    Thanks Russ. I would have "weathered" it more, but I like the way that it was coming out. I appreciate the compliment! Rob

    Paul, My compliments, Sir. It might be your first build, but it sure doesn't look it! Wonderful job! No wonder you are gaining an audience here. Rob

    Wow, never would have thought that...I steel ship that starts out with wooden planking. Neat! Doing a great job! How big is that boat?

    Wow, it looks like a model that the shipyard built!

    Howdy Ya'll, This is my Revell Mayflower that I have been building on for a while. I had this very same kit when I was very young, and I never finished it. In fact, I built it up just enough to fill it with pennies, float it out in our lake and then sink it with gun fire from my pellet gun (true story). Anyway, I promised myself to build it again and actually finish it. Sorry that it isn't really a build from the beginning, but here it is. Just started doing the rigging. This one is going to be a straight build OOB.

    Adam, Great job on both the Mayflower and this one. I enjoy the photos and I think you are a planking master now! Keep it up and.... Go Falcons! Rob

    Kirill, The model is impossibly-beautiful! I honestly have never seen anything like it. It is stunning, really. Rob

    Hey SiF, Looking good so far! I have the same model on my table right now. I think that you will really enjoy building it. I've just started the rigging. The book will come in handy if you want to super-detail it or add some goodies to the deck. I look forward to seeing this one completed. Keep us posted

    I feel a bit silly, but I'm finally introducing myself after joining back in 2013. My name is Rob, and I have been modeling since I was about 10 years old (43 years give or take). Nothing special, but I have done figures, tanks and sailing ships. I am currently building a 1966 version of the Mayflower (which holds up extremely well after all these years). I will post some photos, but my progress is slow (especially now that summer is coming and I have a lot of property to mow). I have read a lot, learning a lot and viewed a lot, and I can say that I have seen a lot of real talent and innovation in this sight. You guys and gals are really good at it!! Look forward to a lot more learning and enjoying. Rob

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.
