Hi everyone,

       I am a long time resin and plastic ship modeler. I haven't built  a wood ship since I was much younger.  Being active duty  it has been just easier to move plastic and resin models. Now that I am nearing retirement I am getting back into wooden ship models. I have been browsing the various forums for quite a while, there is a wealth of knowledge and experience here and I am looking forward to any and all feed back.  

I just finished Model expo's  carronade.  Next on the slip way is  Bluejackets Grand Banks Dory which I am planning to do as a lobster boat (being originally from New England seems fitting).

Welcome to MSW, Chris.  Do feel free to start log for your lobster boat.  It's great way to get help and also meet other builders.

Welcome to MSW Chris.  Thank you very much for your service!!  San Diego....... Navy, Coast Guard or Marines?  I know the other branches are there but these were always predominant in that area when we lived in out there.   Loved going out of H&M landing for albacore or fresh water fishing at Miramar and San Vincente reservoirs.  

 

Hope to see some of your upcoming work on a build log!

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.
