    Bob, That looks like the figurehead on the Golden Hinde replica in London. Your Golden Hinde is looking great! Also, I’m glad to hear that your arm is feeling better!

    Absolutely amazing work, Greg!

    I have made more progress on the secondary battery: And here they are now: I discovered a series of games called “Bioshock” and played them all the way through. I greatly enjoy the steampunk and diesel punk genres of science fiction. I think that is closely related to why I like ironclads, transition era warships and predreadnoughts so much.

    Thank you all very much for the comments, the likes, and just for stopping by! OC, thank you very much for the picture! That answered the question I had about the fueling position on the boom pod window and the boom itself! The overall dimensions will be around 51” long by 49” across! I set it up in a spare storage room because of the size of the model. Here is what has been printed so far: I apologize for the quality of the picture, my camera isn’t that great. Here are some closer pictures of the pieces: Since I was in the storage room anyway… Here is the Victory still in Ordinary: I still have it. And it might get finished one of these years. It took some minor damage during my last move. Here is a centerline fuel drop tank from that 1/48 B-58 Hustler that I built a while back. This will become Jules Verne’s Nautilus built after the description from the book. The dimensions and shape are perfect! It even has the beginnings of the platform! I think that it would be a relatively quick build, but things never turn out that easy and I need to finish what is currently actively in work before I begin another project.

    Glen, I personally like the stone base. I believe it offsets the bonsai base.

    Alan, Thank you very much! I am very happy with how they turned out! Mark, Thank you very much! The Oryol is going to make an impressive addition to my display case! The secondary battery is going together quite nicely: Using a mousepad for rolling gun barrels is definitely paying off.

    I decided to build the Mercury as the HMS Nemesis, built a year later in the same series of ships. The Nemesis served in the Royal Navy up until 1814. I am using the rest of the kit, but altering the carvings and decorations to match a hypothetical Nemesis (of which there are very few records, leaving a lot of room for interpretation based on British shipbuilding practices).

    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.
