    This post is purely for inspiration and maybe someone else can find it useful too. Here are a few reference photos for the bow color scheme. These are contemporary models and the Marshall painting of the Sphinx, and there doesn't really seem to be a set color scheme, but rather, everyone has their own interpretation. Only the Marshall paintings seem to have some consistency, but that doesn't say anything at all I do like the color scheme of the Marshal painting and we have seem a fine example of this with Blue Ensign his Sphinx...so i'm leaning towards that (pictures are from the Royal Greenwhich Museum) Diana 1794 Marshal painting Sphinx 1775 Amazon class 1773 (not sure which ship) Second rate 1775 (not sure which ship) Minerva 1780 fifth rate

    Very fine work! 👌

    Such a cool little workshop! Love it!
  4. Ronald-V
    Love the photo's in the sun! Gives so much more depth 👏

    Yeah, that's what I thought... I'll probably order them for my Sphinx too. Although I'd also considered Syren's 3D-printed blocks. It's not quite there yet, so I still have some time. The advantage of ordering them from Chris is that I can order the whole set for the Sphinx right away. I love your close-ups! This way I can get a good look at them up close. 👍

    Are these the machined walnut blocks? Or the standard kit blocks? They look the machined ones?

    Chris literally answered the same question above your post
  8. Ronald-V
    That makes sense 🙏
  9. Ronald-V
    Looking really good so far!
  10. Ronald-V
    Nice bigger challenge for sure! Love it! Have fun on this new journey

    I agree with this...just sounds a bit weird to paint a section of the deck?
  12. Ronald-V
    Thank you both! 🙏

    Thanks for your very kind words Ron! Yes the Sakura pens are really nice. I always used them for artwork on paper, drawing mandala's etc, but they are also great for modeling

    Great figures, Chris! Are the raised front legs of the chair where Aubrey sits (which end in his pants) some kind of reinforcement for printing? I don't mean this to be critical, I just found it interesting

    What a lovely build! Well done!👏
  16. Ronald-V
    Looks handy! Before and after pic?
  17. Ronald-V
    Good safe with the alignment of everything! Looks not easy...I just started with it, so going to take some lessons from this 👍
  18. Ronald-V
    It might follow the same line as the deck planks that will be placed on top? These also taper towards the stern.
  19. Ronald-V
    Welcome! And good choice for a first build! You can't go wrong with a Vanguard kit
  20. Ronald-V
    Looks amazing! Really nice work Chris!👌
  21. Ronald-V
    Learning experience
  22. Ronald-V
    Always nice to see you modifying stuff , this will be another beautiful one like all your work!
  23. Ronald-V
    I also used that Amati "form a plank" bender a lot with my build, I find it very easy and useful 👍 Lovely build so far!
  24. Ronald-V
    Looks much better now! Well done!

    Thank you Freecap! 🙏

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.
