    I think this must be the most boring part of designing? At least... I started studying CAD drawing a long time ago. I lasted a few days, then I slowly died of boredom. But perhaps that differs from person to person But love the drawings!

    Really nice result! Congratulations

    Thanks for the compliment Frank! My intention was to just use etched decoration because I didn't quite trust myself to paint it freehand (plus the enormous amount of time that would take). But I never came up with it the way you suggest. I have to say, that sounds more plausible to try it that way than freehand. Besides, it would still be incredibly time-consuming, haha. I've also already installed the channels, which would be a huge obstacle to laying the ship on its side for comfortable painting... I don't know, but it's definitely something to consider! Thanks.

    I know that people who prioritize quality and accuracy will always choose VM, as you can see from the reactions in the forums. But you'll probably lose some customers who aren't so keen on this and who will opt for a less accurate, lower-quality model (and one that seems rather hastily assembled), only because they find this model available first. It is sad it's happening this way, because the development of a kit is one of the most enjoyable things to watch, but I understand your decision. 🙏

    Really love these outdoor photo's! The lines of this vessel are very pretty 🙏

    Wish you all the strength needed for your wife and you in this difficult journey! 🙏

    Lovely work so far! That deck looks really nice! Love the subtle weathering.
  28. Ronald-V
    Really love the colors!

    Great photos of the exhibition! I realized too late that the exhibition was on that day...so I wouldn't have been on time, but there were quite a few models there, apparently!

    Welcome! And a nice build already!

    Man...lightning speed! 👍

    Thanks Mark! 🙏 Thank you! They're pre-mixed colors (thankfully), so it's just much more convenient to have a large quantity on hand. I'm very happy I found these colors. Incidentally, I don't mind mixing them myself, but for these larger projects, it's more convenient to have some pre-mixed colors. Colors I use for the black are "matt metal black" or "Ironwork black" is it called now from Jotika/Admiralty colors. And the blue is "Tamiya Medium blue XF-18". I had seen them on the HMS Diana built by Beef Wellington here on the forum (worth a look)

    They look really, really small! Nice job!
  34. Ronald-V
    Thanks Nearshore! And also everyone else who gave a like, really appreciating it!

    To be honest...I just sanded much better then before. The first time I painted it (when it failed) I barely sanded it, but the second time I sanded it much more thorough, and also between each layer (the black needed 5 layers 😬). Maybe is pre-treatment the wrong chosen term. I could also use primer ofcourse, but find this with most acrylics not necessary.

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.
