    Hi Valeriy, Thank you for your compliment... Yes, my heated hobby room was earlier our former guest room with connected bathroom. I`m very pleased to have this refugium Nils

    Hi Michael, Thanks for looking in,.... Since my hobby room is in the cellar, a window opens into a brick shaft. (emergancy escape) During the day, some light falls from above, but not so much to cause sunlight fading... Nils

    Thank you very much Michael, The model is now standing under the window on a side board, in good view from my desk working place... I was so happy to get all the glas panes without any damage or breakage. Together with my wife we got the glasbonnet gently and slowly down from above and on to the guide pins Nils

    Many thanks for your kind compliment Dan, much appreciated, yes I trust the Chebec worked out quite well, and I`m satisfied with the result. The display place in my hobby room had been swapped with that of the the Gorch Fock model, which will find its new mooring place upstairs... Nils

    Good work Tom, your "Portland" looks great, keep it up... Nils

    Thanks Bill, for looking in, pleased you like it..... For that air machine in the coming action film, I checked the official trailer (U-tube), it takes much imagination to see a Chebec in it, but quite interesting.... I`m sure my son will be looking out for that movie Best regards, Nils

    Today the casing has been completed, the Chebec fitted inside, and sowith the project come to an end.... Nils Volume wise this is my largest glass case ever built....

    hi Ian, thats a beautiful build and a beautiful picture illustration too. Very well done !! Love those sights to the landscape surroundings, your comments and the seasons as they come and go, even wild life in the garden..... Wish you all the best with the further rigging Nils

    Beautiful work Jason, I also like your color giving to the hull.... Nils

    A lovely built ship Alex, looks mighty fine with those taned sails..., and super stuctured deck housings Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Michael, yes, it is a "spinnaker pole" (may have had a different nomination in those days) for a mighty size triangle sail, that is rigged, and standing out about 90° to the ships axis Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Hi Michael, many thanks for looking in again..... I`m pleased you like the method for bringing on the bolt ropes. When I did it first I was searching for a way to sew the bolt rope to the sail edge per sewing machine because I just could`nt do it with a steady and evan hand stitch. And yes, the British cutter "Genesta" and its build is still one of my favorites as I fell in love with those beautiful lines, and she`s a "must" to start a build with one day..... Best regards Nils Pic of this lovely model, built by Jürgen Willing, is borrowed from the web

    further on with the Chebec`s glass case making.... the slotted rods unfortunately come only in 900mm lengths, due to the required length of the base and the glass panes, the rods will have to be shafted. I chose a brass reinforcement profile in order to strengthen the shafted joints. The complete glass bonnet and its frame will be guided and centered in 6 places for removal..... (at four corners and one on each length side) Nils this is my little model, which I take to the glasser, when ordering the panes, together with a scetch comprising the dimensions, pointing out why the dimensions and tolerances are important to hold corner / side guide sleeves and pins to centre the removeable bonnet later on shafting the bottom length sides at 25° angle, with brass reinforcement profiles (assemly with CA) the reinforcement will hardly be visible afterwards the frame will be flush with the upper outside base contour

    Many thanks 2Millimetra, I am pleased you liked the pictures..... 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.
