    What a wonderfull News. I was always a fan of mamoli. Especialy their choice of models. A lot of them you won't find at other ship model producers. I like especialy their models of french ships.

    A gun was never made out of brass. Only shipkits have brass guns. http://www.modelships.de/San_Felipe_1690_authenticity/San_Felipe_1690_authenticity.htmIs a good reference for spanish ships.

    Both sides planked and smooting them is in progress. Soon I can start on the gunports.

    Hi Tomasg My first post in this topic explains that the gunport template was missing from my kit. I contacted Mantua but they redesigned the kit and didn't used the template anymore. They send me a hand drawn template that was far off. On my last attempt I didn't use the vertical dummy gun columns but I build a wooden wall so I can put the guns anywhere I want. You cab see them in the second last picture.

    After a long, long absence on the forum I'm slowly startend up again. Today I went to the attic to get my model. This is how far I am at the moment.

    Yes. I now the scraping technique. I uses it a lot. I used razorblades. Worked fine. I also had good results with a piece of glass. Used.... because at the moment I'm not modeling butt soon I will start again.

    I sometimes grind down a (thick) nail to a razor sharp point and use it as a chisel.

    Yes the book was complete with plans

    I've just received Infield's "The Fifty Gun Ship" from were you get your build data, by mail. I was able to get it 2nd hand. It is a great book with lot's of good pictures and drawings. Some day I'm going to build the HMS Leopard myself.

    i've build the Corel Victory Cross section. That is a very nice model and much, much cheaper than the D'agostini one. I doubt if it's that much better. Edit: the D'agostini that is

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.
