    I received mine earlier this week via email. I had one entry in the Masters Category. I've found the judge's commentary sheets very informative. I was a NRG judge for the 2021 event and took time to offer helpful comments on the entries I judged (Age of Sail models only).

    Matt, Please check your Private Messages*. If you haven't found a more local source for your model's restoration, I may be able to help. Judging by your photos, it appears a competent repair can be made with only a few hours work but will require an overnight period afterwards to achieve a permanent fix. You'll also likely want to have the affected rigging adjusted once the bowsprit/jibboom is fixed; this is often the case with spar repairs. * upper right corner on the home page ("messages" within the double dialogue bubbles)

    Yes - and any vexillologist will know the proper manner to display an ensign on a spontoon.
  23. hollowneck
    Ditto. All positive news, Chris. Your investment in the pro 3D printers will pay off. I believe there is an eager person in your vicinity that you can hire and train to help with your growing production needs. The expanding facilities and gear is one thing, a dedicated production person to keep the business humming along is another - as you well know. So, before-the-fact: Congratulations! I can't wait to open my Jack Aubrey Surprise box next year...even with the 10% import tax (called a "tariff).

    To flap or not to flap, that is the question. The true Vexillologist can also choose to drape.
  25. hollowneck
    On point. The most important resource needed for our ship modeling hobby - at any interest level, scratch or kit, tugboat or ship-of-the-line - is TIME.
  26. hollowneck
    Good News - but, were you "Surprised?"
  27. hollowneck
    XLNT! 👍
  28. hollowneck
    ...no judgments, Mike, unless of course, Bad Words turn into bad Deeds!

    Will Vanguard be displaying its HMS Surprise prototype?
  30. hollowneck
    Niiiice!!! Kool build. Get small Mike! What would we do without those Bounty "Quicker PickerUpper" paper towels?

    Your creativity is a great testament to the fun that can be had in our unique hobby: yet another brilliant idea and execution, Glen. Bravo - You got the SIB "Rizz!"

    For accurately-scaled belaying pins I can recommend the new 3D printed ones at Syren Ship Models. Chuck offers a couple sizes, the smallest (7mm) are perfect for 1:64. The pin's color is printed into the resin, no painting necessary. They will also take rope tension when belaying lines and not break. Attached pic is for my Vanguard gun brig "HM Cracker"

    Nyet! Falkonet is a Russian kit brand. Crafty Sailor (Canada) imported their stuff for a couple years along with Master Korabel (also Russian). Enter the invasion of Ukraine and... sanctions...Falkonet's aftermarket wood, perfectly-scaled belaying pins are excellent. The company still has a website: good luck ordering (and getting) merch from Russia (which is too bad).

    I will guarantee that you will have no regrets.

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.
