    Really nice model! Congratulations and well done! Looking forward to see you tackling the next one

    Very interesting! And yes it does look really nice, curious how it will look when under full sails
  3. Ronald-V
    Nice problem solving👌

    Welcome! And great that you start a build log...you learn a lot from it. And it's nice to have something where you can look back at your process of what you've already made.

    That does look really nice!

    Personally I would burn out of doing multiple build simultanously, but a lot of people here on MSW are fine with it So good choice of kit and I hope you enjoy this new edition for your starting fleet!

    I'm very curious how this project develops. The ship looks very attractive on their site, also the scale is nice. But indeed...compared with a Vanguard ship skeleton this looks...different

    That does look really nice! Eventually the maple would age a bit more yellow if I remember correctly, but in my opinion that would only look more beautiful.

    Lovely! I like the dark "inboard" colors, that makes the natural wood of the benches etc really pop! Nice combination

    Thanks! And it is really nice to work with...it holds nice sharp edges 👍

    Update: First curved band on port side planked. In advance I thought it would be something very difficult, but so far it has not been that difficult. Because I had already planked the hull this was easier. Also because it is 2 dimensional compared to the hull where the plank has to bend in 3 dimensions. Perhaps planking a curved deck is a good primer/exercise to then try the hull. The measuring etc. is similar. The caulking is a bit difficult to see because I had very lightly sanded it to try polish away the pencil lines a bit, but that also makes the lines less visible now (and the lines are still there lol). It will come to the fore later when I varnish it. It still needs a good sanding, but I will do that when the deck is finished. By the way, I liked making the hooked scarf planks on both sides. Now first continue with the wide band on starboard side.

    Congratulations on finishing! Another great build from your hands

    Lovely ship and diorama! The water looks really realistic! Well done

    You are a real Vanguard Veteran by now....wish you lot of fun with this new addition to your fleet
  18. Ronald-V
    That's a beautiful piece of art...they compliment each other really well!
  19. Ronald-V
    That's some extreme bending! Really cool to see

    Congratulations! Such a big ship is not an easy task to build, very well done!

    Lining off the deck...just pretending to know what I'm doing . It seems to be about the same process as with the hull. First, mark out the bands with tape. The difficult part here is to get them really symmetrical. This took quite some time, but I think it looks good. The curve it needs is a guess. I have a wide band of 7 planks on both sides and a narrow one with 3 planks that disappear at the ends in a hook scarph joint. (not sure if it's the right spelling lol) The rest now is the same process as with the hull...so looking forward how this proceeds I did notice a big difference with the hull that on the deck the planks go nicely linear from wide to narrow. And with the hull you had a kind of wave movement in some places.
  22. Ronald-V
    Masterful!
  23. Ronald-V
    Dutch yes!
  24. Ronald-V
    Agreed with Tom! And that nibbing into the margin plank isn't easy, you did well on that
  25. Ronald-V
    That cap rail at the stern is definitely an improvement 👍

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.
