    I don't know their size in scale, so all my comment is purely theoretical. I would use some kid's felt tip pen as a jig, especially their cup like this: or this, these are smaller and their general form is better match the aerial: The O-rings could be made by wire.

    This is an interesting knot. Hard to imagine how they knot it, which end is starting and which one is the finish line. I guess you have to lift up the three round and put the end under them?

    Why i missed this build so long? Now i have to read 45 pages back... Following started just now. Excellent work!
  25. Veszett Roka
    I have a very-very bad idea:
  26. Veszett Roka
    Absolutely my friend! Although the wheelhouse and the long focsle limit the possibilities somehow. In the below picture she had golf-ball satellite antenna, and an ecapsulated auxilary radar, the upper one is still Decca. The picture taken in 1984 when Calypso moored in Davenport during the Missisippi research.
  27. Veszett Roka
    She had it, in the early 50's, with the old, round window wheelhouse. Note the different (shorter) side under the foredeck: Then i found a picture with a new radar, but yet missing the big egg antenna and the helipad (still picture from 'Undersea World Of Jacques Cousteau' from 1968) but with the new bridge and shortened stack::
  28. Veszett Roka
    I think the radars on the mast are not correct. The upper one is a very early 50's (probably K-band), and the lower is probably from 80's. The model depicts Calypso in 80's era (see the satcom antenna cover, the big 'egg' behind the bridge), therefore i'd change the radars for more sleek nautical models like those on below pictures: Also i'd model the iconic circular storm-visor on the middle window of the bridge:

    Mine was a Vanguard too, white hull and grey deck with yellow stripes on back. She was a beauty, and like all women (and all raceboat), she wasn't a forgiving one.

    Comrade! From the height of the soling we called the 470-ers as slimy footed, because the algae on their wet feet I was on the wire in boat HUN-61 then moved to soling HUN-111, see my avatar pic. Just like you, i miss those days.
  31. Veszett Roka
    - F.You, today is Sunday! We're striking! Superb work Daniel!
  32. Veszett Roka
    Nice to see you on duty again Bill
  33. Veszett Roka
    To be honest, i never seen such complex paper model yet. I built only one in my childhood (Jylland, a Danish tug from the 1920's) but that ship was far simply compared to your model. Excellent workmanship.
  34. Veszett Roka
    Hi Patrick, what these thingies are at the yards' end?
  35. Veszett Roka
    Happy to hear you again Nils, i hope your wife is healthy again!

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.
