About Me

I`m a shipmodel builder, doing research work mainly in english Naval Architecture of the 17th and 18th Century.

I´m a member of the German guild: "Arbeitskreis historischer Schiffbau e.V." and also in the Editor`s team of our quarterly journal: "Das Logbuch".

At the moment I`m writing on a book about the work of the "Ropers" art of manufacting the Rigging for ships, called: "From Hemp to Rope".

My next project will be a 1:32 scale model of the Ship Sloop "Fly" 1776, starbord side fully in original frames, portside planked and fitted.

I also constructed a very silent but fast model ropery, making 4,500 turns per minute at the drilling hooks and about 1.500 tpm at the laying hook which has a reduction gear for the needed strength, when laying four-stranded cables up to 6 mm in diameter. With this model ropery, I`m able to produce every kind of ropes, from 0,10 to about 6 mm in diameter, slack or hard layed.

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.
