    Dumas also makes very basic model ship kits geared towards introducing kids to the hobby.

    Make sure you seal the paper on both sides with a clear sealant to protect it.

    You’ll have to make a new account. The old ones didn’t transfer from their old website.

    Greg, Absolutely incredible work!

    It’s a Type 1934a Destroyer. I ran a quick search for a model kit of a Type 1934a Destroyer on Google and several kits turned up. You should be able to alter the markings to match the Z13.

    The sprit sail is on and with it, the running rigging commences! Needless to say, the sprit sail has several more rigging lines to be installed. This is only my second ever square/ship rigged ship. The first was Mamoli’s 1/100 Endeavour which had greatly simplified rigging and no sails. That one, built a decade ago, took me something like 3 months to rig. It was an 18 month build overall. Hopefully, I do better this time. I spent about four hours today studying the rigging plan to make sure I understood it.

    I have a full set of sails now: They are sewn from unbleached muslin linen with all purpose thread. The bolt ropes are upholstery thread. I just sewed them by hand. Next up, I need to wash them to try and remove the stray pencil markings as best I can. Then, I’ll iron them, prior to beginning the installation of them. The last time I did this, I learned how to install bolt ropes. This time, I am learning how to utilize parrels. I am learning. Hopefully, my Revenge and my de Zeven Provincien will gain a lot in quality from this build.

    Welcome! Nicely done on Endurance!

    James, The Albatross is looking good! I get the same way about missing working on a model after it is done. That just means that you will have to start another one!

    Yves, That is awesome! I’m greatly looking forward to seeing this build!
  22. GrandpaPhil
    Your spitfire is looking amazing! I think the nose art fulfilled the same function as the figurehead of a ship.
  23. GrandpaPhil
    Making progress on the sails: I’m over the halfway point now.
  24. GrandpaPhil
    Very much looking forward to this one!

    Brad, 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.
