    I suspect that you and I are not the only ones. One problem I'm having is to translate all the technical terms in to products I can buy in France/Internet. Such as "matt polyurethane varnish".I did a google search and came up with https://www.ebay.fr/itm/VAL27651-Av-Polyurethane-Vernis-Mat-200ml/202177657484?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3D63098d2ee2f145c8bb36efc44398039a%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D30%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D324123542252%26itm%3D202177657484%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2386202%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2386202.c100677.m4598 https://www.amazon.fr/VAL27651-Polyurethane-Varnish-Matte-200ml/dp/B00BATAAVO/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=mat+polyurethane+varnish&qid=1585945737&sr=8-4 I hope that is what James was talking about. Operating in a non english speaking country, things get lost in translation and purchasing. Richard

    I'll be going for it as soon as it becomes available. My current build of the Victory cross section is a good learning experience, like always read ahead in the instructions and make sure you see where all the dependencies are on to what your doing at any given moment. I can't wait for it to become available. After that I'll tackle with something with more rigging. Rigging doesn't scare me; I'll have to admit that planking makes me a bit anxious. Richard

    One main question. How long will I have to "dream" before I can get my hands on it. Another question has to deal with Brexit, do I get it with out the UK charging me taxes since they're no longer in the EU. Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see. Richard

    As a beginner, I'm just building D'Agostini's' cross section of the Victory, as my first build, I'm carefully following your build of Lady Isabelle. It is a bit daunting for a beginner ! I'm going to try it as soon as its available, with sails, but your build log will be invaluable: the methods of painting, sanding, varnishing (?), futur rigging, ... Please continue, your information will be invaluable as far as I'm concerned. Richard

    Not knowing where you are located Bonjour SpyGlass, Vallorbe seems to sell directly to only people resident in Switzerland. I live in France so I used two French websites in order to order some of their files. Both sites will deliver internationally. I not knowing where you are located, but you should be able to find a local site where Vallorbe files are sold. http://ecatalog-mob.maqprint.fr/chapitre.php?cha_id=920 The above site is well organized Richard

    Looking at the Vallorbe website is like walking into a candy store. They have so much choice. Never have know so much choice existed. I've just placed an order for their models: Limes de précision: flat grooved on 3 sides and one grooved on 2 sides (top and bottom), and what they call rifloir, ones that have curved endings. Thanks very VERY much for mentioning the site. Now all I have to do is keep impatiently looking at my mailbox. 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.
