    regarding the shine or flatness of the hull, i kinda imagine i'm a seagull back in time, flying near the ship and i try to imagine what it looked like from above, like someone looking at a model.....though i haven't checked photos of replicas of ancient ships to see how they looked....just an interesting perspective...........

    toothpicks could be a bit tedious...but then again, you're the master of tediousness 😁
  10. yancovitch

    sssssssssssssswhat i was waiting for....super duper!
  12. yancovitch
    so so wonderfully wonderful.....right up my alley.....gorgeous....
  13. yancovitch
    yea, some clear flat sprays or whatever don't work very well and almost leave a whitish haze...but i think some do work well.......it's mainly to avoid any plastic like appearance......i find that a satin spray worked well for me, but then again, that was on wood......anyways whatever you do, it will look super!.........smiley
  14. yancovitch
    as wonderful as it looks, my only thought is that i would have preferred a flat finish....but that's just a matter of taste.......cheers, vc
  15. yancovitch
    haha...very nice....i guess using fimo would have been a sacrilege 😀😀
  16. yancovitch
    what about fimo? ..............modeling clay...they have different types....bakes in oven....is what i used to make the sculptures on the royal william.....which although amaturish, came out ok........but traditional wood i understand....
  17. yancovitch

  21. yancovitch

  22. yancovitch

  23. yancovitch

  24. yancovitch

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.
