I had a lot of fun on this one adding a fair number of scratch built details. The towed seine boat was an especially rewarding project.

Beautiful work on the model, and I love the glass waterline display. A very elegant way to show the entire hull and still visualize it in its native environment. Well done.

    You did a very fine job with all the details. I agree with the comment by Whitejamest on that glass waterline that lets you see how it sits in the water and yet still reveals the details of the hull below.  It just shows the details that can be done at the larger scales where you don’t have to just fudge a rough representation of them.  It allows the sails to appear more realistic as finding material thin enough to be in scale with the rest of the ship is nearly impossible when working at the smaller scales.  The fact that you included a figure at the helm also gives the viewer a good sense of the overall size of the ship.

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.
