    John McKay’s 100-Gun Ship Victory, of the Anatomy of the Ship series is the reference that I have been using for my own Victory build, which was a 1:98 scale Mantua kit. It has complete plans for the Victory. John McKay’s book is excellent and I strongly recommend it!

    Rob, Your clippers are incredible! Looking good!

    They tried to make them look like British warships as much as possible so as not to alarm their enemies/prey. It also helped to avoid direct confrontation with British warships.

    Eberhard, It’s a large broom used for cleaning floors (or decks in this case). https://www.acehardware.com/departments/home-and-decor/cleaning-and-disinfectants/push-brooms/1581016

    Welcome!

    Looking good! I bought a light table (tablet?) in A1 size off Amazon during one of their Prime days. It is worth its weight in gold for transferring plans to normal paper that can then be glued down to wood or card for cutting.

    Congratulations on the finish! Excellent work on a beautiful model!

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.
