WOW! That's a beautiful model in a presentation style that isn't seen much these days. I love it. Please share more photos, if you can!

To the left of the triple-expansion engine is a period boiler.   The original ship was built of yellow pine.  I was trying to "model" that feel (and scale) by using boxwood finished with Watco Danish Oil

This is an exquisite model. I would love to see some photos of her construction if available.

This is looking absolutely fantastic! I second the request above about seeing more of the build process, if possible, please. Thank you!

Your model of the Okesa is truly phenomenal!  I am very interested in the steel "lakers" and am building two scratch-built ships of fiberglass and plastic. I am very pleased with the results so far but now comes the rigging. My ships are to 1:96 scale so are 33" long.  They are the West Planter and Munami.  The cargo handling rigging would be almost identical to your incredible model of Okesa.  I will follow your workshop guide as best I can. 

     Cheers,

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.
