    Thanks David, I dont want to do as much sanding and fairing on the next one , so the profile needs to be correct Thank you Omega, I am pleased with the painted plank ends and varnished transom , I will still need to round off the top of the transom Thanks Jay, The Bow is fuller , and the stern did change as well , the original numbers got off somehow, ( I think I was to conservative with the bow section on the original ) I am old school and like to make the drawings by hand . ( plus I have no idea how to use CAD ) the new one looks alot better than the original, ( almost O.E. )LOL Best Regards, Pete

    It is Raining once again here , So finish work will have to wait. It was however a great day to re-loft the 12 1/2 , and create a new lines drawing with the corrections . I feel alot more confident going into the next 12 1/2 Build with the new plans ( the Scale is 3/4" = 1' - 0" ) Here are the results

    Today, I started by staining the Transom Cherry Red, Then apllied 2 quik thin coats of varnish ( we were in the 90's today so thing dried quik) ) after about 2 hours I was able to mask her off and spray 3 coats of flat white Krylon, as a barrier coat ,( sanding with 220 inbetween coats ) Hey I just realized that I made it to Captain ( That's pretty Cool ) then its only fitting that I worked on Capn' Nates 12 1/2 . Here are the results

    Thank you Robert, She is a beauty, This build has turned out alot better than I had hoped for , The only thing that is not Plan correct is the Cockpit floor , I raised it thinking that I could hide the radio gear in the bilge, as it turns out she is a bit small for raidio gear .However I will still take her Sailing . Best Regards, Pete

    Thank you Bob, Getting closer to Sailing Thanks David , This one is right on the money,( I have a full set of plans for the Buzzards Bay 14 ) When I was Talking to Geoff , I was refering to my 12 1/2 proto-type, The 12 1/2 is the Boat that I intend to do a 1 : 1 build, I am still developing the Plans, and have another model to do, once I have made all the corrections Best Regards, Pete

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.
