    Dan, you keep surprising us Jan

    Ofcourse he is

    That is correct: the inside structure of Dutch ships was comparable, as their hull-form was comparable: broad, bluff bow.\ Jan

    Btw did cutty ever had 6 yards to her fore mast? I only can find pics with 5 at the fore, and 6 to the main. this ship has 6 on both jan

    This thread is completely dead. Don't think you'll get much response here .... the pic is not in the list suggested by Carl, and the details in the pic are too vague to check whether it could be cutty. Jan

    120 is fast enough. Regarding most people combine driving with phoning, playing internetgamnes, checking whattsapp, facebook etc, you can eve argue that it is too fast Jan

    The one in the background also deserves a couple of close-ups! Jan

    Like sailor said it above: it is the background that tells you it is a model!

    As a birthday-present, its value can't be overestimated Jan

    Looks good. I actually expected a rather even coat of grey.... this looks a lot livelier Jan

    silly question: what type/thickness of cardboard do you use for the outer skin? Jan

    So, two people running a whi,e day likemad hamsters, to get one (or two) scoops up, and down....? how didthey empty thosescoops? Every timethe scoop was raised above waterlevel, they put a boat under it to empty the scoop? Sounds like a very time consuming proces....... Jan

    Now I start wondering: how did this machine actually work? I though it was somethink like the modern machines, with a number of scoops mounted on some kind of belt, but that wouldn fit on these large wheels, so.... could you explain? Jan

    Wow....it looks so tiny (it probably is...) that airbrushpressure might blow it apart..... Jan

    A bit late due to circumstances (wifi-less holidays), but congratulations on this very beautiful model! Jan

    Worth only for the seller, not for the buyer

    Try scanning the build logs of Cog, or RGL They are quite experienced in weathering techniques (and folding incredibly small PE-parts ) Jan

    Hi John, I scanned some pics in the net and in my books, and I thinkg the rings should be placed against the aouter hull, so the wales and profiles are to be inletted in the mouldings. So: in principle no open space behind te mouldings. (but perhaps I'm wrong, as I am by no means an expert on English ships) Jan

    Actually, for the simpler models, the kidsversion works fine:) Jan

    is that head carved from wood, or is it sculpted using some kind of clay? (either way: it looks very convincing to 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.
