Some men-of-war around 1660

First an English 4th rate: Lennox after Richard Ensor's book The Restoration Warship.

 

The first Dutch one is a 142 foot long ship, called Akerboom (Oak tree)

 

The second one is a 160 foot long warship called Alkmaar. Although several Alkmaars sailed for our fleets, none of them matches this model.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention. They are made of paper and card.

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.
