Completed Model of HMS Diana by JoTiKa

This is my first foray into model ship building after a scratch-built galleon I made at school some 50 years ago.  Diana took some 3 years to build and I enjoyed every minute of it.  I elected to include all sails in a furled state so as to not mask any of the detail.  A lot of the extra information I obtained from the books 'Anatomy of the Ship: Diana' and 'Rigging Period Ship Models' plus a few others and a few visits to HMS Victory at Portsmouth.

An absolutely terrific model, many congratulations!

I started to browse through the gallery this morning for some ideas for the anchors and how to rig them on my nearly-finished HMS Pegasus, and have just come across your pictures - just what I wanted!

Best wishes,

Tom.

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.
