    Swift 1805 by PopJack - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Virginia Pilot Boat - Older version

    PopJack, excellent start to your new build.

    The only thing that comes to mind though is that the extra blocks you used to support the walls of the Deck House.

    If you look ahead, you will see that you frame the deck holes and the frame is a bit raised so that the deck house rest in the frames. With those blocks there you may have to trim them up so that the Deck house rest over the frames and touches the deck.

    I need recommendations for my next kit build! - moved by moderator

    Philo, i would take a look at the kit selection article from the site here.

    http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/plans_and_research/KitSelection.pdf

    I would say that you should pick something you like and think you would finish.

    I would also say those ships are much more advanced than the Swift. If I had thought things through after my Swift I would have started the AL Virginia followed by the HMS Bounty and then maybe the San Fransico and then after a few under my belt I would then move on to the advanced models like the Santa Ana or HMS Surprise.


    Do you have any pictures of your Swift?

    Hopefully you will share with us what you decide for your next build and of course start a build log.

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.
