    Or make your own fittings. That’s the fun part for me anyway.

    Absolutely fantastic work, Glen!

    17th Century ships are some of my favorites. I am looking forward to seeing your build of La Couronne come together. I would like to build mine a few builds down the road.

    Congratulations on the news from the doctor!

    AAMM has a set of plans of La Couronne. https://boutique.aamm.fr/plan-couronne?search=couronne The only flaw is that they are very small scale. I bought a set for myself a couple years ago. They may be a useful resource for you.

    Yes, and stealers. I used them on my Revenge and they looked really good. It seems really difficult, but after the first few, it gets easier.
  18. GrandpaPhil
    Looks really good!

    I made mine 1 mm thick.

    I typically use an overhand knot.

    Eric, Amazing work!

    1/16 inch basswood makes excellent planking material. If you are in the United States, it can be found pretty cheaply in the woodcraft sections of Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, along with most hobby shops. I have seen it at hardware stores such as Menard’s and Lowes too.

    I’ll vouch for the Shipyard and Seahorse kits. They are excellent! Also, I recommend checking out Ab Hoving’s most excellent card modeling from scratch tutorial: That tutorial got me started on card ships. I have finished four of them now.

    I just got an email flyer from @OcCrediscussing the Great Eastern. Are they making a kit of the Great Eastern? That would be very cool if they did, since the Great Eastern is a popular topic.

    Congratulations! 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.
