    The three capstans under the boom don't look like they're positioned correctly?

    A snake turned into axe right there on your workbench.

    There are many German models from this time period of the Santa Maria and another undetermined English carrack but very few Great Harry models. It's well worth restoring for the novelty of it if nothing else. Howard, if you decide you don't want to restore it and want to sell it please PM me.
  4. Keith Black
    Howard, welcome to MSW. It's a decorative model from Germany made in the late 20's early 30's. made to represent the Great Harry, see the below.

    Tom, it looks like the aft hatch cover might be missing? Hatch is not missing. Thank you, Gregory.

    DJ, welcome to MSW. I like your dad's model. You've undertaken a noble cause, if I can assist in anyway please ask. Glad to have you aboard.

    POB = plank on bulkhead, POF = plank on frame, BB = battleship, YTB = tugboat, YMS = minesweeper, and DE = destroyer.

    Alan, do the plans show the supporting columns and their location? That was another of Mark's questions.

    Near the stove! Keith, the ladder turned out awesome. Happy New Year to you.

    Mark, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. The Elephant had a beam of 46 feet nine, the HMS Vanguard was also a 74 gun third rate ship had a beam of 46 feet ten. You could check out HMS Vanguard kits and her plans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Elephant_(1786) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Vanguard_(1787)

    I'm using Guterrmann Sew All polyester thread on my 1:120 project and it's a tad small. It may or may not work for you but one spool is cheap. https://www.joann.com/gutermann-sew-all-polyester-thread-110-yards-greens/2276160.html

    Gary , you made my day! I so enjoy watching your creations come together, it sounds like you're going for the "saying more by saying less" concept. I know it'll be exceptional, can't wait for you to get started. Happy New Year!

    Keith, the net turned out spiffy, best I've seen. Please tell your wife I think she did a marvelous job.

    John, I'd be interested in USS Navy figures from the 1870 to 1880 time period in 1:120 scale. Please PM me if your nephew is interested in taking on said project regarding price etc etc.
  20. Keith Black
    Sorry for the loss of your friend, my condolences.

    John, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Valeriy, I consider myself fortunate to have been able to witness your creation from start to finish. Completed, your version of the cruiser Varyag enters that rarified atmosphere of "the best of the best". Hopefully your patron shares her as much as possible and may she forever be known as Valeriy's Varyag. Thank you for the journey.

    And a cannon display would need one of these..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/125081192385?hash=item1d1f6b87c1:g:Dc8AAOSwZGNhHwz~&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoPvbKKugw%2Fo2lddk%2FrlcQuve%2FMd7%2BHJWs33H5Etz7qh7M7AXYbg%2FQEvPjV7pmhoPx1fF7gag9ejvqOdaHRIdcnDYKMNYllRAAXNWsMfnw5naexbZggkN1jorktw7NcLPR9R4ctykjrd6VXiXtIBl3VJcWiLsBwX0ZysvJKo4rv6yALNDtc80ipU1YcCDYD1ON9SNdxCKcFaDdgUDCEB5nGk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_z5kvqqYQ

    Of all the attributes necessary to be become a successful ship modeler, stubbornness maybe number one on the list.

    Phil, I hate hearing you had a shipyard disaster. It's hard enough without having issues/disasters arise that cause setbacks. It's good to see you get back on the horse so quickly.

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.
