    Hi Popeye , you have done a beautiful job , the Funnel looks great. You are right, Kit plans are Vauge and alot of the important details are left out . ( I am lucky that I have actual boat plans for my Buzzards Bay 14 ) Best Regards, Pete

    Today , Was a day of many Hats, I started by masking the deck and then spaying 3 coats of Flat white ( I did not want the glare from the gloss ) I then trimmed the cockpit Coamings, sanded them, and Stained them Cherry . Then I Started making the Pintles and Gudgeons , This is the first time that I have made metal parts ( I learned how to make them here on M.S.W. ) The Coamings have not been glued in. Here are the results

    Today, I finished up the Planking, Turning the Bilge on this one was alot tougher than the Buzzards Bay 14 . Overall I am very pleased with how the hull turned out. ( it was alot of fun to build ) I got started on the fairing of the hull . She is starting to look like Cap'Nates 12 1/2 Here are the results

    Thank you Rick, I am pleased with the results Thank's Bob, Yea the Simple white Waterline set her off nicely (It was My Wifes Idea to just Varnish the hull, she said it was a shame to cover it all up with paint) The Coamings and the moldings will be stained the Same Cherry as the Transom

    Thank you Russ, It took a while to get the boat masked, and I thought I better get a Pic of that. Hi David, I used Z-Spar White for the Water line . The Z-Spar is in a spray can so I shot a bunch into a cup and thined it down with some Paint Thinner, Then Brushed it on Best Regards, Pete

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.
