    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

    Nope, will not solve the problem (at least, it didn't do the trick for me) Jan

    INteresting perhaps, but I still don't know whether or not I like these French cruisers Jan

    Bow and tumblehome suggest a Frech liaison.... Jan

    It's not a bristol Chanel cutter? Jan

    Royal Charles was partly correct at the last one Jan
  12. 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

    It just requires some clever positioning of the finished model (all my models do have an A- and a B-side ) Jan

    I thought she was still in Utrecht at the moment? Jan
  15. amateur
    Perhaps it is another Royal Charles? Jan
  16. amateur
    On second thought, it can't be the Naseby/Royal Charles, because "we" took this of her stern:

    What do you mean by 'partly correct'? Do you mean this is one of the two names she had, or..... Jan

    Hi Remco, Just leave it at Kingfisher. There is nothing else to rename it to. And once, in the distant future, you will build a new one, avoinding all the mistakes and errors you made in this one, (presumably finding new ones along the route ) btw are you sure on the 12" difference? If so, why didn't no one observe it before? Jan
  19. amateur
    Yup, I thought it might be easy, but not THAT easy It is O1, even before it became O1: the shipyard buld it for own account (under the name "luctor et emergo"), and only after testing the navy thought it could be a useful device..... Jan

    OK, here's te next one. Jan
  21. amateur
    No, it's not. Its a French torpedo boat: Le Kabyle. Jan
  22. amateur
    Which makes it an early French torpedo boat. I'm on the hunt.... Jan
  23. amateur
    The thing in the background, is that the old 'bridge' in the harbour of Marseille? JAn
  24. amateur
    Which makes it Japanese or Russian Imperial Navy. Jan
  25. amateur
    WWI era German Panzerkreuzer....?? 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.
