    Just choose some models you really like, then you can ask if it would be beyond your skills (which only you know) but people can give some advise and directions. But choosing something that you really like is the most important thing in my opinion

    Love the little insight in your workspace 🙂👍 And such a fine, clean build! Really nice photo's!

    Your scratch build zwaarden are so much better then the (ply?) ones!

    Nice work! What kind of material are the figure sculptures made of?
  19. Ronald-V
    I agree! Very nice looking . Without the varnish it looks a bit like a white painted lower hull, I know it won't stay like this but the effect is quite nice now

    Who are these models for? They seem too big and complex for beginners (and certainly too expensive). But people who have already built a few ships often want better quality materials, more accurate scale, and something that resembles the real ship, without being overly simplified. When I first started this hobby, I also looked at these ships and thought...wow, I want to build something like that too! But then you realize you have to start with something smaller. As you slowly grow into the hobby, you realize that these kinds of larger kits don't actually look that good at all. They use strange materials (oak for the frames?!) and so much is scaled incorrectly and oversimplified. Okay...if the price were even remotely reasonable, but at this price...when you see what the new companies are making for this, how much better and more accurate it is with better materials. Why still use cast metal? So weird...and the marketing gimmick with a limited edition and a "special" coin (perhaps just to drive up the price). I wonder if the development team behind this actually has a passion for ship models, or if they're more interested in creating a "fun big puzzle." It's certainly not my thing...and so I wonder...what target audience is this designed for?

    Love the oak stain you use! Looks great 👍
  22. Ronald-V
    You are making fast progress! Looking really good 🙂
  23. Ronald-V
    Same thing I thought! The angle of those close-ups are spot on!
  24. Ronald-V
    That's some beautiful work there! 👏
  25. Ronald-V
    Those look beautiful! Still in awe what can be done these days, even just at home

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.
