James H Thank you for moving the topic where it needs to be. I've been building models for a while but I have never joined an on line group. Please pardon the on line computer novice. Eventually I will know how to navigate thru all this.

Interesting, the hull construction looks pretty much exactly like my Bluejacket America (which is sort of languishing in the shop).  I did not realize they had other kits that followed the same scheme.  I'll follow along to see how you progress.  Have fun with the build.

Current Build: Artesania Latina Sopwith Camel

Hello, I am so glad to see this build log. I had an older version of this model and put up a build log before the crash. This was my very first ship model. It was probably a little too difficult for me, but with the help of the forum members, I built a pretty nice model. I finished the hull and deck furniture, stained everything and cut away the model from the original keel piece. I built the two masts before some family issues arose and I had to stop. I've started up again and have the gaffs, boom and main yard built. I expect to finish it this time. I'll be watching this log and hope you ask for help if you need it. And what I learned is that if I wasn't  sure that a piece looked good...I threw it away and built another one. (I am pretty sure I built some pieces 4 times.) Good luck with your build.

Glad you got back to work on the J.D. My biggest problem is learning to navigate thru this computer stuff. I also have remanufactured several pieces.

Thank you for offering to help. I will probable take you up on it.

Ok finally back to building. we bought a new house and for some reason the admiral  wanted new flooring installed, the kitchen remodeled ( including moving walls) and the whole house painted.  Not to mention a slight tour of the western U.S. for about a month. Now I get a chance to continue building the Jefferson Davis, new photos to follow.

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.
