    Just got the 1/72 scale plans and booklet in the mail today. I must say I love the publications from Ancre. Hope I have time to build this after my La Belle.

    How long did it take for you guys to get the disk after ordering? Been waiting two weeks and no word yet...

    The glue I´m using is Titebond III It´s realy good, but as you say Mike, I should use less of it... I´ll try some light sanding and see if that helps with the stains

    Midship frame under way. Time to find a way to sand everything down to the right size, got a dremel but not sure it´ll get everything nice and even

    Just got confirmation that my pearwood has been sent from Germany. Internatioal money transfers are so painfully sloooowww.... Next week I´ll be ordering my Proxxon DS 230/e Scroll Saw. So in two weeks time the first cuts will be made

    This will be my first scratch build So after getting some books from ANCRE my choice fell on La Belle and the configuration it had under Cavellier de la Salle’s 1684 expedition. It is mentioned in Frölich's book as one of the easier ships for a beginner to scrach building. (We'll see about that...) Just order some pearwood from Arkowood, this will be the main building blocks for this model. I have some boxwood I'll use for carvings and decorations, later I'll order some ebony for wales, railings and blocks. In a couple of weeks (when my salary comes in) some Proxxon powertools are coming my way from germany. One of the big reasons for this picking this build is it's relativly nice size. Size of the model Length Width Height Hull 54 15 18 Model rigged 62 24 52 Links of interest: http://olivier.gatine.free.fr/modeles.html http://nautarch.tamu.edu/model/report1/ http://ancre.fr/en/monographies-en/30-monographie-de-la-belle-barque-1680.html

    They changed it back to ancre.fr Not sure why they changed it in the first place
  20. Nenseth
    Now that they have this fine new site up and running, lets hope they have some plans to release more books!
  21. Nenseth
    They´ve updated their site quit nicely Ancre

    I´m currently also building Oseberg and thought you might find these links to pages about the reconstructed ship interesting. They are mostly in norwegian, but they got some good pictures of the ship and its construction https://www.facebook.com/osebergvikingskip http://sagaoseberg.no/ http://www.osebergvikingskip.no/index.php

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.
