    Love the oak stain you use! Looks great 👍
  2. Ronald-V
    You are making fast progress! Looking really good 🙂
  3. Ronald-V
    Same thing I thought! The angle of those close-ups are spot on!
  4. Ronald-V
    That's some beautiful work there! 👏
  5. Ronald-V
    Those look beautiful! Still in awe what can be done these days, even just at home
  6. Ronald-V
    Gets more depth with every layer 👍

  8. Ronald-V

    Great post as always Thukydides. Yeah I suspected that with the Marshall painting due to the similarities between them. I suspect also that the colors look more "vibrant" then they actually were in real life, just to enhance the model on the painting.
  12. Ronald-V
    Looks indeed amazing! 🙏

    Good post! Yes i'm in that sense not to strict, also not really a "researcher"in that regard...because with building a kit like I do, there are already shortcuts made. So i'm just choosing what looks most pleasing to my eyes and what looks convincing like a real ship from that era. And maybe it's pretty close like it was

    Are you referring at the figurehead? Because that is a resin/plastic piece with this kit, so that needs color anyway. I was more looking what colors the prow and rails need, because there are quite some variations

    This post is purely for inspiration and maybe someone else can find it useful too. Here are a few reference photos for the bow color scheme. These are contemporary models and the Marshall painting of the Sphinx, and there doesn't really seem to be a set color scheme, but rather, everyone has their own interpretation. Only the Marshall paintings seem to have some consistency, but that doesn't say anything at all I do like the color scheme of the Marshal painting and we have seem a fine example of this with Blue Ensign his Sphinx...so i'm leaning towards that (pictures are from the Royal Greenwhich Museum) Diana 1794 Marshal painting Sphinx 1775 Amazon class 1773 (not sure which ship) Second rate 1775 (not sure which ship) Minerva 1780 fifth rate

    Very fine work! 👌
  17. Ronald-V
    Such a cool little workshop! Love it!
  18. Ronald-V
    Love the photo's in the sun! Gives so much more depth 👏
  19. Ronald-V
    Yeah, that's what I thought... I'll probably order them for my Sphinx too. Although I'd also considered Syren's 3D-printed blocks. It's not quite there yet, so I still have some time. The advantage of ordering them from Chris is that I can order the whole set for the Sphinx right away. I love your close-ups! This way I can get a good look at them up close. 👍
  20. Ronald-V
    Are these the machined walnut blocks? Or the standard kit blocks? They look the machined ones?
  21. Ronald-V
    Chris literally answered the same question above your post
  22. Ronald-V
    That makes sense 🙏
  23. Ronald-V
    Looking really good so far!
  24. Ronald-V
    Nice bigger challenge for sure! Love it! Have fun on this new journey
  25. Ronald-V
    I agree with this...just sounds a bit weird to paint a section of the deck?

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.
