    I've been browsing/studying your build of the Andrea Gail.  What a terrific piece of work you've accomplished. I would like to attempt this. I've scoured the web with no success finding any plans, especially for the hull specs and profile.  

    Are you aware if there any plans for sale?   I can find hull length, width, and depth but nothing regarding the profile of the hull. 

     

    I'm not a scratch builder, but I think I can do this as I am a wood worker and have built a couple of ship kits over the years.

    Thanks

      hello there,

       

         sorry for the late reply, but it's been hard for me to keep up with the site.  lots of life event changes.  as you might have read, the hull that I used was part of the group project I was working on.  I have been experimenting creating multiple hulls from kits.  the kit I used was the Billing Boats kit of the Boulogne Estaples.  when I was assembling the kit hull frame, I marveled at how close it looked to the Andrea Gail.  so when the hull became unsuitable to continue with the project, I modified it to look like the A.G.  it's all outlined in the build log........I had a lot of fun doing it :)   I had uploaded and copied the instructions for both Billing Boats kits of the Andrea Gail.  this way, I had more info on the ship.  the rest is history.

         the instructions for the Andrea Gail can be found on either of these websites.  they should have a place where you can upload instructions.

      the bottom one should be the home site.   if you don't want to go the route of scratch building, you can always purchase a kit.  Model Expo has them.  anyway, thank you for looking in on her and your kind word.  she was the second project, where I went nutz.  creative freedom

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.
