    Thank you for the feedback! I am sorry that I haven´t posted anything since last time . I just had a very busy times in my santas workshop to paint few paintings... and now i had little bit time to work on my model again. I will upload some pics from process later this evening. And about the paintjob... at first I was thinking to left the ship "colorless" but I was able to get my hands on the book "The Royal Warship VASA" by Björn Landström..and I just fell in love in this ship paint job (blue and gold! ) and I decided to go with this in my model. And I am more than satisfied with the result! for pictures stay tuned! And for now Happy Holidays everybody!!

    Hello everybody. I am kinda new here. I mean i have kept an eye on basically every ship build here. And now i thought its time for me to post my build! This isn´t my first build (first was La Couronne - because of the price tag :D), but this one i want to make as original as possible (for the real thing). As I said my goal is to make this ship as it is right now..not what it was. But will see through the process. Maybe some colors here and there- will see! And little bit of the backstory as well. Like my name says i am from Estonia. I have liked those old ships from the very beginning. Saw the first one..an boom liked it and it stay´d this way. And i remember when i was young i always wondered how the hell people build these... because my ships what i build these days was basically just arrow shaped wood blanks with sails But now when we have internet and computers i have searched here and there..i found these kits and everything. and then i stumbled upon this forum. and only thought what i had in my mind was: Dear diary- JACKPOT! i have learned so much from you guys. And now i want to put all this knowledge to work! And bit what i have done so far (almost a year of building). I really don´t like these plastic figurines..so i made them all out of wood so they look authentic! And i painted the ship dark brown... well the color dark brown was on the canister lid but the ship came out pretty black but i don´t mind! and there are some pictures of the progress so far! And now when the winter is coming and the nasty Covid-19 raising his head it time to start building again! Martin.

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.
