    Display stand / Finished Pictures I used white oak and bloodwood for the stand and my pool table for the photos background. The Fubbs Stern Section was the largest section model I have made, three months from start to finish was possible due to the precision parts in the kit by Mike Shanks and the artwork by Jodie.

    Mizzen Mast, Channels and Lantern The last remaining items were added to the model. The display stand will be next. Progress photos:

    Port Carvings. Progress photos:

    All the carvings are CNC carved boxwood. This is a few photos of the starboard installation.

    Stern Décor. The stern decorations were easy to install after a few hours of cleaning and painting. This is a few photos of the stern décor.

    Hi Navarcus, this looks a little off topic maybe you posted it in the wrong place.

    Bulkhead Break Cap Rail I made some minor to the poop deck cap rail and added access stairs to the poop deck. Progress photos.
  30. Mike 41
    Thanks, Mugje! The kit contained a large variety of woods that makes the model colorful.
  31. Mike 41
    Cap Rail and Bulkhead Break The cap rail with gold molding was added next. The bulkhead break pieces were precision laser cut and fit very well.
  32. Mike 41
    Poop Deck lining, Hull painting. I used Myrtle wood for the lining and dark blue paint for the hull painting. Progress photos.
  33. Mike 41
    Tiller This is a few photos of the tiller installation.
  34. Mike 41
    Rudder The rudder consists of five CNC cut pieces that fit very well together very well. The rudder and stern post needed to be beveled at 45 degrees and the top of the rudder needed to be trimmed and shaped at the poop deck. Progress photos.
  35. Mike 41
    Settee The settee was built next. The construction is fairly simple. This is a few photos of the assembly.

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.
