    Yard work... Main, fore or mizzen? Jan

    How lasting is this stain? Jan

    without seeing the effect, I would opt for symmetry Jan
  4. amateur
    Ah... that explains a lot Jan

    Nothing wrong with that (you'll need to scale up the glass cage a bit, though) What about an upright position that is sometimes used in displaying the original barges? Jan

    Thanks! Looks wonderful, how did you design the wave pattern? Jan
  7. amateur
    that's a nice model! What type of wood is your base? (and how are you going to paint it?) Jan
  8. amateur
    Not accurate he says..... But it is rather convincing, even at macro-settings. Wonderful! Those smallchisels: are they bought, or selfmade to the occasion? Jan

    Did I miss the party? Sorry to be late..best wishes for you and compliments to the admiral Jan

    Nice! something quite different from the usual square block of wood with holes, or the star-like candleholders. Btw, the 'altartable' in the background, is that the table from your initial sketch we shouldn't mind? Jan

    Suggestion ral 2002 and 5012 would be close, i guess. Don't be temted touse the orange for the upper band, that woulb be incorrect...

    You might consider toning down both the red and the blue. Especially the blue looks too dark to me (at leat on my ipad) With respect to the red: modern flags are darker than the historic ones. That also suggests a lighter colour (otherwise you refer quite to the modern flags) Jan

    You should empty it before taking it home

    Not even going into a bottle? Jan

    Red striping in stead of yellow:)

    Yes, PvA doesn't hold too well on synthetic material. Jan

    Silly question.... Did you only stain the keel on one side, post the pictures in non-chronological order or are you building more than one of these ships ? Jan
  19. amateur
    Just wondering, how long would this operation take at sea, when the andhors are swinging around, the ropes are wet and slippery... Jan
  20. amateur
    I googled some numbers, and i agree, ral 3003 or 3004 come closer to what i see in the pic than the bs473.... Jan
  21. amateur
    Lookonthe bright side Kees: the Germans also pay in euro's for our overpriced cheese and tomatoes The red colour you added to the hull, is that (approximately) the final colour? Jan
  22. amateur
    When you look for the picture itself, it shows up at many russian forums, it is (as far as google translates correctly) a yacht of the Tsar, around 1865. Jan
  23. amateur
    That's a nice one! On this picture it actually looks as if the 'uncomprehensible detail' under the boat is the place for the topmast shroud Jan
  24. amateur
    One of those thi gs is below rhe boat, that would make topmast shroud a bit unlikely..... What type of rigging does this ship have? Two masted fore and aft? Jan
  25. amateur
    Can I hit the like-button twice, to tell you I really, really like the stern-carving? Version 2 does indeed look great! 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.
