    Nils thank you very much for your kind words, thats nice of you. You also commented in my post in the Gallery and I thank you also for that. Am already making a short log video of Hermione and as next I already have a kit bought from Japan, Sir Wiston Churchill from Woody Joe, which I plan/would like to build according to the experience gained this past few years building ship models. It has to become my best build -I hope and wish-, although my great love -I think- will always be L'Hermione!

      ok everything fine

    This is the end! L'Hermione is completed! Started in March 17, it took 18 months. I believe, or I calculated roughly about 800-900 working hours. Its been a great pleasure and fan. The thing is: never stop working even a few hours a week. Here are the finished pictures
  18. MESSIS
    Anchors up in position.... and ofcourse the rear lantern is ready to be lighten up. Am almost there.... still some more crew figures to be painted (among them General Lafayette and Captain De La Touche) and L'Hermione is finished.
  19. MESSIS
    @RussR very well done so far... there are points in your work which I regret that I havent gave the same attention as you did! Keep the good work. @Warneradethank you... yes its a very good kit. I really enjoyed it.
  20. MESSIS
    So the crew is coming slowly on board. Some minor work is done and the anchors are prepared to be installed. We are waiting General Lafayette and the Captain. De La Touche before embarking.. Here some pictures of the crew... still is more crew to come.
  21. MESSIS
    @Russ thank you for your kind words It took until today 18 months and I calcualated roughly 800 working hours. I totaly agree about the dvd. I also prefer drawings. Am anxious to have a look to your Hermione... come on send me something.
  22. MESSIS
    thanks Peter thats very kind of you to say so.... and about your comment on the british ship.... hey, you made my day!!
  23. MESSIS
    Last sail in posotion. Mizzen top galand. Both Main and Mizzen masts have a slide turn towards port side and Foremast is straight. There is now a sailor on on the Mizzen mast looking if the british ship is still chasing L'Hermione... and yes it does!
  24. MESSIS
    Mizzen galant in position.... and just another sail and then end is near. Anchors and some minor righing work is still do be done.
  25. MESSIS

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.
