    Hello Denis, it’s me again with my questions. I was wondering what technique you used for the figurehead. Did you sculpt it with the in software feature? Just wondering because I’m not that great at sculpting detailed characters/animals yet. Thanks and and Happy Modeling, Zach

    Those cannons look beautiful. It’s coming along great! Nice Job, Zach

    That would be awesome, my computer would probably explode though Happy modeling, Zach

    Hi Greg and Denis. I was wondering, will the 3D model be downloadable as a blend file at a certain price or will it only be pictures? Thanks, Zach

    Thanks for the advice m. I'll make sure to switch it around Happy Modeling, Zach

    I love the way you give the more modern ships a rusty, weathered look! It adds so much to the mood of the paintings. Happy painting, Zach

    I have been researching and studying the HMS Pandora recently and decided to attempt at building a 3d model of her. She's a beautiful ship and definitely worth modeling. I am currently working on the keel, and will be using various different resources (mainly the anatomy of the ship book) to build her. I'll attach an image of a quick scene I set up involving my gunpowder barrels and lanterns. This will be an arduous and difficult challenge, and hopefully I'll be able to see her through. I'm using a software called Blender to model and do my renderings on. Once I finish the keel I'll start a main log and post on there regularly (hopefully). Any future comments on inaccuracies would be much appreciated. Even though I love the time period I'm not super smart about the terms and parts of ship. I haven't really downloaded any textures yet and I should be able to use basic materials and roughness values to make things look like iron, wood, etc Happy modeling, Zach

    I'm currently working on a Revell plastic model of the USS Constitution. It's was a quick build, $20, but I have one problem. The plastic sails provides look very unrealistic so I was going to cut cloth sails out of an old t shirt. Is there any good process or way that makes the sails the same size and shape, otherwise than just trying to cut it and hope for the best? Thanks, Zach

    Ok. I'm currently living the U.S. I may consider buying one. Good luck and happy painting! Zach

    So this is the new project you talked about in your pandora build log. It's great to see your skill in action again. I just have one question. Is the Pandora also a swan class frigate? Happy modeling, Zach

    Amazing model Rich. I love that natural wood look. It makes the model look super realistic! I can't wait to see the final ship. Happy modeling, Zach

    Truly is beautiful. The amount of detail in her is outstanding. Can wait to see what you do next! Hopefully one day I'll get to this level of detail Happy modeling -Zach

    Thanks Denis. That'll help a lot. I've followed some of Andrews tutorials and learned the basics of blender. It's almost like magic how realistic some of the renders are. I'll probably take your advice though. I'm most definitely biting off more than I can chew. Still can't get over how awesome yours looks! Happy modeling -Zach

    Hey Dennis, I'm a bit late to this thread but I had one question. I'm also using blender, and have started to model the Pandora. I was wondering how you traced the frames from the plans. I'm a bit of a noob at the software. I know the half breadth plans (I think that's what they're called) show the stern and the bow, but I was wondering how you replicated them on either side to create all of the frames. Hopefully mine will look as beautiful as yours! Happy modeling -Zach

    Hi everyone, I just joined and I'm looking for the plans for HMS Pandora. If anyone has books that they are in I would love to know. I'm working on a software called Blender to create a 3d model of the ship. Thanks and happy modeling! -Zach

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.
