    sure would be wonderful to know if this masterpiece will progress........
  2. yancovitch
    oops...i stand corrected ....i had been looking at the kits from china, and got mixed up.......thanks.......
  3. yancovitch
    one thing i may add....i'm using basswood which i have left over from other kits, but i don't like having to stain wood or use minwax polyshades....it is so hard to get an even color....i even tried pre stain......so i just have to accept the way they came out i can't afford to buy nice hardwoods........all together i think they'll end up lookiong ok.......

    very kind steven......got the messy dirty gluey stinky stuff done....all the finishing should be relaxing work......that is until i start the trireme after finishing these.......will use plans from the trireme trust if i can figure them out.......so that's still up in the air.......

    added some decoration to the phoenician, and have made the storage seats for the viking....hmmmm...should have painted the innards of the roman flat black....pretty soon i have to figure out rigging which will likely result i my pulling out the remaining hairs on the top of my head......there's gonna be a lot of mickey mousing

    use the firs two...the little one is only 3/4'' wide or under 10mm....quite handy for small models ...cheers....vic

    just completed the planking on the viking ship.....very difficult to figure out how to fit the planks evenly ...i couldn't....but i don't think i gave it enough pre-measuring time..hope you can do better....lots and lots of measuring before gluing....get lots of tiny clamps like the miniature ones in the stationery store....and make sure you temporarily reinforce the first v shaped bulkhead at the stern....it will break very easily.......good luck

    what happened to the viking ship??

  9. yancovitch
    gads....this build is way beyond my ability or patience 😲....super...........
  10. yancovitch
    aha......
  11. yancovitch
    gosh ...lucky you.....we use a wood stove and a pellet stove, not to mention that i do my building in the house...haha...actually, for small stuff, in the living room so no case is no option😀......she's just soooo tolerant .....cheers.....vc
  12. yancovitch
    yes yes super dave.....but you gotta have a case.....i made one where the end acrylic slides up for easy access....works great....you could use glass if weight is not a problem
  13. yancovitch
    made some stands, and the greek penteconter hull mostly complete....ha...noticed i did the stitching incorrectly on the egyptian hull...should have been horizontal instead of vertical...c'est la vie.... will finish the hulls of the roman and viking before doing the finishing on all the ships....and then i'll think about the trireme..... how about this fellow Lodewijk Crijns from holland who sent me some info....quite impressive ....scroll down to find ship photos..... http://bennosfiguresforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18962&start=140
  14. yancovitch
    now you need a build log for your canopy 😀
  15. yancovitch
    hmmmmmm......it's amazing how many people start builds, then disappear without an explanation or a good bye....
  16. yancovitch
    yes...that's fantastic isn't it......hard to see how the thing can stay upright as the hull below the waterline is so narrow from what i've seen in some plans....
  17. yancovitch
    oh....only 15-18 inches......probably should have all been the same scale, but i figured that would be guess work, so i didn't bother.....they hopefully will all be in the same case, like a study of styles.......and there's still a viking to come....and who knows...i might go for a trireme too haha...vic
  18. yancovitch
    wow....that's an amazing source of info.......thanks.....will have to share.....cheers, vic
  19. yancovitch
    thanks...strange...it works now, but seemed to be jammed before...
  20. yancovitch
    haha....ok, ya got me.....will just present as i am from now on... looks like it's gonna be difficult to know how to secure the rigging....what kind of bits etc....will just have to fake it .oh....how does one delete the smileys?.....
  21. yancovitch
    kind of you steven.....so much guesswork....using your links...very helpful !!....and i'll probably keep apologizing for the mediocre workmanship, but i want to get these done quickly.... vic
  22. yancovitch

  23. 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.
