    Thanks for your words Popeye, I can feel with you concerning The Academy Titanic (scale 1:350 if I`m right)...... I have both "Titanic" (Mini Craft, 1:350) and Cunard`s "Lusitania" (Gunze 1:350) still sleeping in the cupboard. One reason both are frozen in at the moment is that in the meantime I have seen such fantastic detailed and incredibly well built models, in particular the Titanic, in a quality I will never acheave in that scale. As I mentioned to Peter (Flyer) some days ago, I`m gathering information on a british naval cutter scale 1:48, and on the 1897 launched german passenger liner "Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" , probably in scale 1:144, for to make my decision wich of the two for the next project For the cutter I have basicly all I would need already, for the liner not yet Nils Here is also a little update on the HMS Pegasus... Build log part 87 I`m doing the coil-ends of the lines at the belaying points jig for the line-coils, The pencillines are for the different coil diameters at the handrails left / right to the Quarterdeck entrance front pinrail, QD-ballustrade looking forward pinrails left / right of the skylight on spanker boom, for outhauler tackle (inhauler on stb side likewise) at forecastle ballustrade, (stb side still "untidy" ) at main gallows pinrail, allowing pump-crank levers to turn free

    Thanks Boyd, BTW, are you planing to install all those Tables and racks for the breadfruit plants ? Nils

    Craig, ist a pleasure to see her growing, must be fun to build.... Great looking Nils

    Hi Patrick, you`ve realy been busy These days, good looking results so far Interesting technique with those semi-hull sections Nils
  9. Mirabell61
    good idea Tadeusz, its the same technique as printing flags...., Thanks for sharing Nils

    John, Thanks for your appreciation on "Pegasus" John, I have here a sample of where I hand-jigsaw-cut the vertical frames of "Pamirs" Jarvis three winches (0,8 mm brass sheet, and fine metal blade) Nils

    Bob, thanks very much for your nice comment.... Nils

    Hi Peter, you had just the right sense with those ships you mentioned, I have a book of the Vulcan shipyard in Stettin which of course is also showing some plans of the ships. I am, next to a british Naval Cuitter, momentarily also grooving myself in on the twin-srew liner " Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" in scale 1:150, will be a beast of 1333 mm length, but no decision is made yet. I simply love the lines, the technique of those days, the luxiary of the fitting out, and the speed those liners could go, knifing their way through the Atlantic. Here is a free available pic of a model built in card in scale 1:250, I borrowed from the web (HMV, Hamburger Modellbaubogen Verlag) Cheers, Nils

    Thanks Carl, now its time for doing the fine type work, I`ve bought myself a mini flattend nozzle with flexible tubing for Adaption to the regular vacuum cleaner, together with a suitable sized Paintbrush I must try and get some dust out of the ship that has settled on the lower decks during the many months of build Nils

    Build log part 87 Update have started to coil up the line-ends (separate coils) Nils several lines to foremast bits and to bow pin rails
  16. Mirabell61
    Hi Jan, rigging and the beautiful sails look fantastic, I like the way you made the sails and glued the boltrope on at that scale Well done ! Nils
  17. Mirabell61
    good Progress Popeye, I like those many Details... Nils
  18. Mirabell61
    Hi Martin, thanks for showing the pics of the two ships. San Felipe under sails Looks very nice and the planking of the Batavia Hull Looks very neat and accurate. It seems to be treenailed to the Frames (cant make it out on the Photos....) Are you hesitating because of wooden carving work (figurines) ?, the hull has wonderfull lines, it would be a pitty if not finalized... Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    Hello Martin, your "Agamemnon" Looks great so far, thats one of the nice large frigates... Are you intending to rig sails later on ? Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Hello Peter, Thats a great idea, please go ahead with it.... the "Pickle" under braced sails, must be eyecandy on the shelf (in Showcase ?), when done...... Shall love to see that hapens... in your shipyard I think I`ll have to do some work around the house and garden when "Pegasus" is completed, its been postponed already for quite some time. On the modeling side I have`nt made up my mind yet, I have though thrown an eye on perhaps a 1:48 scratch build of one of those single masted 15 British naval cutters 1777-1778, like "Rattlesnake", "Alert" or so....., some weeks ago I shot Peter Goodwins book The Naval Cutter Alert for a bargain at Ebay, on the other Hand I was always wanting to build one of those famous pre WW1 four-stacker passenger liners Cheers Nils

    lovely built ship Joe, it Looks very good, well done Nils

    nice appreciative comment Lawrence, thank you very much, and I`m sure that your "Annie M." is going to be a pride of a schooner under full rigged sails in not so Long time.... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Thank you very much Mike, your words are much appreciated, I shall be happy to see another Swan Class under sails in due time.... Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Obsolete spanker sail... dear fellow Swan Class modelers in 1:64 scale I have here one obsolete, complete self sewn spanker sail (mizzen mast) for "Pegasus" or "Fly", with bolt rope all around, reef- and reinforcement patches at the rigging corner points. It has become obsolete because I changed the cloth widths, ducks (from 18" to 24" ) on my model. The sail has 18" cloth width, resp. 7 mm for the model`s sail I shall give this away for free, to whoever can make use of it it, whereby posting costs kindly will require refundment by Paypal in advance. If interest, please dop me a PM..... Nils

    Beautiful precise work Isalbert, you must have many years of experience in historic shipbuilding, building the mast parts says it all...... I joined in after the great crash, when when MSW V2 was already under way , so unfortunately I did see your early build sequences, trust I`ve missed something.. BTW may I ask, where is your Location ? 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.
