    As I wrote earlier on: simply beautiful! Uwe
  19. Oboship
    After having enjoyed your detailed Trial build log it is a must to follow on your Sparkler's! I like the idea to build the brig hove-to, particularly considering your sail making skills. Have fun with the new project! Uwe
  20. Oboship
    Beautiful! Uwe
  21. Oboship
    Great sail making! Glad to see you back on deck again! Uwe

    Dan, This is a really beautiful model! Very well done in all aspects! I would also like to buy this kit but I still have Speedy on the work bench and Trial and Nisha on the shelf. To squeeze in Adder would mean some serious negotiations with the admiral (the superintendent as we would say in the merchant navy...). Uwe
  23. Oboship
    Do you know why we typically depict the topmast and topgallant yards in the lower position on the masts if they were usually raised? Was that their position in port? To lower the yards while the ship was anchored would also lower the centre of gravity to some extent. Fully furnished yards (sails, blocks etc.) were considerably heavy and -when in raised position- may have caused some uncomfortable and endangering movements of the ship in stronger winds. This is also the reason why top masts and topgallant masts were struck in severe weather conditions. If I recall it correctly, these manoeuvres are described more in detail in "Seamanship In The Age of Sail" by John Harland (my absolute favourite book to look up certain operations). Coming back to modelling: your Adder is really nice and well done! I like the pictures! Uwe
  24. Oboship
    Although it is technically a fore sail you created so brilliantly, it is a TOP sail, qualitywise 😉! Very nicely done, can't wait to see Trial with her full set of sails! On a side note, I like your "Keep calm..."-motto. A good approach to help settle serious modelling issues..😁. Uwe
  25. Oboship
    Beautiful planking and craftsmanship! Uwe
  26. Oboship
    Up to now I haven't paid too much attention to half hull models. But after I have seen your build log today I will certainly be following your progressing! Very nice and accurate planking! Thanks for a great and detailed build log! Uwe
  27. Oboship
    Superb planking! I wish your finger a speedy healing (we are waiting for your further progressing...😉)! Uwe
  28. Oboship
    Beautiful model with a deep love to detail! Although I haven't "pressed the buttons" everytime I carefully followed your log from the beginning, and it will be a very good reference for me to spy on when I get to work on my Trial. I am glad your recovery is successfully progressing! Uwe
  29. Oboship
    Your very detailed build log is an ideal reference for others! Great build and pictures. Uwe
  30. Oboship
    Looks great! Uwe
  31. Oboship
    I love this ship and your building skills! Since I am a merchant marine man I don't have an admiral, but a superintendent to negotiate important purchases with...😉 Uwe
  32. Oboship
    Great build! Uwe

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.
