    Nor will one publisher have all the answers either. Have a look at ANCRE's offerings for French ships. So, we have to be open to our choices and the research for them. Start "small" and add books when you need them (much like the gospel on tools....

    Not just a beautiful model but a very stunning display, Matiz.

    The one book I use for starting any research has been Historic Ship Models by zu Mondfeld. Usually it's just the starting point for a trip down a rabbit hold and ending up on my other books or on a deep web search.

    It seems that almost all museums are headed towards "minimal" displays of artifacts in favor of computer screens and "immersive" things like videos. So it's just not naval ones but many aircraft museums along natural history ones are doing this. Not sure the whole reason but some is probably due to damage by visitors wanting to "touch" them. Pretty sad, IMO.

    It does appear looking at the lower photo that the taller men were"in the middle".

    I just want to step back a bit and say the the carving in this topic is wonderful and also all the conversation about the methods, woods, and various bits of information in this area. Thanks for doing this and I'm looking forward to your next project.

    Looks pretty darn good from here, Greg. The detail of the water splashes and peaks are something most modelers never do.

    Sad about the launch but the ship looks fantastic and this has been a joy to follow along.

    I'm saddened to hear about this, Kevin. Dogs are family and for many, even closer in some ways. Remember the good times and love the new pup. The dogs know when we're sad and will help iwth healing though the missing them never goes away.

    Hmm.. scratch the word "jets".... my mind wandered a bit and for some reason typed that in. <sigh>

    I'd be surprised if after a few days firing they could hear anything. Not just tanks but any "noise makers".... jets, sidearms, MG's, etc. Many if not most of us who were in the military and especially combat zones end up with hearing aids.

    Hmm... secret weapon type rockets... a variation of the Congrieve? The timing would fit per Wikipedia.
  14. mtaylor
    Yes, definitely. Then just add posts for the the unboxing and building.

    An interesting but odd looking bird and very well done.

    I knew we could count on you to herd some penquins this way, Keith. Well done.

    Hi Micha, I really don't have an answer with those two models as I've never done one. I hope someone else can provide an answer.

    Micha, you might consider the three ship beginner series from Model Expo. It's designed by one our members here who's well known to modelers and will get through the basics of planking, and rigging in a step by step manner.

    We do have some folks here witth good libraaries and knowledge that might be able to help with plans such as @allanyed

    I tend to believe the term "boxwood" is very generic and used for many woods that are not even close to the stuff we want. I remember seeing a wooden box for soda bottles and being told it was boxwood because that's the wood for boxes. It was a plywood box for crying out loud.

    I can't help with the planes but many of us are using lasers (so are the manufacturers). There's so many now on the market in all sizes and power levels compared to a few years ago.

    Takes the breath away..... WOW.

    That may be something we'll never know. Family secret? Here's two photos.I found.... I would say that she was probably taller than him.

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.
