Greetings All, Where to begin...? I had intended to start posting my progress, but life got in the way. However I first must acknowledge all other building blogs for the Lynx - they did help steer me in the right direction. Shortly after I started, I had the bulkheads aligned with the keel; and had begun planking:

Hello all! Here we go again! After finishing Le Renard, I have decided to start the build of Panart's kit of the Lynx. I really like the lines of this ship with it's huge rig and raked masts. I will be continuing my Bluenose build, but have found out that I like to have two (or more?) projects at different stages going at the same time. This will be my first model with double planking, so we'll see how that goes! So here is a few photos of the box and it's contents. The quality of the lasercuts look great, with no burn marks, and no warping.

I started working on this model about a month ago. My dad and I FaceTime when we find a few hours to work on our respective models. I don’t have too many pics of it from the beginning and have finished the first planking. This is my second kit/build, my first being the AL Scottish maid. Mantua seems to not use as high of quality materials and I didn’t think that there could be any possibly worse instructions than AL, but here we are. I’ll be filling both sides in with wood filler today and sanding the hull down to start second planking this week.

Hi there folks Does any one know what kind of wood is best for the outer skin of planking if I want a slightly exaggerated (raised) surface grain. I intend painting my model (Lynx) black above the water but don't want it too smooth. The Lynx was hiding in the Chesapeake waterways when she was captured and I doubt she was done up like a show boat. Perhaps there might be ways of raising the grain a little after sanding??? Thanking you all in anticipation Don

My first foray into these foreign waters, a Build Log by Basic. After much thought and research, I finally decided to jump head first into the hobby and buy my first kit. (Hoorah!) To begin my selection, I spent quite a good deal of time going over reference materials, posts on these forums and advice given by some of the more experienced members of MSW (Thanks ladies and gents, you know who you are!). I came to the conclusion that the single, most important factor in selecting that all important first kit is this: It MUST be a kit that you find personally interesting in some way, which

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.
