The United States was a passenger liner launched in June 1951 but didn’t enter service until June 1952. 53329 gross tonnage 1928 Passengers 301.8 meters overall length 4 Westinghouse steam turbines producing 240,000 HP Crew of 1093 My first step was to identify every part and sheet and compile a notebook with plastic sleeves to keep every thing organized. This kit has been on a shelf for 4 years. I was getting tired of carving whaleboats for my C W Morgan, so I started her about a week ago. Waited until the hull frames were in place before staring photographing. One reason for choosing this kit was that it is on card stock and doesn’t need laminating.

Started the model today. Think it’s going to be a learning curve to get it right or just looking ok, never done a card model before hope to getting experience to start a big one later on. Any tips or help would be helpful.

Greetings to all who are interested. here we go, my first build log and my first attempts at paper modelling. the full title of the kit seemed too long as the kit includes a second model: the destroyer SHEFFIELD. i'm starting with this one and using it as a 'throw away' so i can figure out how exactly to tackle this card thing that has so intrigued me. i will then move on to the container ship.

Well, luckily I haven't worked much on this ship lately, so I'll restart the buildlog as if I just began construction of this intrigate model. About the ship : She started out as a single-hull tanker under the name "Ché Guevara", however due to changing international laws (as a direct result from oil disasters with this kind of ships) she was refit to be a mobile refinary. The kit : The kit, or rather the booklet is from the Polish publisher "JSC" and there are lasercut parts available (which I also bought). The cover (of "boxart" if you like) The real ship (mind you, the kit is a waterline model) : The first few steps, what you see here is the underside of the deck : The topside of the same part along with the final deck layer that will fit on it : Starting on the aft superstructure : On to the bow area : The next level : Skin applied to the hull : Some more parts to the aft structure : And where I am now :

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.
