    So what? You' (we') re not in a hurry, are you? Son comes first ( I know, I've got 3 of them), the rest can wait. And so can we Time with your son is valuable, you can't pick that up later! Enjoy!

    Very Nice! Excellent work! An example to us all (to me in particular)! Any idea what your next build will be?

    Sounds like a good plan!

    Just wondering; if you change something in the build, to improve accuracy to the original plans, won't that affect construction of the kit later on? The designers may have altered certain aspects of the ship to facilitate the building of the model. so, one change in the plan might lead to other problems (which can always be solved of course)

    Nice book! I immediately ordered one myself! Thanks for showing us! Have fun building her! I enjoy following your progress. Great preparation for when I get to build her. Sail on!

    Mistakes always find room, some way or another! Almost creepy 😱

    Ah, too bad! Well, we'll just have to be patient and wait and hope for an early winter!

    Are you sure you're not confusing the nipper with a sledgehammer?(just kidding ). I find that with the Master Korabel kit the strips of wood are more easily handled and shaped than with the other kits I've had, where I had to put in more effort to get the wood shaped in the right way. On the other hand, the thinner strips get damaged more easily. Anyway, encountering problems and trying to solve them is part of the fun (I keep telling myself countless times)

    Ha, ha, I think you do know you're not out there alone, after all this time! We keep following and enjoying your build!
  31. Dutchman
    Thanks guys! Like I got the instructions with the Polotsk kit I bought from V-Hobby. I was just wondering (and wandering). All clear now!
  32. Dutchman
    Great! Good news! But will it be included in the box or do we have to download it somewhere?
  33. Dutchman
    Nipping the strips for planking works fine with me (don't squeeze too firmly, else they might still break!). But broad and thin parts like bulwarkstrips I prefer to pre-bend by soaking and bending with a heating tool like a soldering iron sort of thing. Works great!

    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!

    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!
  36. Dutchman
    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!

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.
