    well, i don't have the patience to do the fine workmanship and detail like you do, but i'm happy with them so far.....

    still have much more work to do on all of them but the hardest parts are over with...this is how they will appear...couldn't light it properly but i ordered some strip led's to go around the front sides and top which i hope will work well.....the minoan will have a colored tarp on top hanging down a bit on the sides...all guess work of course....i figured the platform on back was for boarding and there will be a couple of ladders hanging down ....guess they backed the ship on to the beach...i made the platform wide to accommodate this.... next the relaxing picky work....stress work is over.....

    looks superb....but the shine?........
  12. yancovitch
    wow never seen that before.....amazed that you had enough control.....good shew.....
  13. yancovitch
    this is how they will be displayed with a burgundy velvet background.........i removed the viking ship and am replacing it with a minoan galley from wall drawings at knossos.......working on the case for them to keep off the dust while i finish them......
  14. yancovitch
    yea, the dusek trireme is probably a nice kit, but i wanted to get it closer to the full sized replica in greece.......although my oar configuration will be somewhat different.... also the lumber will be a bit oversized, as my fingees would find it too hard to do scale ....... i had a hard time trying to figure out the trireme trust's plans...so again, it will be a close enough for jazz model .....
  15. yancovitch
    next step.....
  16. yancovitch
    ok...viking is done, but it is going to a friend.....hmmm...i think i'll darken the oars first now that i look at it.......i may build another, as i could do better, now that i know the in's and out's of the kit...or i may leave it out of the display altogether........haven't decided.... well the trireme trust's trireme is on it's way....the brain melting part is over, trying to decipher their plans......and a friend sent me the 3d printer oars....all 170 of them....al la prochaine
  17. yancovitch
    ha....you're sure a knowledgeable young fella 😀.......
  18. yancovitch
    thanks ej....will remove the viking ship from the display as they only sailed there once or twice and hundreds of years later....may try to add a minoan galley after the trireme is built, if i can find enough info..
  19. yancovitch
    oh my gosh!....that's too much! 😁....i have a terribly low self esteem....you're putting a cramp on my superior humbleness 😁
  20. yancovitch
    the immaculata of modelers......even the case is a masterpiece.........appreciation from a mediocre 😀
  21. yancovitch
    very impressive!! with a full set of sails.....
  22. yancovitch
    thanks man....lot of oars to make......a friend has a 3d printer and will print the 170 oars for the trireme....lucky me ......
  23. yancovitch
    ok.....getting closer....decided to add a greek trireme.....wasn't partial to the dusek's kit, so i gave the drawings from the trireme trust a try.....got some help from a friend who had just purchased a 3d printer, and he printed out the stations for me, and i made the keel out of oak...he will also print the 170 oars for me, which will obviously save me mucho time.... the dusek kit says it is 1/72 scale....but mine, the same length must be a smaller scale....will have to figure that out one day:)...have to figure out what color to paint the eyes....white is too stark.....most of the oars are done and next step to attack the sails and rigging...oh, and will darken the roman tower more greyish..hmmm...imitation marble or stone?...c'est tout for now.....vic
  24. yancovitch
    can't believe this just stopped....no explanation....maybe something terrible happened...hmmmm...
  25. yancovitch
    yea....nice to see some action......always looking forward........vc

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.
