    interesting technique you are using Alex, the hull looks great so far, am curious how the plating shall work out.... Nils

    a beautiful build ! those nose rails look so fine, you sure perform an excellent scratching technique.... Nils
  3. Mirabell61
    nice work Piet, the "Red Lion" probably the ship`s nickname.... Nils

    Good work Bob, the fitting out with deck equipment and machinery looks very nice... Nils

    welcome to MSW Hervie, wish you a pleasant stay and much fun in modeling your "Syren" Nils

    Update.... further production of windows and doors, and deck cabin walls....., the deck cabins will probably be in 4 seperate sections Nils once the next deck is on, there will be no more access to these screws mass production of promenade deck brass window frames and doors, those for the aft cabin are already mounted

    wonderful work Glenn, the planked wall stucture, the stairs and window outcuts look great... Nils

    very good work Bob, those mortar pits and deck look lovely also nice choise of wooden tones ..... Nils

    beautiful work Pawel, that bomb storage down over the keel must have been a super dangerous place......... Nils

    Hi Bob, jep, I was evaluating the same thoughts, and therefore already gathering suitable 1:160 people around or near to 1900-1920, and these are hard enough to get. perhaps I need to tune the clothes a bit This pic I was kindly posted by member "Mr. Hollom" earlier in this build log, that`s about what it should be......, or near to Nils

    Thank you very much Denis, I am still seeking for turn of the century figures preferably in 1:144 scale and unfortunately ca`nt find any. There are very few for example from Preiser in scale 1:160, these being a tic too small, but better that without..... Should anyone come cross a source I would greatly appreciate for any hint... The airline figures I am using, in proper scale 1:144, are just for dimensional configuration in the moment. Nils

    interesting Project Rob, that four masted clipper ship must have been one of the largest and beautiful clippers ever built in wood. Encouraged by an article here at MSW I was curious about this ship and looked up the appropriate pages in the heritage Dec. 1935 edition of the Popular Science Magazine. (frame plan on page 95) I wish you a good start with your project, and much fun with digging out, exploring and gathering all you need for that lovely build. Will be following the "rebirth" of this clipper... Nils

    Hi Bob, yes, I think I can leave it by 18,5 mm wall hight of deck housings plus about 0,5 mm for the forestanding deck coaming above the deck (under the walls ). Considering the above deck`s curvature the top deck comes down to remaining space of about 17,5 mm at the sides, (what you see with the figures). The problen is, I have no chance to fix it later on, if the optical appearance would provide too little space between the decks. I have here a pic of the KWdG promenade deck ( a lady in the foreground and a man in the background ), this pic kindly borrowed from Norwegian Heritage of the web, shows the hights relation quite well......, although around 1900 the people were not so tall Nils

    Thanks Gerhard, sure, its a tricky area in place where there is only the thin promenade deck to fasten the stachions. But that will have to wail until the deck housings are done. Made a few more raw doors and windows today and some light-vents stb / port of the foremost housing walls (only dry fitted, finaly mounted later on Nils)
  15. Mirabell61
    Thanks very much Piet, Except from the little dummy, I have`nt started with those deckstanchions yet, in the way I intended it to be, but I do hope it will work out well.... Nils
  16. Mirabell61
    Hello Sjors, good start on the "Sovereign of the Seas"...... And happy birthday...., enjoy your day Nils
  17. Mirabell61
    Dan, beautiful work on your frigate "Boston" Nils
  18. Mirabell61
    Thank you Denis. in the moment I`m checking the hights between the decks in relation to the scale. Here some (airline 1:144) figurines come very handy Nils need some strong support for rilling the row of holes for 4 vent tubes later on maybe the deckhousing walls are still a bit too high, but I also have to consider the deck curvature

  20. Mirabell61
    Congrats, Looks like you have chosen a precision high quality kit, I like that lapstrake planking very much, looks very realistic for the "Hanse Kogge" Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    The build looks very nice Torbogdan, NIls
  22. Mirabell61
    Thank you very much Mark, Rob and Geoff. for your kind comments, and all the "likes" for looking in.... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    very nice work Iosto, it has the special touch of a real naval "workhorse" under duty for several months at sea....., and held in best condition very well beautiful built ship... Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    hello Martin, nice update on the lighting hatching and housing, looks great.... enjoy a pleasant time in Maine... Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Many thanks Greg, Nils Hi Jan, here a little illustration that may help to explain...., a pic is more than many words.... 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.
