    Thanks for the advice and link! Planking is so finicky, I wish I did more research before diving in.

    Here are a few photos from the slow progress so far. Made a few mistakes in starting the planking on one side and the rest of it has been a pain to make fit the frames. By this point I'm just focusing on getting them on as best I can and doing a lot of cutting and sanding afterwards before putting the second layers on.

    Starting my first log! This is my second POH ship and was looking to start afresh in my ship modeling seeing as my last model didn't survive my most recent move and I need a nifty new mantle decoration. Adventure is a "pirate" schooner kit offered by Amati. The last ship I completed was also an Amati in 2014 and I now recall frustrations from the vague details in the instructions provided. I rushed through that model, had plenty of very, very visible mistakes and only admired the finished product as it was my first. Luckily I found another build log here for Adventure that has been helpful, and I figured I'd document my current build here also to further the available info for future "Adventure-rs". I'm on break from school for the next few weeks so I really hope to get a lot done with the build. I've already completed some of the first steps (deck planking, first hull planking), I'll be posting pictures soon! Thanks!

    Just about to finish hull planning this model and am quite thankful for your photos! The instructions are certainly lacking. Great job!

    Was looking at some photos of a build I'm currently doing and entered through the rabbit hole of logs during my search and came across this one. Thoroughly enjoying watching your build! Gives me inspiration to log the work I've done so far on a much more novice model. Keep up the great work!

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.
