    Gary, congratulations to this super and well built ship model. You cam be proud of her as she displays in her large glass casing... Nils

    Thank you Piet, yes, I liked the look of the planking as before, but it was also a bit bare to look at. So the yellow touch provides an optical improvement and it goes quite well with the black and white... Nils

    Thank you Dan, very much appreciated... Nils

    Many thanks Mike, I brought a bit of color to the hul below the walesl, white and a bit ocher sections, but no more to the hull. Perhaps a little dull black to the bow head-rails when they are mounted...... I`m using tamiya tape for masking, which I find very clean to work with... Nils

    fantastic build in detail Dan, very accurate modeling of fine structures, I love those tiny stairs up to the bridge wings, even they have brown painted handrails !! Nils

    Chebec crew posing for a group photo....., six of them missed the appointment date with the photographer, they are still drinking and eating under deck.... Nils

    Wonderful art again Jim, beautiful arrangement with ship before glacier front, hopefully the waters are broad and deep enough to allow her to turn around there.... Nils

    Hi Mike, welcome to the log viewing audience for the Chebec and also for your much appreciated kind words and that intensive dip into the log. As you could see I`m not building the Amati kit version, and so nearly all building sequences are redesigned / bashed and in larger scale. I thought that there would be an interest by my fellow builders how I solved this, and decided to share the activities with others, in case someone should be tempted to scratch build from a drawing plan Nils

    Hi Mike, Thank you very much for your kind words for the conclusion of this build, and of course also for the other builds, for which I saw you had a deep look at. I`m pleased that you liked the models. Yes I`m very happy that my wife agrees, that as long as the models stay in my hobby sphere, its up to me how they are arranged and displayed. For the Chebec very much to my regret I unfortunately have no mooring place yet. Nils

    Grüezi Jean Paul, welcome to MSW, and enjoy your stay with your fellow builders, wish you pleasant exploring and much fun here..... Nils

    Hi Moxis, I think the British web- sites "Cornwall Boat Models" or "model Dockyard" could provide what you are looking for. They have make Quaycraft clinker Dinghi and bouble ender clinker Lifeboat in scale 1:24, lengths round a bout 200mm, but perhaps do not have then on stock right now. May be worth a try..... They will be quite a cost.., but versa scratch build on your own.. ? http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/quaycraft-boats-124.html Nils

    Hi Patrick and Aldo, many thanks for your kind and appreciative words..... Patrick, a little joke is always granted, as life is serious enough now-a-days, many thanks, pleased you like the progress.. Aldo, its been a long time since we both had the Pegasus model under way....., thanks for looking in again and for your kind words.. Nils

    Congrats to that kit Mike, it looks like a good choise, and I`m sure you are all grooved in, to have all the fun to enjoy this build... Nils

    What a lovely rememberance of your boating vacation on the channel, DLS the boat looks well built !! Nils
  18. Mirabell61
    little update : stb side now equiped with small sweep-port shutter doors (open mode), the port side will become closed sweep-ports... Nils

    very nice planking job YankeeD, Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Thanks very much Piet, that sounds great and promissing, I`ll be looking forward to your diorama...... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Good idea Bill, lets bring some "life and gunsmoke" to the forum.... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Hi Denis, Thank you for your appreciative words, that sounds great if you`ll be starting a populated model, I`ll be pleased to help where ever necessary, and following along.... (if you would need help) Here a figurine I found on a British web site by coincidence, and its scale 1:48 as well .... Painting is in progress...., arms with sword and pistol will be added after painting Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Hi Hakan, am pleased you like the little figures, they were not so easy to find in scale 1:48...... (not to be taken seriously..) The captain is the father in Law of J. Sparrow, and he decided to settle down away from the warm Carribian blue waters on his old days, he is now making the North African / mediteranian "Barbary Coast" quite unsafe with his "multy culty" crew. He has a brand new Chebec under his command, this ship is leased from his pal, Abdul, a merchant, who ordered the ship from the Algerian yard recently... Nils

    Patrick and Dave, many thanks for your kind words, much appreciated... Nils

    small update : did some more painting this morning..... in the "pirate mode", here is in scale 1:48 the handicaped one eyed, peg-legged corsair capt. pointing out to his mate, where to hide the treasure chest safely below deck... 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.
