    Hi Crackers, thanks for your comment, the white ensign I`m using is the Naval one from 1707 - 1800 without the thinner diagonal red cross in the top left quadrant of the flag. The Red ensign you are refering to is the one from 1800 - present for civilian ships (with the thinner diagonal red cross in the top left quadrant of the flag). Nils

    Nice progress Peter, wish you much fun with "Pickle`s" masting and rigging Nils

    Hello Peter, thanks for the welcome back, as you know, I`m a freind of figurines, so there is some painting to be done on a bunch of British naval soldiers in their gaiter trousers, that have been appointed with a mission (war of independence) down at the New England US coast. These are nicely molded exactly at scale 1:64, and will provide fine little color spots on the decks. In the moment the arms and fire-arms are still missing just like the belts that cross the chests over the red jackets. The standplates will be removed, before they go aboard. Can imagine putting a marksman up at the main top, some at the swivels, etc. Nils

    Hi Marc, The plan is giving a general (side view) overall sectional drawing and several decks in bird`s view. For building the model I enlarged the former file I borrowed from the web and made it large enough on paper to suit 1:1 model / plan, for the build in scale 1:144 Of course there has to be some design work for establishing the lines- and frameplan, like I described earlier in the build`s posts Nils
  17. Mirabell61
    beautiful deck planking Bob, the nailing Looks very neat and clean Nils
  18. Mirabell61
    Thanks Bob, I very much appreciate your nice words, Pegasus has been waiting quite some time, and for KWdG I Need to do some planing work also during the break Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    Wunderbar Pete, another nice looking little gem in your fleet Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Thanks Bob, The Little gig fits nicely in between the main gallows and forecastle ballustrade, resting / lashed on the spare spars Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Congratulations Don, a very nice model of the "Gorch Fock 2" next to the the model itsself, the full set of sails is looking very good, will make an excellent Display object in it`s case Will you be going for another tallship ? What is your planing ? Nils Ammendment : Don, I`m very sorry to hear (your other post today) of your passed away freind and you taking over of his already started "Bluenose" project Wish you all the best with it and a good success in honour to your freind. That answers my forestanding questions by itsself Nils

    Many thanks B.E. and Boyd, for your nice comments, and for the activated "likes" B.E., yes, I tried to use same wood tones. a little bit brass here and there, and scarcely a little black paint. I trust one can tell it`s from the the same yard.... Boyd, thanks for your word.... Nils

    Build log part 90 Hello fellow builders, my last pics concerning the HMS Pegasus are from August 2015, now that the KWdG build is enjoying a break in the moment, I am sorting out where I`m standing with the "Swan Class" sloop. It is somewhere in the rigging, have to groove myself in again. Meantime here some pics of the ship`s boat, which is now ready for taking on board, although it has set on some dust over the months (black areas) 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.
