Started this build 2 months ago. I am up to painting. I decided not to paint it within its time table 1850-1900 but to celebrate the 250th USA anniversary. Please excuse the color scheme for not being historically correct. Since I am new to this website. I am about to start stepping the mast and add the sails. I will post my progress. Enjoy.

Test fitting the mast to the star in the fore deck to make sure the red foot base lines up correctly with the blue star. Also preparing to mount the hinged rudder after painting. Filling a small screw up in the rudder with Model Lite. I am using the center board access to support work on and paint the model. Please excuse my cluttered work area but it works for me. In the background is the  Armed Virginia Sloop by Model Shipways 1/48 scale. Since I am new to this forum I haven’t posted that build yet.IMG_2617.thumb.jpeg.a147e04ccefc58c04abdd854bc9899a5.jpegIMG_2638.thumb.jpeg.34df96d4c9fd802597d5bf096fde550f.jpegIMG_2639.thumb.jpeg.f436628971e6f065ab6ef04f3bc8d2c0.jpeg

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.
