Ok I think I am ready to dive in. I have read the manual and had a good look at the plans. Templates cut wood strips and blocks sorted and labelled. I also made a kind of template for the station lines on a piece of masking tape. Simplifies the marks instead of all of the lines on the plans. Next step is to make a block to attach to the deck so I can put it in a vice. Which I just ordered from Amazon. Then start marking station lines, rabbet line and waterline.

It is a beautiful ship. Enjoy the build!

Thank you. I am not sure about this solid hull so far. Wouldn't take much to go to far with no return.

I’m just finishing mine (which I started about 15 years ago).

I don’t know how much help I can be, but I’ll enjoying watching!

Please ask if I can be of assistance!

Thanks!

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.
