    Hmmmmm, Wikipedia pulls up the following picture for Aurora. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Aurora

    Hi Barry, Are you still searching for "Super Drawings in 3D. The Battleship Bismarck" by Waldermar Goralski? As I just noticed that the GPM site (http://sklep.gpm.pl/en/publishing/books/schips/bismarck-3d) are selling it now for 77PLN which works out about A$28. Of course shipping will be around the same again. Cheers Slog

    I think it might be the Russian Cruiser Diana? Cheers Slog

    Hi David, Looking forward to following another of your builds. Slog

    Hi Nigel, Just want to double check its NOT the Hyuga that Eamonn suggests. I found a photo almost identical to the one pictured but a 'correct' mirror image with the text; "The new, "helicopter-carrying destroyer", the Hyuga, is a 610 foot long, 18,000 ton warship that operates up to 11 (mostly SH-60) helicopters from a full length flight deck. Although called a destroyer, it very much looks like an aircraft carrier." Cheers Slog

    Hi Eamonn, It is indeed the RFA Sir Galahad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFA_Sir_Galahad_(1966) Cheers Slog

    Hi Jud, I like your current train of thought. Another hint; saw active service. Slog
  8. Captain Slog
    Okay, here we go again. Number covered over. Cheers Slog
  9. Captain Slog
    I believe its the Norwegian collier; Storstad after a collision with the Empress of Ireland which sank. Cheers Slog

    Well done Andy. Quite a history it's had. Your turn. Cheers Slog

    Hi Jan, WWII and yes a hospital ship. Operated close to home and also played a part in a famous engagement. Not sure if the photo is artificially coloured or not but the actual colours are correct; "Article 5 of the tenth Hague Convention of 1907 ("Adaptation to Maritime War of the Principles of the Geneva Convention"); white hull with a green band interspersed by three red crosses on each flank of the hull, white superstructure, multiple large red crosses positioned so that the ship's status would be visible from both sea and air, and an identification number." Cheers Slog

    Thanks Jason, Sorry David. This, I imagine will be to easy but here goes. Usual flag and markings erased. Cheers Slog
  13. Captain Slog
    Hi Jan, I believe it is known as Berlin class, 2 ships with an option of a third. But still can't find a name for any of the individual ships. Cheers Slog
  14. Captain Slog
    Hi, I am pretty sure its the Royal Canadian Navy Joint Support Ship (JSS) but can't find an actual vessel name. Cheers Slog
  15. Captain Slog
    Hi Jason, you nailed it. Your turn Cheers Slog
  16. Captain Slog
    okay here it goes. A different change of pace from my usual offerings. Cheers Slog
  17. Captain Slog
    Okay using only the clues given (I wasn't aware of google picture search until Captain Steve brought it up but didn't use it!) I think its Ben My Chree? Cheers Slog
  18. Captain Slog
    Hi Eamonn, you are correct, it is indeed the Carnot where every room has an ocean view! You didn't have to wait long LOL Cheers Slog
  19. Captain Slog
    Thanks Jason, I feel guilty as my last three correct answers were obtained thanks to Jan and David providing clues to point me in the right direction. Apologies gentlemen. I am going to stick with pre-dreadnoughts but I am guessing my next picture is probably one of the easiest in the game so far as it is so distintive but just had to post it. This has to be one of the most incredible looking warships ever! It looks awesome; definitely would be on my bucket list of must builds if it was available. (and 4 others but not the same class )
  20. Captain Slog
    Thanks to David pointers at country and type of ship, I think I found it. Is it HSWMS Altair? Cheers Slog
  21. Captain Slog
    Hi Steve, Love the heart and collar, looks great. How are the 2 ends loops secured to each around the mast? Cheers Slog
  22. Captain Slog
    Hi Jason, Is it HMVS Cerberus? Based on the 'tenuous connection' I have changed my guess to HMS Glatton? As I believe wolverines are also referred to as gluttons Slog
  23. Captain Slog
    Hi Jason, Stupid guess but is it the 'early' (pre-trafalger or something) HMS Victory? Regardless it is a beautiful model. cheers Slog
  24. Captain Slog
    Hi Ron, Looking very nice! The colours look great. Slog
  25. Captain Slog
    You are correct Dave. Your turn. Cheers Slog

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.
