    And the original will be 4 mm too short to replace the nect one that is eaten by the carpetmonster Impressive ship/model. Seeing her withthe guns mounted will be another major moment . Jan

    Nice model. Reminds me of the O19 build by Piet Warmerdam (ages ago). Jan

    Looking almost real. I’m a bit strugling with respect to size. How long is the engine? Jan

    Are you sure this post landed in the intended location? It reads as the continuation of a build log….. Jan

    Airplane tutorials differ widely fromship-tutorials in many aspects. Both very informative though. Perhaps I read past the info: what do you use to glue those styrene rods to the model? Is that also the canopy-glue, or is that just plain white glue? (assuming you use plain white glue….) Second question: what do you use for the matte finish of your kit. I guess something from a spraycan, but which variety do you use/advise? Jan

    Mast collars that have no structural load? Try high quality paper: after a coat of paint, you really nead to know it is paper. Cheap, easy to work with, and very easy to drill holes: glue the collar to the mast, and drill. no idea whether drilling 5 holes will leave anything of your mast , though…. Jan

    Hms Victory made it to prototype. In 2020 JamesH started a prototype build here in MSW. As far as I know it was never finished. Prince and Cutty Sark never made it past design. This pic is the most recent Chris showed of Prince. See #15 in this thread: 11 years ago.

    Hi Yorick, Welkom, btw age doesn’t count Start a buildlog, and ask anything. There is always someone to answer and help you. Jan

    I second the suggestion of a pdf-version for future books. Shipping is twice the price of the book, importtaxes will be around 20% of total costs (book and shipping combined). Even a 25dollar pdf is far cheaper for me than a 13 dollar hard-copy send by Ups….. Jan

    I missed this till now. I will follow closely: beautifull ship and a masterbuilder. That can only become a feast to the eyes. Jan

    Although, I am not sure whether ‘fictional’ classifies as ‘contemporary’ But it is a nice model. Jan

    And to answer your first question: I guess it is rare (as it is old), but both navy and monarchy are not very popular topics for collectors. So yes, some people will be very happy to have this one, but the market is small. Copies of these and comparable cards fetch a couple of euro’ on ebay. Jan

    And it could also very well be the case that ocre put a famous name and history on a ‘generic model’. Especially with the old and famous names, every one wants to build a model of it, but hardly anything is known on the ship. The same aplies to eg the Friesland by Mamoli: they took a model, and fabricated a history. There is no overlap between the historic Friesland and the kit. Santa Maria and Mayflower: not models of the original, but of famous reconstructions fromthe sixties. So: i think you should take all claims on these models of older ships with a grain of salt. It is at best a model of how we think it coul have been jan

    I am not so sure that there are too many ropes on the Danmark. It looks like the old Billings-kit, with sails added to it. Rigging and blocks are out of scale, but I think it follows the instructions (Billings used to have downloadable plans on their site, no idea whether they still do do). the other thing is just plain weird if you ask me :). Never seen such a thing before. Jan

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.
