    Here's a note from another Dutch friend. What a marvelous idea! It so happens I own the old AND new version of the kit. I still have some time to decide which one I will start first. It will take a while though before I start. Still working on the Polotsk. In the meantime I will enjoy your second build Sail on. I say!
  16. Dutchman
    OMG! I didn't know modeling could be this taxing for the heart! 😉 But seriously, everything fine now? Loosen the sheets a bit and reef the sails. We don't want you to go to Davey Jones locker yet!! Keep sailing on!

    No, please don't! you'll get there in the end, I can see that! In the meantime I (we) have a very entertaining build log to follow. It's almost like a mirror to me (only you get better results). Hold her steady and sail on, I say!

    I sympathise (regarding the dropping and searching of small parts and the headbanging while searching)

    Easy does it, Rambo! Take care, we'd like to see you finish the model with all your limbs still functioning

    Thanks for sharing the info! And that just moments after reading about the existence of a schooner called the Recouvrance of Brest (in a book about the Hermione), which ressembles the Polotsk I'm working on. How about that for a coincidence! Another reason to visit wondeful Cornwall (high on our bucket list)
  28. Dutchman
    Medium CA here as well. And I moisten (not really soak) the parts a bit before applying. Though that leaves almost no time to correct the placing of the parts. It sticks immediately!
  29. Dutchman
    Great news! It feels almost like a Christmas 2.0! Very exciting! The Polotsk has the same sort of flimsy parts. But I haven't experienced any problems (so far). Have fun!
  30. Dutchman
    Yes, I also make use of it. It helps, it's better than nothing. But the translation often make no sense. The machine translates literally. And that is not always the right way. For example: "I do not he can not be" what does that mean? It makes no sense! Still, as I said, it's better than nothing or Russian (no offence meant )
  31. Dutchman
    And the parts list? I'm experiencing some difficulty in finding the parts in the box and plastic while working on the Polotsk
  32. Dutchman
    So no problem there. Which english brigantine do you have in mind then?
  33. Dutchman
    Terrific! And I will watch and enjoy the log when you start!
  34. Dutchman
    I guess you could also use an electrical plankbender (which I happen to use sometimes to pre-bend the planks ). Maybe handier than an iron, which is quite bulky?
  35. Dutchman
    Ohwell....fine, either way. I won't be ordering it soon anyway (I think). I still have a lot of building hours to go on my current kit
  36. Dutchman
    By the way, I got my Polotsk from the same seller

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.
