    Lovely model PJ. Great to have another Aussie posting here, too. I find pear can be very variable, some is quite yellowish, too. The dark reddish brown European pear seems to be a quite distinctive type, I wonder what the pears are like? Keep up the great work Tony PS re the three young kids, I sympathise. My three are all at University now, thank goodness!

    Sensational.

    Wow. I can't wait to see how this progresses. It's looking great already! Young America was a very beautiful ship.

    Hi Pat, I'm struggling to see a significant difference between options 1, 2 and 3, although it would be nice to get it exactly right, of course. All that aside, Option 1 seems the most intuitive to me. I agree the Option A for the doubling. I can't imagine any reason for it to be tapered. Cheers Tony

    Extraordinary! What a beautiful model! I would like to know more about the steam yacht in the background of some of the pictures too.

    Inspiring work Adrian. It will be an incredible model when it is finished.
  7. Tony Hunt
    That is fabulous detail at 1/72. It looks great.
  8. Tony Hunt
    Looks like it will be a fascinating build. Lots of detail to drown in! 😀 Enjoy!

    Bring on the Dancing Girls! 😁

    That's a very interesting way to make gratings, I like it. How do machine the excess wood off the underneath?

    I just read it too! Fascinating, and highly recommended. I really enjoy the clear-eyed, objective and dispassionate lens that some modern historians are bringing to these subjects, leaving out all the romanticism, jingoism etc. The books written by James Holland on WW2 are equally good.

    A very nice looking ship too! Ketch rigged, presumably. Mid 1700s?
  13. Tony Hunt
    Great start - lovely clean detail. Looking forward to more! I assume this the EURYALUS of 1803, a 36 gun frigate? But you haven't finished the beautiful model of the Boudriot 74!

    Handsome ship, a bit reminiscent of the US ship sloop Peacock, of about the same time.

    I haven't read Shattered sword, I'll have to look for it. As it happens I recently read the account of Midway by Mitsuo Fuchida and Masatake Okumiya, giving the Japanese view of events, which was a fascinating perspective.

    SILENT VICTORY is a great read too, highly recommended!
  17. Tony Hunt
    I'm watching with great attention Ilhan. Fascinating to see your solutions to the various build challenges. The propeller and its housing are wonderful.
  18. Tony Hunt
    Interesting subject! I look forward to seeing how the model develops.
  19. Tony Hunt
    C'est magnifique. Vraiment!
  20. Tony Hunt
    Looking good! Interesting choice of ship too.

    Fascinating. I used to make model planes when I was a young boy, Airfix mostly - a long time ago now! I have to say the craft has come a long way since then. The amount of research material available on the internet is mind-boggling.

    Quote > I tried winding it today. It's not ideal. It needs to be adjusted. < The chain, I take it? I'm guessing it kinked and tangled as it wound, too much "hole diameter" and not enough "link diameter" I suspect. The shackles and hooks etc you've made look superb.

    That's looking fantastic Ken!
  24. Tony Hunt
    They look great Carl. Where are you getting the colour schemes from?
  25. Tony Hunt
    Wow.

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.
