Thanks druxey... do you have any idea how to reach Austrian archives ?? Hello Cristiano ! ... I see that you know a lot about this topic ... Could you help me? First I should explain my intentions to You in entirely: - I enjoy reconstructuring historic ships of this our area, I draw plans (ship plans) ... my original idea, related to this topic, is to reconstruct several ships to connect the part of the history of this area ... they should connect: Venetian republic, Dalmatia, Istria, French and Austro-Hungarian empire ... they should be built in Trieste (alternatively in Venice) , or somewhere in this area ... I need at least one ship of the line (with as many guns as possible) and at least one frigate... and of course, I'd buy the necessary books and the like ... Do you have any knowledge of this? Best regards...

Announcing the Model Ship World Ship Kit Database Project
MarisStella.hr replied to SkerryAmp's topic in Wood ship model kits
hello dear gentlemen ... I'm interested in what conditions, the kit manufacturer must fulfill to be included in this "Model Ship World Ship Kit Database" ? I think this is very valuable, useful and interesting project ... -
Hi Nazgul... there are a bit less then 400 sculptures on this model ... and I'm sure you know that ... many modelers avoid Wasa because of this, unless they have factory-made sculptures ... I wonder how much time will You need for all of this ... very good job !

Bob, Jay, John, Alistair, thanks a lot ... Here are few words about the MarisStella kits: All structural elements are laser cut on lime plywood...all structural elements on the deck and sides are cut by laser on walnut wood (solid wood walnut panels)...everything else is made of walnut or oak strips and dowels ...sails are embroidered on the fabric -should be hand finished (sew the edges) ...instructions for building are in the English language (completely understandable ) ... all necessary ropes and fittings are in the kit...high quality wood ... ... precision drawings to the laser-cut elements is 0.01 mm, the deformation which makes the laser cutting is 0.1 mm ... elements perfectly fit each other ... ... some projects include photographyes of buiding phases, all of them you can see on the Web site www.marisstella.hr if you want to ... They are single planked, but some of them, as it says in the instructions, you can fill their spaces between the bulkheads with the soft wood and sanded the shape of the hull and then plank them, it is easyer to plank that way... This project, Stefano, is double planked... ... I just joined this site , so I do not know how to use all the options ... I'm very interested in the modelers opinions , especially the kit builders ... and of course, excuse my bad English...

Thanks Mirabell61...I'm really glad to hear comments and opinions... Clipper is more modern vessel then this barque... this is typical barque from the shipyard in Rijeka (1870-1890)(Croatia), slightly extended, ...a typical barque is 1:5, this is 1:5,5 (width-length)... This one was built for the shipowner in Dubrovnik (Croatia)... destroyed in the 1875 shipwreck on the coast of Australia ... All the information that we have are from the ship's log and from the shipyard in Rijeka... This is a reconstruction of the ship. ...and of course ... it was the Austro-Hungarian empire at the time ..it is the flag of this ship...

Hi Anja... I'm sad because I have not before joined MSN because I'd before instructed You not to do the mistakes that You made when building this model ... I want to tell You that You know in the future, for the next build: ...first make out the construction (connect the elements), set the base for the deck, so when You see that all is well spread glue with a brush to all points of contact between the elements ... then, sanding the edges. adjust bulkheads and plank the model with planks (always putting a plank on the one side, and the corresponding plank on the other side, so that You can always assure that they are placed equally on both sides of the model) ... then cut off the tops of the bulkheads (above the deck) and then plank the base of the deck with planks ... I would like to see your next work Excuse the bad English, please... P.S. please low the pics resolution please, I can not see all of Yours pictures too...

(Dubrovnik), it will have 11 or 12 sheets of dimensions 1300 mm x 900 mm , the model is 1221 mm long over all , I do the build log for it (named Barque Stefano) ...

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.
