    Beautiful result! Well done sir!

    That's a very good planking for a first timer! Nice job! Personally I don't have experience with bending veneer edge wise. I assume it will be a bit trickier than thicker planks.
  3. Ronald-V
    Always tricky parts those large plywood patterns...but it seems you did a great job with it
  4. Ronald-V
    Really like the overall dull colored look...it gives the ship an old impression
  5. Ronald-V
    Agree! Love the whole ship pictures! The naturel colors are great, works very well
  6. Ronald-V

  7. Ronald-V

    Also the fatigue that the figure radiates, not only from the malnutrition, but also how he lets the sword hang next to him...too tired to hold it firmly...😅
  12. Ronald-V
    That's so well done! Congratulations! 👏

    Welkom! If you really like to have more answers about which ship would be good for a beginner, you should consider start a new thread for this. But it is always a bit of a difficult question to answer, because it depends how handy you are to begin with. I don't think you have selected really difficult subjects...and with starting a build log you get also help with questions etc. I think it's indeed important to select something you find interesting... that makes it easier to finish, instead of something you not really like. Also try to find similar build logs for the models you have chosen...you get a good idea skipping through those if something is doable. And yes...double layer hulls are a bit easier, because you learn a lot with the first layer, which you can correct with the second. And I agree with Palmerit his suggestion. Vanguard Models is really good in terms of quality but especially their manuals. But not sure if you like the subjects they offer. Have fun here! 🙂

    I have the one that Proxxon sells... but to be honest I almost never use it...it gathers a lot of dust, but not by using it 😛. But it's handy to have 🙂

    Welcome! And lovely little first model you have build! Well done
  21. Ronald-V
    Thank you Glenn!
  22. Ronald-V
    You're a cool father-in-law! How cool that you're going to make that for her. Good luck building this ship...again

    Thank you Frecap! Yes, I also had my reservations about gluing PVA to a painted surface. Perhaps it's also because of this specific glue that it grips well. I do try to avoid gluing to a painted part, but in some cases, it would save a lot of prep work if it were possible.

    Thanks Nearshore! 🙏 Thank you Kurt!👏

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.
