    San Felipe by newbuilder101 (Sherry) – Scale 1:96

    in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750

    Popeye: I'd give you the 'recipe' but I have a bad habit of just mixing colours until I get the hue I like. :rolleyes: I did mix a large enough batch though for any future use on the SF.

     

    Frank: Thank-you! I may have only done one other model before this, but I have more wood carving experience over the years - just not at this tiny scale!

     

    Edwin: Thank-you! "blue of a calm sea" - I like that, it is very appropriate!

     

    Mark: Thank-you! I am happy with these results, but have to confess, that there are several 'scrapped' sculptures in the garbage bin! I struggled with getting the left side to be a decent mirror image of the right. I snapped off arms, legs and dolphin tails as well! Couldn't even throw them in the scrap box, since the pieces looked more like dust!  :o  :D

     

    Michael: Thank-you! If I had the display space, I  probably would have chosen a larger scale to make the "small detail work" not quite so small.

     

    Grant: Thank-you! These details are much more fun than gun port liners - ergo, I am practicing procrastination!  :rolleyes:

     

    Bindy: "I am really lost for words" - actually you did find a few nice ones to say! Thank-you! I'm off now to look for sunglasses! B)

     

    Patrick: Thank-you! As I've already said, I love to carve. I am planning to carve some larger items for the ship's base at some point - maybe some lions and a Spanish crest.

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.
