NRG Photographic Model Ship Competition - All eligible to enter - Reduced memberhsip fee - JULY 31 ENTRY DEADLINE ×

HMS COMPASs ROSE,

This is the large scale (1/72nd) model from "matchbox" of the Flower Class corvette, you got 3 options with this kit, British, American and Canadian, I chose a British, ship and named it after the Corvette featured in the film " The Cruel Sea) staring Jack Hawkins, this featured ship was The Compass Rose, 

These little ships were the backbone of the convoy system, there is quite a long list of ship names for these vessels and actually lists one called the compass rose, i had the good luck to get hold of some extra crew figures for her, i tried to make her look "weather beaten "as these were busy ships with little time for cleaning/painting etc. i expect many of you have seen the movie but if not i can recommend it,

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.
