    Love how the main gun deck runs all the way to the bow! That's a nice improvement in comparison with the previous kits.
  2. Ronald-V
    Looks amazing!
  3. Ronald-V
    Will be nice to see this one come alive!

    Great job! I'm having a lot of trouble getting the pins into the straps, getting a grip on the head of the pin and then getting it into the hole without using too much CA...really not fun

    That's pretty oldskool like that...so used to ply lasered patterns these days . You have some work to do

    Love how fast you can "produce" models with card looking forward to see this project come alive!

    It looks already quite good with the 3d printed QG! Curious how it would look with the boxwood one
  8. Ronald-V
    Thank you! 🙏

    Nice clean planking ECK!
  10. Ronald-V
    That's a lovely result! Nice and clean presentation also 👌

    Such a beautiful piece Loracs!

    Yeah i'm not sure if I will use the depth numerals at the stern, it all seems to be getting in each other's way there. But I'm not quite sure yet.
  13. Ronald-V
    Well done! That will look great when they all sit on deck
  14. Ronald-V
    Looking good! The straps that go on the hull are a bit of a fiddly job, working on it now
  15. Ronald-V
    Are you going to plank the hull below the wales also? Or leaving the framework exposed? Such a wonderful project!
  16. Ronald-V
    That does look really nice! 👌
  17. Ronald-V
    Those lights look great!

    Thank you Frecap! That's very kind of you to say! 👍 And everyone else als thank you for looking in and the likes, appreciate it a lot!

    Okay, just a quick adjustment before F1 starts... I slightly countersunk the holes in the stern and it looks much better! Thanks for the help guys!
  20. Ronald-V
    Thanks for checking in guys...countersink the holes is indeed an option. I will look into that. And your right regarding that if in doubt now...it can be annoying later on.
  21. Ronald-V
    That looks so good!
  22. Ronald-V
    You're absolutely right, the problem is... the gudgeon pintle patterns are as far into the holes as they can go. So, in terms of design, this should be the intention. If I wanted the gape narrower than in the drawing, I'd have to modify the pintle patterns (probably file them a bit off). I think this is simply the difference that can occur between a drawing and the actual execution (including all the parts). So yes...your first statement applies here... Just wondering if others had the same result
  23. Ronald-V
    Does anyone think the space between the rudder and the hull is too large? It seems okay, right? According to the drawing, it should be a millimeter, and mine is 1.5. So it's pretty close. When I first attached the rudder, I thought...the space seems too large? But now that I've looked at it a few times and taken a picture, it seems okay (perhaps also a bit influenced by Blue Ensign, who thought the space was too large and adjusted it ) It's sometimes a bit difficult to see in other logs regarding the angle of the photo, so I thought...let me ask what others think. By the way, there is practically no space between the edge of the hole where the rudder fits in...but in principle that is not noticeable

    Thank you Theodosius! That's a generous compliment! 🙏

    Love the stained planks! Such a nice green

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.
