    Wow! Those boats are truly remarkable at this scale. Boat envy!

    Iilhan, thank you for your excellent, clear (boat) tutorial..... a project I've been toying with for some time. What was the sheet plastic thickness you used? Apart from the internal architecture, I will be interested to see how you represent the keel on each boat.

    Impressed with your model, especially the rigging. What thread have you used and your method/technique for attaching it, please?

    It takes all sorts. I've been aboard for some years without presenting a model, yet still get involved on a daily basis. I simply like to admire ships and ship models. I see you're from the UK. I remember when that was largely true.
  23. shipman
    Richard, have you tried moth balls?
  24. shipman
    Every new post is simply overwhelming.
  25. shipman
    Oil.... what kind?
  26. shipman
    KG, that was impressive. Do you mind me asking which paint you were using and did you have to thin it for the pen? It's been many years since I used my own; some would like to know that the pen is best charged with a brush.
  27. shipman
    Yes, I have the same opinion regarding the growing use of 3D resin castings or printings. I note the pointed plank fudge in your own build. No doubt paint will hide that. In fact, if the boat is painted inside and out, why bother using wood at all? A DIY vacformed plastic hull would do........then one could fill an entire harbour with them.
  28. shipman
    I recently posted photo's of 3 different 'Falconet' 1:72 4,6, 19 oared boat kits, all of which have the planks pre spiled. I believe there are other similar kits (Master Kirobel?)
  29. shipman
    Are these boats to be painted? If so, this is fine. However, if the planking is to be visible, surely the planks should be spiled correctly (even at this scale). No real boat would be planked as you have done. Once this detail is appreciated, your method reveals the parody it is. Just saing.
  30. shipman
    The finest build of this kit I've seen, congratulations. I've had the privilege of seeing/hearing 2 originals and an equally rare replica. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
  31. shipman
    My many years admiring aircraft have taught me they have no discernible panel lines (as depicted on nearly all kits), only subtle contrast from one panel to another.
  32. shipman
    I must say, not only is your build top notch; so is your excellent photography.
  33. shipman
    A big fave of mine; what a machine the 'Frightning' was. One of Airfix's first 'modern' kits and a good one.

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.
