    "And to (almost) cap it all, I now have to pay import duty for my materials I get from the EU, which seems very arbitrary (with Germany being the absolute worst culprit)" And buying the kit in France, I also would have to pay import duties & probably a fee to UPS to pay them for their collecting the import duties. That's what happened when I bought a book on Amazon that was shipped to me from the UK. Richard Edited on Saturday, 21 August 2021 at 18:38 (GMT + 2) à Paris, France; sent later.

    Is there any way to get information on Modelcon without having to connect to Facebook. I'd be very interested in finding out as much as possible about Modelcon without having Facebook put cookies on my computer.

    No it doesn't make you strange but I believe a way should be made to make it visible. Richard

    And another reason why the world (except Trump land) has adapted the metric system.

    I think one of the first questions would be how to modify the sides to be able to show some of the detailed interieur & how to illuminate it with LEDs.

    The movie is all over the Internet, if you know where to look. I just watched in my PC, way in the outback of Normandy. We've got more cows here then people. The book which can be found on the Internet is much better, it shows the charater interactions amongst the players & various players thoughts abut the other players, something the movie leave out.

    Chris There is an ancient Egyptian boat in very good condition in a museum at the base of the pyramids. It's a bit earlier the the middle kingdom under Hatshepsut's , by about 1000 years. It date from the period of the pyramids. Richard

    Please don't go crazy. You are doing a fantastic job. I think that we can all realize and appreciate the work that you are doing. Richard

    Wow, that means the packing "crate" must be at least 1 meter in the diagonal. Richard
  21. Suzdal
    Chris, Could you go into some detail on what the difference is between the 2 versions. Richard

    I also wanted to thank BE. He is proving to very helpful on my build of lady Eleanor. I've learned a tremendous amount by following him. Merci Richard

    I'm was getting worried that the Flirt was being forgotten with in the Victory. I want to Flirt around as soon as I've finished Lady Eleanor. Since the Victory has a bit more rigging then the Flirt and if your worried about not having enough swear words, I'd be happy to translate your list into to french. Am waiting with a great deal of expectation, as I am sure are many others, on your Victory build. Je vous souhaite la meilleure construction possible. Richard

    Thank you for the tulle tip & how you planked. By using water, do you mean soaking the lime wood planks for about 20 minutes, near to boiling water before trying to fit them? That's what I did for the pear wood bulk works. What do you mean by heat?, a hair drier. Sorry to bug you, this is my first attempt a model boat. If I succeed with this one, "Flirt" will be next on my list. After that, who knows the "Victory" if I can find the room. Richard

    There is one thing that sort of bothers me with the modification you have made to the wheel. Where does the helmsman stand. Normally he would want to face forward, behind the wheel. The mechanism would sort of prevent this & plus he would have to stand on the thwart (further from the boat's center of gravity, a bit more unstable). What did you make the nets from ? Are you going to add a fish smelling perfume to the open hatch ? I've had to hold up on my Eleanor since I'm spending some unscheduled time in the hospital. As soon as I get put I'll be starting the 1st planking. Did you start in the middle for that and work towards the bow and stern and pin as you went along? Did you also soak the lime planks to get them to fit better? Richard

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.
