    When redesigning, are you also to get rid of some of the historical mistakes Mamoli had in some of its kits? (e.g. the famous Friesland-kit, although beautiful, had some serious issues.) Jan

    Hi Ed, I understand the mechanism of the chain release, but how did they get these anchors overboard? Was there some kind of tackle, or.... I can't image they just worked them overboard, the risk of damage to the hull would be fairly large.... Jan

    At scale 1:2000 it is not your noice, but the air of our breathing. Jan

    Perhaps you should delete the other one. Is a bit confusing for some of us And when you are working on it: perhaps check on the little typo's in your title (unless they are there to illustrate how thick you fingers are, and how much admiration whe should have for you, still taking on a large project like this one ) Jan

    You thought you could start without us?? No way, we'll track you down. I would have loved the shipyard at Durgerdam, ofcourse, but as you have a Rotterdam connection, I can understand you don't want to build a wharf from the region of Amsterdam Knowing your love for detail, and working parts, I would have tried a more 'workable scale'. But we'll see how you tackle hinges at 1:2000 Jan

    Hi Cog, From what I've seen, it is two per ship (one on either side). Quite a lot of info here: www.sumwing.nl[\url] (unfortunatedly, dutch only) Kees: are you also going to attach the chains, or is that undoable at this scale? Jan

    4 or 5 coats to fill your imperfectione is too much: your model is not a house I use litte woodshavings to fill the gaps betwee planks. Glue them im place, cut off everything tah is above the level of the surrounding planks. Jan

    Guess again http://www.visserijschepenuitalphenaandenrijn.nl/sch-398 But perhaps I'm way off (at least, the name does fit, but the year is one year too early....) Jan

    Wild guess after a little search: Scheveningen and Alphen? Jan

    Ah well, i already thought it was small..... You did a very nice job on this ship. Actually, the ship might be obscure, but i like the lines and colours of the Kaiserliche Marine. Jan

    The item being a lamp ? Or is it 'your wife's ship' Musi? (for those of you who don't know Musi: http://www.rdm-archief.nl/RDM-NB/RDM-278.html ) 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.
