    Kimberly, I did the model in your first link as my first ship in 20 years. I think it says 7-8 hours on the box.... i put in well over 40! I will post some pictures later for you but it was a pretty satisfying experience for cheap. I am currently working on the 196 Connie that you did..... I won't tell you how many hours i have into that one. I just placed the masts yesterday and hope to start the rigging tonight after work. I'll probably post pictures of that when I get it done. Hopefully by Christmas. yes, I work very slowly.... Good luck on your Journey, I know I am following along closely.

    I too am slowly progressing with this kit and am just about to fit the masts and begin the rigging. I made this same ship 23 years ago and remember struggling then. I havent don much modelling over the years but now find that I have time to do so. I've done a couple of small planes and a 9 inch pirate ship to brush up on my skills..... this is a fun kit as a whole and I look forward to the 1:96 scale Connie that I have on the shelf. Post pics of your finished product, I've lurked here a bit over the last few years getting ready to start modelling again and the folks here can point you in the right direction. THe knowledge base is incredibly vast.

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.
