Hi! A little update. Currently working to improve the glass material of the windows. Afterwards will have to repaint the beams in the great cabin and the part of the helm that is crossing through the cabin... Greetings Ivi

Hi! I am working currently on a webcomic based on fictial events taking place aboard this ship. Therefore, just like you mentioned the movie and TV crews, I had to "resize" the deck sizes, when they are shown. In the first post of me you can see the actual "real" size of the ship. But for the scenes below the upper decks I faked the size of the ship. Also, initially I made the mistake to built to big seamen for this particular era. My Seamen are about 1,85m high - too high for the Napoleonic era. 1,60 would be more comfortable... Greetings Ivi

Hi! I had some problems while working with the blueprints of the Vencejo. If the measures are absolutely right, then it would be impossible to use some of the guns, because the height of the deck makes it impossible to stay, to work and even just to normally walk around. In the great cabin you could only sit with your head down. Entering the cabin and walking around in it would be very painful.... Greetings Ivi

Hi! I know the story of taking the Gamo from Lord Cochrane. I tried to create the HMS Sophie as described by Patrick O'Brian and painted by Geoff Hunt. But the Speedy maybe the next project.... I have been told in an other forum about Napoleonic ships, that the knees I constructed within the beams over the main deck would not be very practicable on a ship of that small size. The most upper decks do not even have to carry guns here... I rendered a test showing the gun deck as seen from the front looking to the stern... Greetings Ivi

Hi! @ mtaylor I have the problem with the Stove that the Vencejo has a hatch shown in the plan in front where the stove should be. You can see the hatch in my actual render... @ JerseyCity Frankie There is as I know only one existing plan showing the Vencejo. The Vencejo is the fictional HMS Sophie from Patrick O'Brians novels, although he also uses characteristics of the HMS Speedy... @ Hipexec The HMS Surprise is a wonderful ship. Maybe will build her someday... I have added knees to the beams as you can see in this new rendered view. Would it be possible for the brig to have this beams and knees arranged like this? Greetings Ivi

Hi! Discovered this forum again (have been always registered here, but forgotten this) during my research to find out how to construct some details of the HMS Sophie. My problem is that there is just one commonly known existing plan of Jack Aubrey's HMS Sophie (former Spanish brig Vencejo) and the plan is not very good in every aspect. At the moment I am having trouble with the Brodie Stove (found no possible information how it could look like and where it was installed on the HMS Sophie). I took the Brodie Stove from the Spanish Frigate Santa Leocadia The second and more problematic issue is the question how could be the beams over the battery deck arranged? I found no similar ship to take a closer look on the construction. The ship was built initially by me for a 3D-Animation, but now it serves as the main character for my web comic project. This is the reason why I need a highly detailed battery deck. For the 3D-Animation this deck should not been shown to closely. Greetings Ivi

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.
