    Another lovely build in miniature, well done Alan!
  21. AJohnson
    Wow Alan, it will be nice to have some pictures of your Tribals together at the end! 😁

    There are also very good articles on the topic in the Mariners Mirror. I forget the sources, but Red Ochre was removed from the approved Admiralty list of paint pigments in 1807. So for the “real” Surprise red would be fine if you chose to model that. But for the “fictional” Surprise many of the stories are based around historical event in the 1808 - 1817 time frame. So like Chris I will be following the Lavery/Hunt book as my reference. Will be nice to see something different to red ochre! 😁

    Also glad to see you back, wonderful work!

    Congratulations Dan, what a lovely looking Ship in the sunshine! 😎
  29. AJohnson
    Really nice Jack! Love the little details you added.

    Looking very good Alan, that PE mast is more than a “bit” of an improvement!
  31. AJohnson
    That copper plate work has come out very nicely David. 👏
  32. AJohnson
    Wonderful work again Chris, and such an attractive colour scheme!
  33. AJohnson
    Great painting Alan
  34. AJohnson
    Now that is what I call a Workshop! I hope you have many happy hours in there and look forward to seeing Victory and Triton updates soon! 😀

    Welcome to MSW!
  36. AJohnson
    Centurion/Agamemnon, you absolutely have to do one, erm no, you have to do both of them! As to Russell Crow at 1/64 scale, with my eyesight passing for human will do! 🤣
  37. AJohnson
    At least hundreds, but not too many I don’t want Chris retiring before he has done Centurion! 😆

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.
