    some finishing details I forgot to post, flag making , blocks and cleats. Used deadeyes , small blocks and hearts from Chuck Passaro's Syren Ship Model company, but made many of my own as well.

    I then paused to take on my biggest challenge, which was to carve the figurehead. I estimate that it took me a total of about 70 hours to complete the four major pieces of the group.

    The framing started and progressed as shown, using a jig to hold the frames in position unitl I was able to add some internal planking for support and stability

    Hi all I started this model early in 2010, and wiil herein post some photos of her construction along the way. Having perviously finished my first scratch built model of Confederacy, I decided that I wanted to further improve my carving skills and felt that RYC would be the perfect way to challenge myself. After drawing in Autocad the interpolated frames and keel from Chapman's drafts, I started construction of the half frame blanks as per the attached photos.

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.
