    We have had Doxies forever! Glad to see you have a beauty!

    James How is the mast and rigging coming along?
  3. Bobbuild
    Chris I think initially you indicated that you were not going to do a Master Shipwright version. Is that still your thoughts? Will you be having flags available for your models in the future? Thanks and DK is beautiful!
  4. Bobbuild
    That would be nice Are you ready to ship?
  5. Bobbuild
    Looks good!! Appreciate including more word instructions and photos when we get to the mast, boom, yards (including sequencing) and also rigging section. I am working on Alert and it is a little light on info in those sections (but I am figuring it out. 🙂) Thanks

    James Anything new to share?

    Tom I am just a little confused. Which boat comes with the Coureur? The post at #174 shows Cutter 130mm as "gift" with the kit but the description at #208 seems to indicate the other "regular" boat come with the kit. Can you please clarify. Thank you

    How about a POF kit? I think there might be some interest? Another thought royal yachts from @17-18 century such as Fubbs, Royal Caroline

    Tom When will everything be complete and ready to ship? Like to order but want to know that everything is ready. Please let us know. Thank you

    CAFModel Are you thinking of doing a boxwood version and if so when would that be released? Thank you
  11. Bobbuild
    Will the Duchess have masts and rigging?
  12. Bobbuild
    Just received my Flirt. 2.5 days from England to Minnesota. That is service. So don't hesitate to order if you are reluctant to order from Vanguard overseas if you are in USA. Need to finish his other models Alert and Speedy before this one!

    Chris What are the 4 ship names? Hope one is HMS Bellona. (But I guess that one has a larger number of guns) I agree with the idea of better wood use.
  15. Bobbuild
    Take a look at Vanguard Models Good instructions, quality of wood and service https://vanguardmodels.co.uk
  16. Bobbuild
    CAF Are you going to be including the French flag and streamer (pennant) ?
  17. Bobbuild

    James

    You list CAF Coureur as "imminent build". Can you tell us what your thoughts are about this future kit and why you would pick that kit. I am also interested in that kit and would like your thoughts. Thanks

  18. Bobbuild
    Strongly suggest you take a look at Vanguard Models. https://vanguardmodels.co.uk/ Good instructions materials and great quick service. Suggest one of the two - Lady Eleanor or Isabella for first time. There are build logs on this site for these two. If you want something more in the line of the ones you mentioned look at HM Cutter Alert by Vanguard Models.
  19. Bobbuild
    Sorry if this has been asked before but will instructions be in English?
  20. Bobbuild
    Have you received authorization for the mast part from Ancre? Will masts and sails be part of the kit? When do you anticipate kit to be complete and available? By the way looks great!
  21. Bobbuild
    Chris Another suggestion is barrels and casks.
  22. Bobbuild
    Chris How about stern lanterns?
  23. Bobbuild
    I hope HMS Bellona is on your list!
  24. Bobbuild
    Chris Are the cannon carriages something we should think about in replacing or substituting them for those on Speedy and Alert kits. Any difference? Thanks
  25. Bobbuild
    Chris Have you thought about adding flags as an option or part of your kits? I think they can add a lot to a model.

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.
