    Incredible work, both on the Royal Caroline and the rest of your collection!
  21. GrandpaPhil
    I made some progress! The aft tower is complete except for the 47mm guns and the search lights: I have the aft bulwarks installed: I am working on the port side bulwarks and the aft ladders: The paperwork that came with the model would have you install the middle platforms first, but the middle platforms partially sit on top of the bulwarks so I figured that I’d follow my own experience and install the bulwarks first to save what I see as potential aggravation later.

    De Zeven Provincien looks amazing!
  23. GrandpaPhil
    Mark, I hope you feel better and heal quickly!
  24. GrandpaPhil
    Welcome and nicely done!
  25. GrandpaPhil
    Alan, Thank you very much! They have been a learning curve, but I am getting better at making them! OC, Thank you very much! Mark, Thank you very much! I am very happy with how this model is turning out! The upper deck has railings and an observation platform now! I’ve working on the winches that hang from the bottom deck of the aft tower. I know where three of them go, but haven’t been able to locate the other two on the drawings of the model. Here’s a side shot of the model:
  26. GrandpaPhil
    Very cool!

    Jeff, Very nicely done on the longboat! The sail looks amazing!
  28. GrandpaPhil
    Brushes will stain. Especially with a flat brush, that is just fine.
  29. GrandpaPhil
    Incredible work!
  30. GrandpaPhil
    Looking forward to this one!
  31. GrandpaPhil
    Congratulations! Very nicely done!

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.
