    Nice work Don. Lines look good; did you use your rope walk to make them? Well I have been debating what model I should build next. One set of rat lines per side might just tilt the decsion towards the Trabaccolo! ian

    Thank you so much for looking in and the compliments Hal, Simar, John and Nils. Much appreciated. It feels good to be finally done with this guy although I will say I enjoyed almost all of it. Now it's my turn to watch your build logs and continue to learn about this incredible hobby. Ian

    Thanks Don, She is thrilled indeed but I've made her agree to me helping her locate and mount it in her house away from her crazy snapping dog and whatever else might threaten it. Yeah and sorry about not including you on the memo . We will be in Europe for a real long one. The admiral will be checking out relatives, both alive and not and a large portion of the trip will be devoted to sites of military interest in France. Ian

    Good Day, This post marks the completion of this build. Although the photos have shown me there are a few things to alter, including the oars and oar locks and those unique eyes on the bow, I won't get at that for at least a couple of months so I am calling it now. I thank Don Robinson and Zoran for their help with my rather dumb questions. Other than the things I mentioned above, I am aware of the things that I have not included. If there is anything that I have done that insults this ship's tradition or you cannot live with Zoran, please let me know and I'll address it if I can. While this ship has been quite a challenge it has turned out to be my favorite build to date. I'd definitely build another MarisStella product. Cheers, Ian

    I bought the kit directly from Maris Stella in Croatia. They are an advertising sponsor of this site. The link appears to be broken but you can easily do a search. I think I should mention that it is definitely not a kit for beginners...just in case. Ian

    Sorry Rony, I can't answer your question. I like the poly because it is tough and protects the wood well.
  19. Seventynet
    I quite like it. I always wipe it on except where I can't get into corners. I use the oil base WOP. But beware, all glue must be absent.

    Hi Don, The only reason I will pass you is that I have much less rigging with only one mast and I am not putting the sails on. Just a word on that though. The pre-stitched sails that come with the kit appear to be first rate and if I had the time I would put them on in the furled position. But I will be out of the shipyard for quite a while starting on Saturday and I don't feel right about making my daughter wait for this boat any longer. At least that's my best excuse. Best, Ian

    Hi Rony, thanks for looking in. I used Minwax Wipe on Poly (clear satin) on all surfaces. Ian
  22. Seventynet
    Welcome Matt! ian
  23. Seventynet
    That gives me a good place to start Doug. I am not thinking of a scratch build at this stage, but who knows, I'm really just dreaming. I need to finish other things in the dock first. Ian
  24. Seventynet
    Doug, The piece, if it is still available to me, is about 4 feet long and about 3*3 inches. I think it would be enough. I've never worked with it but the one thing that struck me immediately was how resinous it appeared. That may be more of a challenge than the hardness. You need to tell me what kit I should buy? Ian
  25. Seventynet
    Thanks a lot Julian, I appreciate that. Yes I used WOP, 4 coats if I recall correctly. Ian

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.
