    Sorry to hear about that. “Fragile” labels on packages seem to usually mean “throw” or “stomp” to shipping companies. We’ve had it happen many times too.

    Congratulations! Well done!

    This will be awesome!

    Hannah’s completion is still pending. I’ve been very busy lately and have a very long to-do list. I’ll be finishing this model soon.

    Nice job cleaning up the model! It’s looking good!

    Very cool!

    I have a Panart Victory bow section. I bought a damaged one from an antique store a while back that I bought and fixed. The level of detail is somewhat wanting. Many of the rigging fittings are also out of scale. I would personally recommend the Caldercraft kit or waiting for the Amati kit to come out. Please take note that I have never had a Caldercraft kit, but I have generally heard good things about them. Chris Watton designed the Amati Victory and his work is absolutely top notch.

    Beautifully done! Truly a masterpiece!

    I have been placing my models on a wood plaque, like the kind you would get from Hobby Lobby in the wood craft section. I used to use the brass pedestals, but lately I have been making my own cradles. If you don’t have a set of lines for the model, you can use a contour gauge to get lines for the inside of the cradles. These are wooden warships, but I would personally use the same method for a steel ship.

    Looking good!

    Out of curiosity, where were you able to find a plan for a Galleass? I would very much like to be able to build one. Thank you very much.

    I carved my own for my 1:98 Mantua Victory. My log is in the kit build section if you would like to see my methods.

    The model is looking good! Sorry about the thumb, it happens to all of us at some point or another.
  23. GrandpaPhil
    Absolutely beautiful model!

    Ditto. Still planning to build the Winchelsea. Still backed up a couple of models. Winchelsea will be a fun build.

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.
