    Lovely work Igor.  I've got a Confederacy build in the future as my magnum opus.  These are best Confederacy carvings I've ever seen.  What is the cost your complete set?  Please PM me.

    3D printed decor for the Confederacy 1/64 . The level of detail is much higher than on wood, even on boxwood.

    Hi Mathias! It's something incredible. I think a new standard for the ship's model is being born, a new height that we will all strive for. Greetings . Igor

    This is different. If this sculpture were for a cello self-study course, it would cause justifiable anger. But this sculpture is intended for a ship model; at 1/64 scale, it'll be hard to see the fingers without glasses. And it's not hard to remake.

    Gerard, thank you for your comment. I am very glad that this work did not leave you indifferent. You know very well that such a ship did not really exist, therefore there are no historically accurate drawings. But the model, which is in the Rochefort Museum, impresses primarily with its decorative design. Many modelers would like to repeat this model, but there were no drawings that would allow this model to be built. The first attempt to make ship model drawings was made by the late Alexander Gerashchenko from Odessa. The drawings are not bad, but there were many technical inconsistencies. Two years ago I received an order to create a 3D model of the ship based on Gerashchenko's drawings and a photo of the model from the museum. It is clear that this reconstruction does not pretend to be historical for obvious reasons. Models of this kind decorate private collections, hotel lobbies, yacht clubs, etc. A second model is currently being built. There are fair comments from modelers on the correction of some points, I agree with them, I will correct. If you find time to describe the problems and discrepancies, I will be very grateful to you.

    This is a private order. My comment about the museum is a bit lower.

    Craftsmen from Odessa are finishing the Model of the French 3-deck 110-gun ship Dauphin Royal (1752). The model is being built based on my reconstruction.

    Matthias, this is magnificent, I have not seen anything better.

    It's finally time to return to a very old project. I started it over 10 years ago but never had the time or skills to finish it. Hopefully it's time to continue.

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.
