    Hi Keith, a beautiful build, from keellaying to present status, very nice handcraft work on hull and deck. Your metal work and brass milling is wonderful to see and also that winch is fantastic. A good idea using an old (toothwheel ? ) for the e-motor coolribs .. Nils

    Thanks Kevin, very interesting project and a good idea with displaing different stages of ussage. It could get a bit difficult to find suitable deck fittings in scale 1:70, but there I trust 1:72 would do as well, and provide some finds for ladders / Stairways I like to use this source http://www.hobby-lobby-modellbau.com/onlineshop/index.php/cat/c468_Niederg-nge.html Good luck and much fun with your build Nils

    Kevin, wish you good keellaying with this project. Are you aiming to build one of the three sections or the whole ship. I noticed that its a card model, so you will be facing thousands of pieces to be orgenized logistic wise....., quite an ambitious task... Nils

    Bob, the ladder looks perefect, a fine positioning fixture and a super soldering job !! Nils

    Bob, you`re doing a good job on the railings-soldering... Are you going to stick the stanchion foot-ends through the deck, or into those white borderline surroundings ? Nils

    Thanks very much Denis, I`m waiting for an photo-etched set of brass benches in scale 1:144 from an Australian source, (for soldering together), that go along side of the promenade deck housings, before the upper boatsdeck is permanently fastened, due to access possibility. Have no idea how long the postway / customs shall take.... Nils

    Super model Pawel, I love the precise wooden joinings, and hope that you won`nt have trouble with the iron nailheads some time later on, but even that can be a nice optic speciality to see. Well done !! Nils

    Hi Druxey, you`re absolutely right with 1860`s crinoline dresses, I had the same thoughts......, I`ll try and tune those a bit slimmer perhaps with Dremel or so... Nils

    Little update.... Am just starting with fitting the aft part of the (raw and dryfit) boats deck into the metal framework. The lower portion of the aft mast also is fitted in place. The deck is of 0,8 mm thick 3-layer ply, and will be planked with 0,8 x 2mm pine planks with "pencil edge caulking", same as the promenade deck Nils

    Typical Danish fisher boat, looks great James, reminds me of a Denmark vacation at the North sea side, where these boats are pulled up on the strand with winches when work is done.... Nils

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.
