    Doris, thank you so much, such nice compliment from a masterbuilder as you are, really mean something to me, and give me good feeling. Unfortunately, as I mentioned to Moxis already, I`m out of display space in my home, so it may take some time before I can start a further project. On my list would favourably be a Chinese "Hainan trading Junk" Best regards. Nils

    Many thanks Dan, am zipping a cool beer already... Guess your "Michelangelo" is on the end-straight also... Nils

    Hi Moxis, a self made steam engine including a self made gas-fired boiler, that would be a thrill, and if possible fit all into a suitable boat with RC control. That will keep your designer`s mind busy for several weeks and months for planing and making, and your fellow builders at MSW shall be eagerly waiting to share your progress steps, once its kicked off...... Nils

    Hello Patrick, thank you very much for your nice words..., am pleased you like it.. Nils

    Hi Moxis, yes, I see you really sensed the feeling one has when the model is complete. For the Chebec I still have to build the glass case, but quite a problem remains the fact, that I have`nt an adequate place where to display it in the moment. If I set it up in my hobby room, I would have to move at least one of the other six glass cases first, but also would`nt know where in the house to put that then instead.... My wife, Marianne, suggests that I better stop building model ships for quite some time.... ( not a good idea I think...) Nils

    Hi Siggi, the Tiger looks great, wonderful the figurehead, the lines of the ship, and now your new deck ! I also like the small self cast cubic lead weights you made.... Nils

    Dear fellow builders.... my Chebec "Eagle of Algier" has been finished totay, for the final photo session in our garden, and with a good daylight illumination. Many thanks to all that followed the build, for looking in along the 9 months yourney and for your kind comments and compliments. Very much appreciated. Also many thanks to all the "Likes"..... The final pics-set of the "Eagle of Algier" can be seen in the scratch build gallery now... Nils

    small update : instead of a binnacle cabinet with compass, I made a compass column for the helmsman and placed it just after the mizzen mast... Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Stunning work Piet ! that approach bow-view with wake, smoke is fantastic ! well done..... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Hi Antony, thats a beautiful project, and a very interesting boat, that gondola, with asymmetrical build halves, can imagine its quite a challenge to get this modeled in scale...., but am sure you`re going to nail it.... All the best and good luck with the start on your yard... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Beautiful build Ian, the planking looks superb.... Nils

    Hi Thanasis, thanks for your kind words, and your compliment, they are much appreciated.... you are very welcome in visiting the chebec build log, and your own models I like very much, are so well built and representing the beautiful Greek boats of the Aegaeis and its typical islands vessels. I consider those model vessels as top notch. I just took a dive into the boat builds of your gallery, as well as your personal web site, to bring them and your skills back to mind. I shall be very pleased if the one or other details of my work could be of inspiring nature for fellow builders 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.
