    By its looks a fairly standard two-masted schooner.... Not much of a clue in the background either Jan

    boats, ships, floating or submerging things, sorry guys, I didn't want to offend anyone by my choice of words Jan

    Oh, now I see, It's the base for the upperstructure... That changes my question: why didn't you use this 'upward extension' over the full length of the ship? Jan

    Hi Piet, I'm a bit strugling: most frames suggest a normal 'tube-like' hull, but the aft frames have an upward extension: what is that for? I can see them on the frames-layout, but I can't relate them to the pictures of the sub itself.... Jan

    I used to be an addict to this game since 2009 Jan

    Next guess: HMS Bacchante (1876) iron screw corvette black hull straight bow white upper line along the deck three masted, fully rigged Jan

    Grrrr. now I have to go through all the HMS screw sloops or perhaps also the corvettes. I'm sure it is one of those late 1880/90's three masted, fully rigged and an (from this perspective invisible) funnel. Jan

    Without checking: HMS Dolphin? Jan

    I think the how-to is in the first pic. Looks so simple, but...... Jan

    Yes, for gold, yellow may be a better choice as a base. Jan

    That is really nice! Jan

    Seen any useless tools around lately? or perhaps: seen from the positive: any very usefull tools?? Jan

    Warping seems to be you major problem in this stage..... She's going to be a large ship. unless, you're much smaller than I think ( ), your model is quite a bit larger than I expected. I exepected it to be around a meter length or so.... I once saw a buildlog of someone filling in all the spaces between the bulkheads with some kind of isolationfoam, to make an even surface, and make the forming and planking of the hull easier, without increasing much to the weight of the sub.

    Nice! Or: dat ziet er mooi uit! Sometimes I think it's a pity that Billings has these ships not in their original 'working boat' outfit, but in their converted yachtlike outfit. It implies that the only detailing you could do to the kit is laced curtains (yes, definitely missing those ), while they used to be ships used for quite a lot of small business: fishing, but also transport of (small) life stock. Jan

    That's the one. Most Dutch sources name this ship as the Hydra. (but the ships are all very much alike) Build as river-monitors, in service long after there armament was adequate . Jan

    Corel should be ashamed of their own kits.... Both the lion and the 'curved ladies' are alos part of the Prins Willem- kit..... Why did you go for a yellow base colour for the lion? I would have thought taking red as the base colour..... Jan

    Greg, Remco will probably take this as a challenge.... Jan
  18. amateur
    you have the type of ship correct, but there it stops.... Jan

    Here's the next ship. As sources are a bit contradictory, I'll take any name of the class as correct answer. Jan

    In the line of tools that are not so useful: I discovered that the amati-rigging tools can be replaced by a few tweaked needles, and are therefore not technically 'a waste' but you could achieve the same result for less money. Jan

    Even better: become a grown-up and never use inches again Jan
  23. amateur
    She is better and better every day! I like your chainplates and ringbolts! Jan

    No-one will ever dare to build a Royal Caroline after this one...... Jan

    Glad you're back. Your model is fantastic! 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.
