    you achieved very good results although working on some wood parts (judging from the pics) seem to be quite of poor quality (like cigar box soft wood) must have been very difficult...... A nice boat! greetings Joachim

    Hello Thukydides, thanks for your metriculous work; the sizes given for the breechings in your summarizing table are given in inches of circumference, aren't they? greetings Joachim

    Mirabelle, thnaks for the pics. Interesting combination of anchor gears. I apologize for not having considered that as an expert you did your thorough study of all details of the vessel well before the actual build....kudos again. ;-)) Greeting Joachim

    Hey MIrabelle, very nice work on the ship and good looking smushroom anchor. In case you show (part of) the anchor chain, should it have stud links though? best regards and enjoy a sunny weekend in Glinde Joachim

    Hello George, I cannot contribute to your question of how the bowsprit was fitted to the stem resp. deck, but the pic here shows the dimensions of the bowsprit and other spars of the Bermuda sloop on plan LVII of af Chapman`s Architectura Navalis Mercatoria of 1763. The scale is given in Swedish, English and French feet. Maybe you are able to find the complete illustrated build log of a Bermuda sloop issued in Ships in Scale, if I remember right. Good luck Greetings

    I envy you your ample preesentation space for your superb models and the new workshop accommodating all your machines and tooling in one space and on the same level. Congratualations! salutazioni cordiali Joachim

    Christiano, I didn't mean to infringe on your artistic freedom in any way...of course follow your ideas! You're the master of your own ship.. Greetings Joachim

    Hello Cristiano, I refer to Allyaned's question, whether the hardware on hulls such as rudder pintles horseshoe brackets etc. were painted with white stuff as the hull was. Imho, these metal parts were always installed before the hull was payed with some stuff and nobody took the trouble of e.g. covering the metal parts or working meticulously not to touch the original colour of the parts or applying a layer of black on them later. These ships were fighting ships and nobody would waste time and effort in achieving "showlike" condition on parts below the water line.. Salutazioni Joachim

    Hello David, I have an ongoing POB scratch building project of the af Chapman English cutter based on af Chapman's plan. There I first cut the bulkheads without any bevel and placed then on their individual position according to plan with one face exactly meeting the line. From the 0 bulkhead the thickness of each bulkhead points forward to the bow resp. backwards to the stem. It is important to colour the true edge of each bulkhead and keep it untouched while sanding down to smooth the hull. Greetings Joachim

    Hello SilversaxMan, to keep brass shiny (after polishing and degreasing) apply ZAPON-lacquer either by spraying or dipping. It is quite thin fluid and so does not build up too heavily. Have a look at Wikipedia: Zaponlack Zaponlacke sind dünnflüssige, transparente Nitrolacke auf der Basis hochviskoser Cellulosenitrate (Kollodiumwolle), die in leicht flüchtigen Lösungsmitteln wie Amylacetat, Ethanol und Ethylacetat gelöst sind. Sie sind meist farblos, können aber auch Farbstoffe enthalten.[1] Sie dienen meist zum Oxidationsschutz (als Schutz gegen Anlaufen) von Metallen wie Messing, Bronze oder Silber. Zaponlacke sind ungeeignet für die Anwendung bei Eisen oder Stahl, da sie keine rostschützende Wirkung haben. Sie dienen daneben als Firnis sowie zum Lackieren von Holz, Glas und Leder. Der Vorgang des Behandelns mit Zaponlack wird zaponieren genannt. Zaponlacke können gesundheitsschädlich wirken und sind meistens leicht entzündlich. Ein ähnliches Produkt ist Nagellack. Sorry, no translation available. greetings and a happy year 2024 to you Joachim

    Hi Valeriy, may only fhe sound of popping champagne accompany your days in 2024! All the best to you. Joachim

    The white stuff question is troubling me too. Here's a paint and colour recommendation I've just found: JoTiKa Ltd. ~ Admiralty Paints, Matt White. (jotika-ltd.com) Looking at the original ship paintings shown above, I do not go for the yellowish hue of Vallejo RAL 9001 out of the bottle but give it a definite light white cream colour. But as said above, there is no reliable original and it's up to the modeller's eye. Joachim

    As for the rivetting: I came across the following on youtube in a very informative channel Blondiehacks where she shows the making of a tool for producing uniform rivetting on items of a steam locomotive:

    Never mind, it gives a good clue to the actual size of your superb model. Carry on! gretings Joachim

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.
