    Thanks! Learning history here 😁👍

    To be honest...it's the first time I hear the term "Restoration period". Was your Revenge 1577 design from Amati also from this period? Or was this to early?

    https://www.trustpilot.com/review/premiershipmodels.co.uk Bit of mixed reviews on Trustpilot. It seems to happen more often there that they have models "in stock," but later it turns out they still have to be ordered from the manufacturer. Perhaps that's what's happening to you too?

    I wish I had experience with Shellac so I could give you a honest opinion...but only used WOP (home made, not the ready-made American brand). That said, I do like how it looks and the workability of WOP.

    I'm also starting to find it more and more difficult with all those little protrusions etc. that I can knock off, especially considering that I still have quite a bit of internal work to do, such as installing the quarterdeck etc. 🤞

    Not only a waste of time, but also a lack of honor for your work... something you develop and then don't put into production. I can imagine that doesn't exactly bring you joy in your work.

    Good interview! Nice to hear some insights and you did well Chris👍. Also fun to hear that you picked Sphinx as your favorite design 😀
  16. Ronald-V
    Indeed! Beautiful!
  17. Ronald-V
    A bit easier with the actual link to the video
  18. Ronald-V
    Very smart solutions! I like it a lot
  19. Ronald-V
    Well done! A milestone reached
  20. Ronald-V
    Phenomenal job! Love the whole appearance, and very neat work!
  21. Ronald-V
    Well done Kurt! She turned out beautiful! 👌

    Welcome Andy! That's an ambitious second project you've chosen! Good luck with your new adventure, it would be great if you kept a build log.

    And patience! With the shorter attention spans of the younger generation, such a slow hobby might not be so appealing. I think that changes as you get older and live more slowly. Plus, history often becomes more interesting again as you get older I think

    Yes to all questions...durations of soaking is usually 15 min. or so in warm water...just experiment yourself When you clamp the plank to the deck it's sometimes nessecary to use a little piece of scrapwood between the clamp and soaked plank. Because of the wood is soft with all the water in it, you won't damage it with clamps. That said...walnut is pretty hard, but personally I would better be safe then sorry.

    That's going to be a monster! Will be nice to see this Dutch ship come alive

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.
