    My model won a third degree diploma at the Tsemess Bay 2019 Cup in Novorossiysk. Since the rules of competitive pricing are stricter in Russia, this is tantamount to a bronze medal in European competitions.

    Hello. My name is Rafael, I am from Russia, the city of Rostov-on-Don. I finished this model from Mantua, construction has been going on since the beginning of 2018. The blue-green “backing” is an element of the future case, still in the manufacturing process. I decided to move away from the toy look, which is offered by the manufacturer and in which previously built models of this set were presented, there was a desire to make a more realistic image. Therefore, all brass parts (staples, rings, falconets and a gun) were blackened, steel parts burned. In the work I used stains for nuts (hull, mast, sensible things and oars) and for mahogany (runners, carriages). I bought the cheapest in a hardware supermarket. Black details (planshire, etc.) were painted with Tamiya black acrylic paint, the underwater part and oars were painted with white Tamiya paint. I didn’t like the native threads for rigging, I bought it separately. Sail sewed himself, took information from everywhere. The native instruction on it practically does not give any sensible information.

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.
