    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

    Steve, those fire buckets for sand look very realistic. Are you going to mark them with a white "F" ? Well done Nils

    Hi Jparsley, those are figurines made by Preiser. If you Google "Preiser around 1900" you`ll find a large variety most in scale 1:87 (H0 gauge) The N gauge scale like I am using, 1:160 in turn of the century fashions around 1900 is unfortunately not being produced any more, so with a bit of luck you may be able to find something via Ebay now and then, or from second hand model train dealers... Nils

    Hi Martin, many thanks for your compliment, much appreciated.... I`m also still looking for passengers relaxing in deckchairs for taning in the ocean sunlight....., there is an Australian source for scale 1:144 (Titanic deckchairs brass- etched sets), but I find no figurines in period fashions that would lay comfortably in the semi -horizontal chair position...., trust I`m expecting too much there Nils

    Thanks very much Bob, I know its a bit early to think of adding figurines already at this stage, but the search is running early for "needles in the haystack" and I had some luck with Ebay auctions to date.... I also believe they will make the KWdG come alive ... Nils

    Hi John, thats a nice comment ,I`m pleased that you like the model ... I`ve been searching now for weeks already in order to find little scale figurines in 1900 period fashions, and some suitable crew members, they are so rare and hard to find because obviously the are not being produced in the scale 1:160 any more Nils for promenade- and boatsdeck (gauge N, scale 1:160) some of the crew sailors for deckwork (gauge N, scale 1:160)

    good progress James, a very nice looking build, and good modeling of the stern portion Nils

    Hi Mindy, a beautiful build, good to hear its going on now... Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Hi Ed, your metal work is fantastic... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    thank you very much Denis and Don, Denis, I think I`ll overwork the prototype boat a bit, make it look good and try experimenting in making a mould for resin casts. If it works well, it will be the same procedure with the other two boat types. There`s no hurry in doing so, but need to learn by doing Don, I´m very pleased that you like the model, you`re always welcome to look in... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    thank you very much for your compliments and nice words Dirk, Denis, Ed, Nick, Tom and John, and also all the "likes" for clicking the button.. the progress will from now on take more time to do, before results can be seen, due to the many many detail solutions that all must be thought through.... I have the unbuilt printed set on card version in scale 1:250 which is a great help for arranging all those steps in elevations for the boats deck The sample pic is kindly borrowed from the web, and showing a stunning well built waterline card model... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    many thanks Denis and Albert for your nice comments, much appreciated, Update... although there has been much work on the frame and stanchions for the boats deck with all that soldering job, there is not so much to be seen in the progress. All the davit bearings are on. The boatsdeck and the stairways will have to be done now..... Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Daniel, standing time of stamp tool..... very, very good result !! Nils

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.
