Roar Ege - Billing Boats

My old Roar Ege model from Billing Boats. Well.. It is nothing special, I really don't like the fact that it is made out of plywood.

Don't think it was very common among the Vikings😆 Anyway, I remember I had fun building it!

Kronvold, you did an awesome job on this classic Billing Boats kit. 

 

On the plywood parts, it's really not noticeable unless you look deep down inside. Most people wouldn't notice, and frankly, it seems a small issue to me when I look at how nicely this build turned out.

 

I know it's well done when it makes me want to try building the kit too! 🙂  And, it does.

I built this one in 70s, the wood was darker and the templates did not fit that well. i am happy with the results and also this one by kronvold.

Hello!  Beautiful work on this build.  Do you happen to have the rigging instruction sheet?  My father built this several years ago and unfortunately, much of the rigging was damaged or fell off during a move.  I can figure some of it out from your photos, but the original instructions would be very helpful.  Thanks and again, great work!

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.
