before I feel comfortable building out of sequence since this is my first build. Have a great day everyone,

    Thanks Gerty, I'm going to try to get new pictures up tonight. I will need to slow down a little as I am waiting on missing parts from Model Shipworld..

    OK, more pictures. The deck is planked, just the chunks to go in. The chunks are in and 2 coats of primmer are on. I left teh sanding a little rough on purpose. I have seen many working skipjacks on the eastern shore and none of them look brand new, They are beat up just right.

    Hi all, I was finally able to get back to the model and I have more pictures. Getthing the sides tied together and planking the deck. More pictures soon, my wife is the photographer so I am still figuring the camera out.

    Thanks for the support everyone, I hope to get more pictures up this weekend.

    Adam, I am so glad that you are building this one. I am working on the same one and it is my first kit, so when I get a little tennative, I can see what you did and I don't feel so lost. Looks great by the way.

    I'm glad to hear that there is a change going on. I emailed a parts request for missing parts and have not heard anything back yet. I picked them because of I'm working on my first ship and I heard they have the best customer service. I fully understand bring a new employee up to speed, so I will wait my turn to hear back.

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.
