    Very nicely done!

    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!

    Very nicely done!

    Keith, Looking forward to seeing this one!

    Steve, Thank you very much! She looks really good with her primary turrets installed! Keith, Thank you very much! Card has become my favorite medium to build in. Don’t sell yourself short, your steamers and work boats are incredible! The primary battery turrets are installed: She looks like a battleship now! I’m working on the six turrets of the secondary battery now: Once those are done and installed, it will be time for masts and rigging!

    Very nicely done!

    Mark, I used the Folk Art clear coat. It works quite well. Lol! I’m glad you like the stands! I learned about using Legos here. They’re like a model making cheat code. They have made my life much easier when it comes to setting stuff up to dry, or making a quick ship cradle for before a model is fully planked!

    Thank you all very much for the likes and for stopping by! The bases of the turrets are finished and in place: The turrets themselves are detailed out and awaiting painting/sealing: I made some jigs/work stands from Legos.
  21. GrandpaPhil
    Phenomenal work, Keith!

    Congratulations! Very nicely done!

    The Golden Hind looks great!

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.
