    Congratulations on your succes Chris! Working on your Sphinx now...your succes doesn't suprise me when I see the quality of it in comparison with the more traditional manufacturers, but take care in managing you and your wife's energy
  2. Ronald-V
    That looks amazing! I really do like the change in colors of those beams...the white and the red on the sides

    Thanks Gregory, but I think I will go for the boxwood. How more I look to the combination with the pear the whole ship gets a nice warm tone in my opinion. So I think I will settle for that
  4. Ronald-V
    Yeah the pear would be for the outer hull of the Sphinx. I will look into the Holly and see how that looks for the deck otherwhise I will go for Boxwood. I Will send you a e-mail one of these days with what I would need. Thanks for answering already

    I think I need some of that lighter pear stuff...but my laptop hasn't got the right screen colors, so i'm going to compare it on a friend his computer. So you don't have maple in stock? I need some deck planking for my Sphinx...now I saw that Blue Ensign used Boxwood for the deck planks...maybe that's a option for me to if you don't have the maple. I think Boxwood and Maple are "yellow-ing" a bit the same over time, so maybe it doesn't even matter that much.

    Have fun with this great kit! I enjoy it a lot working on it
  7. Ronald-V
    Looks like a plan!
  8. Ronald-V
    Welkom!
  9. Ronald-V
    Agree with the other compliments....that is a lovely planking job!
  10. Ronald-V
    Congratulations! Fantastic result! Hard to believe it's just mainly paper...
  11. Ronald-V
    Fantastic! It looks so good in the natural light!
  12. Ronald-V
    That looks beautiful! So neat and tidy
  13. Ronald-V
    Thanks Peter!
  14. Ronald-V
    Thanks Rick!
  15. Ronald-V
    Man you are doing such a fine job with this ship in that scale! The hull planking is really nice! And good details overall
  16. Ronald-V
    Don't think it's overkill to tackle this ship in the way you do. Learning the process by just doing it, even on a little ship like this will help tremendously in understanding it and refine your skills.

    Thanks AJohnson...it looks neater than it was when I see a crack or seam, I fill it immediately with some glue and sawdust, so it looks maybe real good, but there were here and there some seams. And that's okay ofcourse...good practice this first layer
  18. Ronald-V
    That's sweet!

    Thanks B.E. And everyone else for the likes

    Thank Theodosius. I found those curves in my previous planking experiences one of the most difficult parts to get right, so this time I spended a lot of time to understand what happens there under her booty, instead of just doing something and hoping for the best
  21. Ronald-V
    First band at starboard side filled...gave it a light sand with a coarse grit paper...nothing close to finishing, but only the rough spots cleaned up. Now further with port side.
  22. Ronald-V
    Good to hear you are okay!
  23. Ronald-V
    That looks beautiful!
  24. Ronald-V
    You are really going the extra mile! Looks great!
  25. Ronald-V
    Tnx ASAT! Tnx! And everyone else for the likes

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.
