Since my small collection of fluits (and some more ship types) left me for a new life in the Archaeological Museum Huis van Hilde in Castricum, Holland, I felt the strong urge to create another one. My house without a fluit seems too empty and cold :-).

Here it is. As always, the build of the paper hull was a breeze, took no more than 3 weeks, but the rigging is another story. It's long and demanding and I would surely skip the whole proces if not for the incredible reward of looking at a model that suddenly came to live.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Love it!  I had your Dutch merchant ships book and can’t wait to build one once my skill level improves a bit.  Thanks for all the research and resources on these beautiful ships!

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.
