    The crew has neglected her a bit ...... difficult to beleive that this ship, and that boring bit of plastic from post #13 are actually the same thing Jan

    Sorry, for the time busy with something else ;) Jan

    Nice little boat. Looks quite similar to the paper-kit V108. Are you going to spray an oil-canning pattern? Some of the pics show such an effect quite clearly. Would bring this little, slightly flat hull to life. Jan

    At first I thought you slightly misaligned the rivets on the tender. so I checkedthe internet. Should have known: not Danny's idea, but misaligned by the original builders The model is as impressive as the original. I think you could stage the model insuch a way, that it will be difficult to see the differencebetween model and original: Low point of view, nice background. Jan

    By the way, the standard way of doung this does not exist, but your way is one of the more widely used solutions jan

    Ureading your log, I already spotted it in yesterdays pics. ah well, every model has a good and a better side. Jan

    Thanks! Jan

    And will you be able to resist the urge to sit the remainder of the day next to your model: door open, door closed, door open and closed again? (I would not....) great fun reading your log! Jan

    What a beautifull model! Outstanding work, and a really nice buildlog to follow. forgive me my last ignorant question, but what kind of medal is lying on the pedestal? Jan

    Don’t overdo the colourdifferences. It is a small model, so you don’t want an overwhelming zebra-like effect Jan

    Yup, dangerous stuff. Btw Ever thought of using square dowels to pick the dirt of your cooking pans. (I guess they Work better than round ones) Jan

    Did the keel-rabbet sit in the middle-line of the wioden hull? I had sevre priblems getting the keel in the middle and square. My schooner is still sitting unfinished in my room.... (Started in 1991, but abandoned before rigging was completed) Jan

    You can almost see the little sailors run to their battle station! (And your hand keeps being unexpectedly large ) Jan

    Over here, there used to be very small wooden clothing pegs (actually intended to hang your chrismascards on a string). no glue whatsoever. I can't find a picture of them, only of minipegs that are ways larger (1 inch) than the ones I have ( .5 inch). Jan

    You nailed it! So much better than the first attempt. Jan
  20. amateur
    But as you gun tackles wont have svere stress, the method shown in your manual works fine, and will prevent uggly oversized knots..... the two ends that need to be glued are half hitched to each other, so no diffucult splicing or so. Jan

    Really have no idea why you replaced the ones from the kit The whole thing is starting to look like your usuals standards require: superb! Jan
  22. amateur
    The deck is a little bit too clean, otherwise you could almost think these are pics of the original. Your detailing is great!! Btw: it looks as if you do far more than cutting on your cutting mat...... jan
  23. amateur
    I understood that, but I tried to make the point that selling in a Dutch context, the price could perhaps be higher. Jan

    Nice bunch of models in that library. Don't think our library could find so many good models in progress in this region Jan

    It is not an unusual subject (at least not here ) It was (is) a famous ship: the personal yacht of Beatrix, presented to her for her 18th birthday. This kit was available i. The seventies ans eighties in almost all hobbyshops around, as well as other kits of authentic shipmodels. Decent quality for a fair price. Your Dutch market will be limited, however: most people who want to do this model already did it 35 years ago (and no, I did not build her, but it is slightly too large for me) 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.
