    Spanish gunboat Elcano (1885?) Jan

    Hi Sjors, A ship is symmetrical, so you know what's there Jan

    Yes, she is. Jan

    Ha, I killed the game Jan

    Permission granted! Absolutely realistic (only the stew and the cook are missing, otherwise we would happily belive it was the real thing!) Going this way, I guess reliable maps in the chart-room will be your next objective Jan

    as an illustration to the 'facial expression' I think I already posted the link to more of my pics of the ship: https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/UtrechtsStatenjacht?authuser=0&feat=directlink

    This is her at her second (and last) owner. In her early days she had different colours and even a basic sail rig.... Jan

    You have the correct type of ship, the correct period and the correct timing of the picture. Now all you need is the ships name Jan

    Dremels are beautiful, but also quite powerfull (too powerful in my opinion, I have a 40W minicraft, and it is well suited for most jobs, powerwise speaking) Do you have something like a X-acto or Swan knife (blade 11)? Getting your knife in from the outside of the hull, and starting in the centre of the gunport, and slowly cutting towards the sides. The small round holes: I would suggest a small round ratfile (search for naaldvijl in Dutch). slowly turning round and gently pushing inward, until the correct diameter is reached. Jan

    Bratwurst und Sauerkraut Oder Currywurst mit Bier Jan

    Sheer luck, it was one of the first showing up when I went looking for a "croiseur WWI" fomr France Something quite different Jan

    http://www.holtenau-info.de/history/eroeffnungsfeier-1895.htm So in fact, it is nothing more than a (quite pompous) restaurant. (but hey, its German ) Jan

    I can paste the link (using IE 11....), but I found a german site telling that there were massive festivities for the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm Kanal in 1895 (make a search for einweihung Kaiser Wilhelm Kanal, and quite a lot of german history sites popup) There was a park laid ouot for the festivities, and in the middle of that park, a mock up of a former German frigate (Niobe) was build as 'Festsaal' Jan

    The German Kriegsmarine was well into the steam era by 1850. I guess this is a fake ship, to remember the glorious past of the Kreigsmarine. One of our German members can perhaps shedd some light in this. (thr rigging looks quite convincing, btw...) Jan

    btw it is unprotected cruiser Cosmao
  17. amateur
    Nope, will not solve the problem (at least, it didn't do the trick for me) Jan
  18. amateur
    INteresting perhaps, but I still don't know whether or not I like these French cruisers Jan
  19. amateur
    Bow and tumblehome suggest a Frech liaison.... Jan

    It's not a bristol Chanel cutter? Jan
  21. amateur
    Royal Charles was partly correct at the last one Jan
  22. amateur
    Isn't it scary to go 'top-down'? in case of mis-allignments, there is little room for correction... Stacking the stern-decorations bottom-up looks safer to me... Jan
  23. amateur
    It just requires some clever positioning of the finished model (all my models do have an A- and a B-side ) Jan
  24. amateur
    I thought she was still in Utrecht at the moment? Jan
  25. amateur
    Perhaps it is another Royal Charles? 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.
