    Thank you very much for your Kind words Patrick, in the Moment there is no suitable place yet for the model and ist glass case in our home I can think of, my wife also asked me that the other day without me answering, but I hopefuly shall find a solution in the next months. All the best for you in 2015 Nils

    hello Dimitris, I know what you`re talking about with those possible hailine fractures in the outside Skin. Sometimes they occur even months after the planking was done an, sealed and painted. Good experience was achieved with this "crack creep" thin-viscosic product UHU Holzfest, if you Need to secure thin cracks, and if already there, from getting larger. If you are going to simulate steel plating, you Need a smooth outer Skin of the wooden surface underground. (that plating put on afterwards can also be structured before applying) One pic without,- one with structure (here riveting structure) happy new year Nils

    Hello Dimitris, A very fine built model so far.... I`m with Elia....., why fibreglass,and resin ? I guess scale 1:100 is too small to have her put in the water afterwards. If the actual Hull is riveted, an appropriate structured Skin for the model would be great Nils

    Thanks very much Aldo, due to the small boat fabrication there has been a Little pause in the rigging sequence, but now ist time to get the Yards and the square sails under process..... Wish you all the best for your heath for 2015 and happy modeling with your "Triton" Cheers, Nils

    Hello Christian, I had a look at your very nice planing for the "Alert" in 1:32, which I find is a beautiful representant of the british naval cutters of that Age. After I started gathering Information and studying Cole`s "Alert" Version on the web with the clinker planking, my Hand already started itching to begin a build of a cutter like this. Your skill of utilizing CAD for lines and Frame planing is amazing, unfortunately I never had the opertunity to learn CAD design during my active career I shall watch your Progress with high interest. and thak you very much for sharing this with us. I wish you a good success and a happy new year Nils

    Clare, somehow I came across your introduction of the 1:72 Version of the Card built "Alert" cutter. Those pics you are showing (links in your post) made my mind turning around building a cutter of this type, but in wood. Wonderful that clinker card-planking, and the whole build is awsome. Thanks so much for sharing this Information ! Nils

    Popeye, thanks, am quite pleased with my work and with the fading out year, hope you have also been a good Boy and Santa has left a parcel at your place, looking forward to your updated Holiday Harbor results soon..... Wish you and our family a happy Christmas time and turn of the year and a good start 2015 Nils

    A merry Christmas to you Doris, thats a lovely build, your "Chebec", it Looks like a fast sailer, very interesting rigging, hull-lines, you`ve realy produced a gem out of that kit, well done! Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    fantastic planking Chuck ! Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Thank you very much B.E., after checking with the hight of the boat on the spars and the clearance to the main stay sail, all fits well now, so I can go further with the yards ..... happy Christmas to you and yours and a relaxing years end for sorting and gathering ideas for the new year Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    many thanks Robin, Piet and David, for your kind words...... Robin, yes I realy enjoyed making this little boat a lot, the smallest ones I built sofar are the lifeboats for my bohuslän Piet, thanks for the correct term "Grapnel" anchor, I only knew the typ as Draggen or Dreggen before David, sometimes one gets lost in little fancies, but not more than necessary, too much would overload the small vessel have a great Christmas time and a happy new year Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    many thanks Alistair, I wish you a nice Christmas time and all the best for the coming year Nils

    Thank you Nigel, I saw on the web, related to oar-lengths that there is a factor in relation to the boats beam at that place, That makes sense, especialy when the oarsman sits opposite to the rowlock. Also many thanks for the kind greetings, which I return with many regards Nils

    Martin, Thank you, I have so far very good experience with cutting bamboo into shape. The Major Advantage is that when it splits (wanted direction) it splits in a straight line. For shaping I use a table combi-grinder, my Drilling machine and a scalpel and some fine files, and sanding paper A happy Christmas time also to you Nils

    Magnus, brilliant design and Rendering work, well done ! 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.
