    Hi Jim, That's a very nice and clean build, simply beautiful and well executed! I'll follow your build for sure! Frank.

    Congratulations Rusty, outstanding work, build quality and very skilled work of the warmest coloured Winchelsea in the whole group build! Frank.
  4. FrankWouts
    Pitching, and slippery...but there were lots of ropes to hold on to...luckily...😉 Frank.

    Thanks Steve, Bruce, Scrubby, James and the likes! Just take your time and remove a plank that’s not fully to your standard or liking. It may take an extra hour, but there will be many years you looking at it… Frank.

    Very nice indeed Rusty! It will be hard to accept any other quality, detail and ease of building when building other models from kits in the future... Frank

    Thanks Jeff! I had already lots of cups of tea in between... Frank

    Hello all, Just a quick update to let you know I’m still on it…planking I mean… Frank
  11. FrankWouts
    Beautiful bollard timbers Steve, wow! Frank.
  12. FrankWouts
    Beautifully done Matt, again! I hope your Admiral gets well soon. Frank.
  13. FrankWouts
    And no concrete and insulation under the deck planking in your Winnie I assume... LOL.... Frank.
  14. FrankWouts
    I'm getting hungry, again...what a very nice stove this is as well! Very nicely done! Frank.
  15. FrankWouts
    I rather like some color variation, unlike many other builders I know, It gives more variety to the eye, 'on every inch something should happen' ...furthermore, shipyards didn't sort their planks on color I guess, as they were glad to receive the appropriate and enough wood to carry on building I read in one of my many books on English, French and Dutch shipbuilding... Frank.

    Beautiful work Matthias! Hopefully no mice beneath those beautiful deck planks... Frank.
  17. FrankWouts
    Beautiful work on the deck Glenn! The bolts will look magnificent too, I'm sure! And dito photographs, wow! Frank.
  18. FrankWouts
    Beaufitul work Glenn! Congrats and please keep your updates coming! Frank.
  19. FrankWouts
    Thanks Glenn and Pete! Yes, I believe I’m the only Dutchman building HMS Winchelsea. Frank.
  20. FrankWouts
    Beautiful work on a beautiful build and dito carvings Pete! I’m following yours as well now! Frank.
  21. FrankWouts
    Thanks, Chuck, Edward and scrubbyj427! I'm already on my way with the second band, updates will follow after I finished it. Frank.
  22. FrankWouts
    That looks like a nice relaxed curve with no bumps or weird tensioned humps following your batten. How does it look from bow to stern looking throughone nearly closed eye? Can you make a picture of that? Does one edge of the batten follow the tick marks exactly and/or is it averaging them? Frank.
  23. FrankWouts
    Thanks James!
  24. FrankWouts
    Great Fix Edward! Frank
  25. FrankWouts
    Ted, what a secure and tidy way of working. Even in squaring, outlining and determining symmetry and correct heights on the bulkheads I've learned a few metheds for my next build from you! Simply great! Frank.

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.
