    aha.....that's a bit of a relief.....hmmmm....i'm likely wrong, but the walls of the tower seem a bit thin, as ''they'' didn't have plywood in those days 😁...but maybe they are to scale........hmmmm.....

    so wonderful to watch this build....gads...i could remove those blocks on the tower one by one, they're so clean.....such patience and attention to detail i never had.....amazing i still have my own teeth 😁

    super ian............ha...i never knew how to paint the tower...grey bricks...white?...wood....i ended up with light grey i think

    ouch....get those pushups going!!......that's why i thought of an external ballast, where also, the lower center of gravity insures that less weight is needed to stabilize the ship....but i was mainly thinking about your arms and back 😁......1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8---................ha, fold up oars could be possible, where little sleaves pull back to let the hinged oars go vertical 😁....ha....my 8 foot couronne only weighed 35-40lbs without ballast.....really will enjoy watching this one...............
  6. yancovitch

    ach....3d printing......if i only had the brains .....if i only had the bucks........hah...even if i had them....too old now .......if i could, i would build a 10ft. r/c model of hms prince 😁 such a wonderful job you're doing on this ship.......immaculate, compared to my trial and error type building.......you must have wonderful tools and workshop along with your inspired intelligence......... on ww-1 model r/c aircraft, recordings are available of various eg. real rotary engines looped, to place in the model......you could have a recording of the grunts and groanes accompanying the beating drum or anvil or whatever on your ship..and maybe add a piercing scream now and then ...funny how we so often can laugh at adversity....to me, it's proof of life after death 😀............would be a piece of cake for you ....congrats!!..........vic

  14. yancovitch
    absolutely.....ha........yesterday, my couronne ended up in a hotel lobby in prince rupert bc.....better than rotting away in someone's basement, which is where it was.....six hour journey each way......no more piano no more boats now.....officially retired😁
  15. yancovitch
    hey.....it's not our fault!😁
  16. yancovitch
    ha....how about securing the cotton-spandex? sail at four corners horizontally, laying saran wrap over it and filling it with some light-weight sand like material, so it will stretch on two...hmmm i guess three planes, then coating the sail with starch, thinned white glue...etc etc.....ha.....probably not the answer, but food for thought 😀
  17. yancovitch
    is this going to be an admiralty ship model, or fully rigged........sails...no sails?
  18. yancovitch
    how about Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

  21. yancovitch
    yep yep and yep!
  22. yancovitch
    hmmmm....the stock horses, though refined, look like dead representations of horses galloping......yours look like they're being chased by wolves, and could gallop right out of the back plate ....much like the painting....guess there's art which has a visual appeal, then there's art which has a visual and emotional appeal........
  23. yancovitch
    curiosity....how long did it take you to carve them with your perfectly manicured fingers 🙂
  24. yancovitch
    and hope yer health stays strong!..........vic

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.
