    Hi Bob, Great model you made!.... Nice details. I have the idea to build the Spray from Joshua Slocum also. After reading all his books, I see Joshua as my hero! I'm a sailor myself and sailing at sea for 30 years . What he did was, in that time, an amazing trip. After reading his stories I found lots of information about his trips, his boat and a very nice inpressive youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iciZer5cbJ8 So, i desided to build the Spray in scale between 1;10 or 1;15 ( moreless between 73 cm and 1.10cm ) in traditional bent framing method. Many drawings are availible on internet. After several photos I made up my plan in detail. And the Spray must able to sail with RC. So, the structure must be strong enough, mostlikely keperglass and epoxy inside. For sure I will make photos during the builing and leave some meassages and pics here on the forum. regards, Barend

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.
