    As soon as you start asking questions on "to redo or not to redo".. we all know what will happen. btw: did your woodworms miss one little hole? (in the upper left corner of the gunport) Jan

    The only pic showing up on my screen is SS Irish Oak, but that is only a look-alike of this one, as far as I can see. Jan

    Irish merchant ship during WWI. Almost there.... Jan

    I think Eamon has other fish to fry in stead of recovering. He has to find a new ship to show us here. The brig in my picture was indeed ZrMs Pollux, Dutch Navy Brig. No real history, so apart from one or two lines in some obscure Wiki-page and this pic there is little to find on her. Jan

    Sjors will be happy (as we all are). Wonderfull detail. It really changes the appearance of your sub into a 'real sub'. Jan

    No I used to work in Utrecht, and from work to home I just passed this ship every day (at least, in the winter months). ANd last year a member on MSW was working on a paper version of the ship, and asked for a couple of pics, mainly of the details of the ship (especially because the scrollwork as build differs from the scrollwork as drawn in the plans) So I took my canmera to my work, and made a couple pf shots. And as there was someone on deck, I asked for a small tour around the ship. Jan

    Come on guys! It's not that difficult. This pic is all over the (dutch shiplovers) internet. (I have to admit, I halved it to prevent easy recognition ) Jan

    This is going to be very interesting. It is also stronger as the wood grain is running in the right direction. Utrecht has frames that are almost square, so sawing them in one piece will seriously lower their strenght, as at least one parft of the frame is cross-grained. Are you also adding the frame pieces that are in the 'real ship' to attacht the futtocks to the floor-parts of the frame? More pics of the build on http://veilinghaven.statenjacht.nl/het_schip/foto.htm (don't change the language to english, or you will loose all the interesting pictures ) And just to show you my pics of the actual replica: https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/UtrechtsStatenjacht?authuser=0&feat=directlink Jan

    WIki says that Mataafa was raised, refitted and was under steam untill 1965 I'll post a new one in a few minutes. Jan

    Blue or green are the most likely colours. Black and grey were not used. Merchant ships were just painted dark brown, the admirality ships were probably green or blue. Problem is: no written records left, and paintings are not too reliable to take colour samples from.... The model in Lelystad by Tomesen (Artitec) is probably the most documented. That one is in green. Jan

    After scanning lots of "SS Freighters great lakes", I came accros a certain Daniel Morell, which broke up in 1966, which is indeed not as far back as 1965 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.
