Thanks for your experience. Yes there is danish oil on the ship. Hopefully it will be ok. (Tak uvidíme ako to bude vyzerať, pravdepodobne máš pravdu, no môže to byť aj inak :D.)

Dear fellow modelers, I made some progress with standing rigging. I added shrouds and deadeyes. Is till need to fill ratlines. Here are some pictures. I added top mast backstays, I rigged the forestay and the jibstay. Here are pictures of that. I have one question for you. Do any of you have any experience with drying of the wood on the ship? What I mean is it possible that it will somehow crack or make visible wider spaces between planks? I know that it depends on humidity of wood. But It should be

Dear fellow modelers, firstly thank you for all the likes. Yes the finish line is near and the finishing is happy and sad at once. Happy because everything is comming together and sad because part of something is ending. Also this is last modeling project for some time I think as I would like to start building my own house next year and in January we are expecting our first child. I would like to come back as soon as possible, but few years will pass definitely. Back to build. I manage to rig cannons. For the rope coils of cannons I used double sided tape. It has worke

Dear fellow modelers, I made a lot o progress. I finished the hull and made all parts of mast and spar. I took everything from my workshop and transfered it to my house. It is warmer there and basically now I need "only" to assembly everything. Here are some pictureds from rigged cannons. Everythink on the hull is varnished with danish oil. And here are the parts for mast and spar. I never thought that I could do it so fast. I know it is not p

Hello felow modelers, I thought hard about what to do next, before I start with mast and spar . Probably I need to secure cannons on the deck. But before I thought I will finish shipyard. As you can see on the pictures. New added wood is withou any color. I also added swivel gun post on right side, you can see them on the pictures below. As my main rail is little bit thicker I needed to cut opennings in it for the swivels. I am planning to hav 6 or 7 supporting joists on both sides - I will see how i will like it.

Dear fellow modelers, It is starting to get really cold and the sun is setting earlier, you are going to your workshop, start a fire in your stove and feel the warm from it getting stronger. This is the situation everyone from us loves. You start building your ship again. I made very small progress, but every step counts. I finished chainplates with deadeye on right side of ship and started left side. I used brass wire 0,8 mm thick. I wrapped it around the deadeye. I used pliers and bent the made chainplate in correct way. Then when both ends of wire were together i sol

Dear fellow modelers, because situation with covid worsen every day in Slovakia and governement is restricting people, I had a lot of time to spent in my workshop. Even better is that my wife is spending this time with me. She has her own project. I was able to fininsh the sternpost part of the ship. I added the windows and made rudder. Here are some pictures from it. I also finished the cannons. I was little bit afraid of that because first cannon took like 6 hours of work to finish. But the rest five I ma

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.
