    Hi Denis and happy 2017 to you and the family. Finely got a chance to catch up on all the builds that are going on. Great ship, the Thermopylae. I still have a kit on the shelf waiting. Mine is about 55 years old and a Revel plastic. Looks like you are having fun with this one and hope there is spot for me. Cheers,

    Good seeing you back in the shipyard again Remco. I fully understand other things getting in between like what's happening with me right now. Actually, when you get right down to it, wood is naturally "laminated" from one year's growth to the next. All you are doing is mimicking nature and knowing you it'll be indistinguishably ! Keep the mojo going my friend. Cheers,

    Hello Nenad, Sorry for my long absence to your beautiful ship but I'm caught up now with the progress. Very nice work you have done on the hatches, very believable. Beautiful addition to the family too Nenad. The ship's boats will be a challenge for sure. I also did a plank on frame build for the submarine O19 dinghy. It is 3 inches long (76 mm) so you should have no problem with it. I actually made the frames like they would do in the shipyard. You can check it out by clicking on link below, if you have the time. When I get to making the ship's boats for the VOC ship I'll try the plug method, seems easier. Gwen and I wish you and your family a very good and healthy new year. Cheers,

    Finally caught up with your outstanding build Patrick. Awesome progress. That silver bottom better be a saltwater protection coating because aluminum doesn't like saltwater very much. It's called corrosion But you knew that. Gwen and I wish you and your family a very prosperous and healthy 2017 with much enjoyment with your builds. Cheers,

    Hello Nils, I just caught up with your marvelous progress since my last post of Nov. 1. Many things have and are happening around our home that keeps me away. Not only from all my friends here at MSW but my own shipyard. Wonderful additions to your ship Nils, very impressive work, thanks for sharing and your explanations. Cheers,

    Hello Dave, I finally caught up with your magnificent build. What a beauty to behold, well don e my friend. I know, I have been awal for some time but thought about you and all the others often, just didn't have the time visit. Things have been happening that have kept me out of my shipyard and away from MSW. Wish you and your family a great Holiday season in good health. Cheers,

    Hello Denis, I also just caught-up with your building progress. Yeah, hurricane Mathew came in between with all the ensuing cleanup work. Like your ingenuity with making the different parts. The ship is looking great. Cheers,
  15. Piet
    Hello Nils, I'm back and caught-up from early October. We had a little setback due to hurricane Matthew but are more or less at a normal stage now. What fantastic progress you have made in these few weeks. Marvelous work and craftsmanship. Your model shines and worthy to be displayed in any museum. Cheers,

    Caught up with you Denis, been just too busy with "stuff" and no time to visit MSW. Great job on the railing and ship is looking fantastic. Cheers,
  17. Piet
    Finally caught up with you Nils, great progress and very realistic looking cleats and bollards. Love the deck chairs, brings back memories from a few sailings on ocean liners, to and from Holland to Indonesia. I'll try to stay up with your very fast work. Cheers,

    Lovely work Marcus. Cheers,

    he's beginning to look like a ship Hennie with all three masts installed. Smart, starting from the mizzen with your rigging plan. Cheers,
  20. Piet
    Great little tutorial on your mast hole jig JesseLee. That'll make life a lot easier for you later on. And a wow on the gratings, great job. Cheers,

    Well whata you know, feet for bags - duh - and other items, thanks Nils for clearing that up Now I can sleep at night Cheers,
  23. Piet
    Very nice miniature work Nenad. Cheers,
  24. Piet
    Snebbe? Is that Rotjeknor dialect for snavel, Sjors? Sorry, I have not kept up with the Dutch language evolution. Been gone since 1957 By the way, paint job looks nice, well done. Cheers,
  25. Piet
    Thanks Nils, now I know how they look but still don't know what a "bag foot" is . If I was looking for an American source how would I ask, is there another name I can use? Not that I need it but am just very curious. Acorn nuts I can understand but can be labor intensive. Cheers,

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.
