    Your Bounty looks very nice! Based on that result, I have little doubt that you will do well with Bellona.

    I can't remember the gentleman's name, but all or most of Orel's predreadnoughts are designed by one man, and he is prolific, which is why so many of the Orel kits have a common look about them.

    Started work on the poop deck.

    Finished the bridge deck today, including the dreaded cowl vents (**shudder!**).

    Hello, Thomas. That is a nice model. Your post doesn't state whether this is your own work or not, though I assume it is. Since this is a finished model and not a build log, the gallery is the preferred place for your photos. Cheers!

    Welcome aboard, Philippe!

    All the foredeck bits have been assembled and added. As you can see, the winch is about the size of Abraham Lincoln's head.

    Welcome aboard! Your model is coming along well.

    Very cool!

    Post pics if possible, please.

    The contrasting wood colors are the hallmark of kits made in Spain. Constructo made a kit for PdN at one time. We have a build log for that kit here.

    Very nice! Though I can see where the endlessly repeating engine start-up loop might do this to a person:

    Whew! For the price, it should be able to power a real aircraft! Looks like it will be a hoot to build.

    Looks great, Steve!
  15. ccoyle
    Very handsomely done!

    At one time I thought I had some ancestors from Pomerania. All I knew at first is that they were from 'Pommern', so it was a natural assumption to make. I later learned that they were from the other Pommern -- the village in Rhineland-Palatinate. A big difference!

    The bridge has been added. The kit includes optional parts for the bridge interior. I decided not to add these, because that would require cutting out the many printed bridge windows and then glazing them. It's a difficult task to do neatly, nearly impossible actually, and the finished interior would be difficult to see -- just not worth the extra effort IMO.

    Welcome aboard!

    Some aft bits.

    Wonderful job -- congratulations!

    Work on these small models progresses pretty quickly. Next we have the hull plating. I'm not completely satisfied with my work on this part, but as you'll see shortly there's a way to deal with this -- kind of. P.S. While I was trying to get the port-side plating on, the model popped off its glass plate, which actually made the job easier, thankfully. Next we start attaching the laser-cut railings. These add a substantial amount of 'wow' factor to the model and help draw attention away from less expertly done parts of the model. Moving forward, we install the inner bulwarks, stanchions, foredeck railings, and caprails. That's all for now!
  22. ccoyle
    Very striking!
  23. ccoyle
    Yes, it certainly does! Your 3D printed upgrades should spruce up the basic kit nicely.
  24. ccoyle
    Step 2 in the build sequence is complete, consisting of the amidships main deck structures.

    Welcome aboard! Your models look great!

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.
