    On the topic of museums, I recommend a visit to the Naval Museum in Madrid if you can get there. It still has a superb display of models of all types and sizes. A wonderful place.

    Great problem-solving exercise, and a very impressive result!
  25. Tony Hunt
    I know! When I first saw them, I assumed they were images from a 3D drawing program!
  26. Tony Hunt
    PM your address to me and I'll put a couple into the post for you to try, if you'd like. 😀
  27. Tony Hunt
    Wow! What a wonderful artefact to find while walking along the beach looking for seashells!
  28. Tony Hunt
    A ready source of boxwood for such figures is old folding woodworking rulers. I know some people think this is sacrilege (and perhaps it is) but if you go to the local fleamarket and find the guy selling old tools and other junk, he will often have some pretty beaten-up ones that are beyond their use-by date. They were made from excellent quality boxwood, too!

    Looking really good Craig! The hull looks nice and fair.
  30. Tony Hunt
    She certainly got battered. It looks like Lively's gunners really concentrated on the officer country end of the ship if the depiction of the distribution of shot damage to the hull is accurate.
  31. Tony Hunt
    Lots of great advice above, so many good choices. RED JACKET was a very handsome ship, there is a good article on a model of her in Model Shipwright magazine somewhere. COMET is also a great suggestion, I haven't seen a model of her (although I'm sure there is one). Another beauty is WILD PIGEON, plans are in Chapelle's book.
  32. Tony Hunt
    Wow Pat, they look really good. So tiny!
  33. Tony Hunt
    I have a Vanda-Lay Hog sander too, it works fine. I bought a cheap Chinese-made hobby table saw at the local hardware chain, threw away the saw (it was terrible), and used the motor to power the sander. It's worked perfectly for many years.
  34. Tony Hunt started following Valeriy V
  35. Tony Hunt
    I love those winches. And the rest of the model too!
  36. Tony Hunt
    It's an Australianism Craig. Don't worry, it's a sincere compliment.
  37. Tony Hunt
    Who needs a real boat when the model is this good? 😀

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.
