    I have the book by A. Hoving and C. Emke and ordered the book by Gib as well. The book by Gib takes a long time to be delivered. So far it has been 2 weeks. Furthermore, I find it rediculous that I have to pay double shipping as I have ordered the book 'Message in a model" as well. So if I purchase 3 books one has to pay triple shipping. Once I have the book by Gib M. I will be making this model as my first scratch build. Will not show the insides of the boat, but will add sails. Marc

    I do this as well. Yes, lots of lines all over the place but I can adjust accordingly. Also once I have all the shrouds in place I add a drop of clear nail polish. Once dry you won't even see it. Marc

    I use progeCad 2013 ($400.00) Pro which is powered by the IntelliCAD 7 Engine. I used AutoCAD in the past at work but for personal use I wasn't going to pay an arm and a leg for that. progeCAD is a great replacement for AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. Bentley-Microstation is a bit overkill and at around $5000.00

    Great list, thanks. Marc

    It is on my book list. Seawatch has some of the best books available. I have 2 from them.

    I bought the kit from Constructo. This Constructo kit has lots of extra material, excellent CAD drawings and a color picture book with step by step instructions. Traded the model for a crown with my dentist. Marc

    Beautiful. Your details on the boat such as the chairs and the table, the doors with hinges and all the other details are awesome. Love the VOC boats and anything else from that era. Couple of months ago I bought a book from Seawatch books, "Retourschip the Valkenisse" I plan to build that. Marc

    This thread is AWESOME. I am drooling all over the details. The frames, the individual cabins, the masts, to name a few drawings. I do a lot of landscape design and use a 3D app. to make it look real for the customer (which by then it sells it self). But your work and creativity is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Marcus

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.
