    Small update: I forgot to add a little aid detail how the 7 headed crew could enter down to the pinnace from board. Here now is a flexible and removable short Jacob`s ladder over the port side.... Nils

    Wonderful WW1 aircraft Mike Congrats, well done ! Nils

    Hi Ed, I like the idea with the horizontal installed deadeys for lead-lines in the lower shrouds... Nils

    Hi Don, I did`nt flatten or drill these at all, they come like this ( via Ebay) for little costs, and they only need to be bent to shape.... I remember showing the making of "mini shackles" way back in my Gorch fock build log, using these..... Nils https://www.ebay.de/itm/20-Stk-Verbinder-Kettenglied-9mm-nickelfrei-H77-/120407595118?pt=Schmuckgestaltung&hash=item1c08da186e If you type "Mini shackles" into the seach criteria box on the MSW home page you should find that passage there in two of my Gorch Fock posts....

    Hi Patrick, thats a very ambitious super yacht (Khalilha) you have chosen. With all those curved surfaces I think I would never find through, let alone fitting out the interior, but you had a good test run with your fab. "Shadow" Wish you a steady hand and good luck with the build... Nils

    Thanks very much for looking in Jason, and for your nice words...... Thank you also to all the "Likes"... for clicking in here is a little update for the sprit / formast stay and the chain water-stay..., also making some mini shackles... Nils the water stay is a brass chain with soldered links... the small pulley with 2 single sheaved blockes spans the formast stay, and gives the chain water stay a slight tension when the sprit is minimal lifted these are the small members I make the mini.shackles from.... (bend them into "omega shape" )

    Hi Denis, would these figures in scale 1:87 (HO gauge) perhaps meet with what you are looking for..... https://www.ebay.de/itm/Preiser-139-Figuren-Set-Passanten-um-1900-unbespielt-OVP-1-87-H0/263525822019?hash=item3d5b5cee43:g:EkcAAOSwr21amCMx https://www.ebay.de/itm/Familie-um-1900-Preiser-HO-Figuren-1-87-12132-E/392008717629?epid=1104825627&hash=item5b458a553d:g:AOYAAOSwOyJau6AO https://www.ebay.de/itm/Preiser-12138-HO-Reisende-Passanten-um-1900-6-Figuren/302656750528?epid=1211049894&hash=item4677bf83c0:g:k28AAOSw5VtaFr-f Nils

    Hi Piet, thanks for your kind comment... For the port side I´ll have the sweeps here as they are shown, and on the stb. side I`m intending to have them through the oar-ports. Together with the pinnace next to the ship on port bow, and the outsticking sweeps on the other, the glass case (later on ) will have to be wider than usual.... Nils

    Dan, thank you very much for your nice comment, much appreciated, I`m pleased that you like the chebec as she is.... Nils

    nice paint job Igor, Nils
  13. Mirabell61
    Thank you Denis, yes, I`m also quite pleased with the result of fixing the pinnace on the "watersurface" outboards, and the little figures, I found on Ebay, in scale 1:48 undergo a little bit of plastic surgery and painting. ( at least one arm at the oars) .The tricorn hats are also self made.... Nils
  14. Mirabell61
    update, made the brackets that take up the 9 sweeps of the port side (on the port outside of the QD)... Nils
  15. Mirabell61
    excellent work with the guns and their carriages Karl ! Nils
  16. Mirabell61
    Wunderbar Denis, simply wunderbar !! A great model with lovely fitting out details... Nils

    Hi Kees, looks like a goo idea , and sound very promissing,.... I`m quite curious on the outcome... NIls
  18. Mirabell61
    Lovely stairs Denis, I can imagine what it looks like with those period dressed figurines on them..... Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    Nice work on the hull Bob, looking forard to the next sequences.... Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Wow ! Javier, what a detail in paint work, it looks outstanding ! Nils

    Hi Patrick, did you already contact the Palmer & Johnson Yachts yard for any helpful plans or drawings. I could imagine they would not be too restrict to get free promotion through a model builder`s work, who is also member of an international model building forum.... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Hi Ken, thank you for looking in and for your kind words, much appreciated... I`m pleased you like it... The scale 1:48 is the maximum for a chebec model I can deal with length wise, and also the hight is at the limit, due to the extention of those large yards Nils

    Thank you for your kind and appreciative comment Dave, Nils

    Christos, one of the men stays at the beach and looks after the pinnace. He stays sober hopefully and is equiped with a can of frech squeezed orange juice..... 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.
