    Very nice, especially on the scale you're working ...

    He just stimulates you by doing it ... increasing the bar ...

    Maury, Both sides would be tossed simultaneously ...

    Nils, Glad to see you back at the drawing and building board ... You've created a very impressive fore mast, beautiful metalwork ... it shows you are eager to continue Cheers

    Druxey, I've been pondering on the sweep display ... if you put them on racks beside the boat, you will probably loose the floating impression, and the board may look cluttered ... so for me I would go for the tossed display ... it might even add to that upward floating view you're striving for ... Congrats on the book, that decision, in a way, was the easy part, now comes the hard part .. writing it down ... I do hope to add it to my diminishing shelve space ... Cheers

    Mark, It must be so confusing ... A French ship, caught by the English ... rebuild (partly) and only the French plans to consult, besides the references from another modeller, whom is an expert, but didn't live at the time of the changes either ... how I do not envy you ... but how courageous, and creative you are ... Cheers

    As long as you don't mix 'em up, Mario, it doesn't matter which side you start ...I'd say your plan is as good as any ... stick to t and you'll get there Cheers

    JesseLee, It's just another challenge, or if you wish ... learning curve. Not very difficult, but it can be sticky if you mess up ;-) Cheers

    Johann, When you finished your first boat, I thought can this be done any better ...and yes you did that with your second, after which I thought ... indeed the same question, and subsequently the same answer. It seems you surpass yourself with every build you make .... How will this one turn out ... so far you are on track, looking very crisp and flawless ... Cheers

    What surprised me, Geatan, is the difference between the images, not as much the colour - for that I expected, but for the red glow - however, the focus on the first seems much better than on the other two, which are with lighting oddly enough ...

    Steven, Did you ever take a look at the stern of the Royal Barge ...? (e.g. http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2012/05/29/the-queens-jubilee-royal-barge-gloriana )
  12. cog
    Nah, he's gonna use mirrors ... like on a bike!!! Dennis, You give her the look of a tall and slender lady ... marvelous

    Still at it, my friend. You've got some stamina!!! Looking very good ... I like the mold you are using to make them of equal size ... turning three at once will make it faster too. Looking forward to the first stain on them ... Keep it up ... you're still in my thoughts! Cheers

    Nenad, I agree with you ... glass is made to drink from, or to hold liquids ... 1 mm ... Would 1.5 mm wire be to thick ??? You do create wonderful things at odd hours of the day ... Cheers
  15. cog
    The missus should know hobbies cost money ... even research Enjoy Dortmund
  16. cog
    Nice, Mario ... you didn't get lost in the parts, or the beveling!!! Cheers
  17. cog
    Re-do-dodely-dum-dum-do ... I thought them quite nice, Nenad ...

    Nigel, That's some sturdy looking door, looks like it can withstand a band of mutineers ...! Well thought of the spacer ... you can make life easier in the near future like that Cheers
  19. cog
    You just need a wheel, and you could have a test run, Igor. Looking sturdy those sails!! Cheers
  20. cog
    So that shell is approximately 12 x 8 mm ... and you still could make a plain visible relief, and a darn decent looking painted badge on it to, which is even smaller (8 x 4 mm???) It looks amazing ... knowing the scale it looks nearly impossible ... Wonderful craftsmanship, Druxey Cheers
  21. cog
    Even if it looks like a kit ... I see something which resembles more a scratch building, Mario. You've got your framing cut out for you ... do't mixup the bevels!!! Cheers
  22. cog
    If you don't get that one to your liking, mayby 'Fleece line' could help ... or for that matter mouseline (muslin?) ... - getting old, should have thought about these sooner(!) Cheers
  23. cog
    Another superb bottled miniature. She looks awesome Igor
  24. cog
    It's not the nr of plans he has in his head already, Nenad. it's that plus the nr of plans he can come up with ...! Looking good Dennis. You could make interior stairs to go to the cabin from the deck! Cheers
  25. cog
    Marvelous work, Igor ... those hoops look darn good from here - not to big(!!) Cheers

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.
