    fantastic work with the figurines.... though in the past I didnt like the idea, now I believe it really gives life to the models.... Actually it brings out the historical charachter of the build in a cinematografiecal way. Am doing it now my self on Hermione as you may have noticed. great work Nils ,as we are always used to see from you! ps whats the link to the british side you found that great pirate figurine?

    She is beautyfull!
  24. MESSIS
    Yes it does my friend. How are you long time no see.

    They dont differ much Bill, The replica has some safety features like the safety nets and some extra railing on deck, she has anchor chains, no hull coopering, two water jet engines and the paint work seems to be different, though the AL modellers say that this is the original painting. But if you look other models,even the older version of AL the colours differ. And also the flag issue (discussed here earlier). Bottom line this model was designed after the replica it self and not according to existed period paintings or the time drawings (kept in Greenwich museum). Although we have to note that the replica designers/builders did had all of those in mind when building the replica modell and I guess they used them they way they did. I hope that gave you an idea.

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.
