    Far better indeed! I wondered how I would tackle this problem with their Cap Horn/Potosi kit. Now I know. Are these commercially available? Bill

    Ian, Looking great! Any luck yet with the railing? Bill

    As John Tilley used to say, you are truly making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Well done! Bill

    Corporate service to the customer isn't what it used to be. Oh well. Perhaps I could loan you the part for your brother to copy. Let me know. We can keep that idea as a standby. Bill
  23. Bill Morrison
    Ian, I did not see your response until today. Anyway, the part number in the Cap Horn kit is part 75 for the curved railing at the stern. The other two railings for the poop are 73 and 74. I recommend that you contact Heller and ask for the Cap Horn part. It is in production while Preussen is not. Bill
  24. Bill Morrison
    Ian, I will check on that detail issue for you. I also found Heller's website, which is up and running. According to their online catalog, Cap Horn has been reissued but Preussen has not. Given that they are virtually the same kits except for the one mast, that railing should be available to you. I have copied their "Legal Notice for you, including their email address: Legal notice Heller Hobby GmbH Erlenbacher Str. 3 42477 Radevormwald Germany Telefon: +49 2195-92773-0 Fax: +49 2195-92773-29 E-Mail: info@heller.fr Managing Director: Heinz Eng

    Chris, Your work is amazing, especially for a beginner! Please don't get discouraged; you are building masterpieces. I can't wait to see the entire collection together, even the Queen Mary . . . Bill

    Thanks for the opportunity. Bill

    Beautiful work! I am impressed! I especially love what you did with the lower hull plating. Great job so far! I once ordered the Heller 1/150 Cap Horn only to discover that no such ship existed. The kit is heavily based on their Preussen except that she depicts a five masted barque. The Flying P-Line did have a near sister to Preussen that was one of only a very small number of such barques named Potosi, so I have been building her as that ship. Your work is inspiring me to proceed with the conversion! Again, WELL DONE!!! Thanks! Bill
  33. Bill Morrison
    Chris, I am glad to see that you found her! Do you have the entire Airfix series of liners yet? Bill
  34. Bill Morrison
    I have read all three and agree somewhat, However, in the HMS Shannon v. USS Chesapeake battle, both ships were very similarly and evenly matched, except that Shannon and her crew had years of training and experience under Captain Broke, a gunnery expert, while USS Chesapeake was under Captain Lawrence, who had never sailed with or drilled his crew. Many of the crew were also new to the ship. As would be expected, Shannon won that battle in close to 15 minutes.

    I shall do so. Thanks! Bill

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.
