    The life size lies in Saint Malo, France. I will definitely visit it in the near future! https://www.etoile-marine.com/notre-flotte/le-renard/

    For me it's only the 3rd model I'm building. But it works for me. I pre-bend the (soaked) planks with an iron or use a nipping pliers to shape it.

    I see that you have Zap a Gap glue. When I do the planking, I soak and heatbend the planks and use the glue, not the nails. It works fine. It dries very quickly. So I prefer using Zap to nails.

    Just don't let it be another 11 years 😉

    Hi, fellow countryman! I will follow your build with much interest, for I have this one on my shelf. But it will be a while though before I will start it. I have the Polotsk to finish and the Avos is on its way, which I will start on first, I think. Nice planking! I hope I will succeed in doing it right, because it is single planking I believe. The Polotsk and Avos have double planking, so one can easily cover up the mistakes of the first layer. I also have visited the Hermione in Rochefort (twice even). A great and beautiful ship! Sail on!

    You could furl the sail or clew it. It doesn't have to be spread out. I think I would. Just an idea... For the rest, I absolutely admire your work. Very inspiring (and jealousmaking). Thumbs up!

    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 😱
  35. Dutchman
    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)

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.
