    It required lots cutting, but all of those "arched" openings give it great character. Nice work. Mike

    Man O Man. That is quite a change in appearance since the previous photos. Now it's an Ab Hoving ship. Looking forward to your photographer doing his work with this. Mike

    It is always fun to “speculate” about old photos. Several observations: The woman and the man to her right are formally dressed, so I assume they are together with the car. The other two figures back further may be workers on the boat. The photographer did not catch them unaware. They are all looking at the camera. Finally, this photo gives the impression that this is a ferry, rather than a supply boat. Looks like the car is ready to disembark. Mike

    QUOTE: “In my analysis of the painting, it has become increasingly clear that while the depiction appears to be perspectively correct, it is not. The optical foreshortening and the vanishing point perspective, as well as the perspective of the bow and the stern, cannot be reconciled.” ALVB Hello ALVB, To me, it is fun to see this attempt to create the carrack in this painting, despite the fact that the image in the painting does not have the correct perspective. There are many details on the painting that will need to be corrected to produce a realistic model. I think the important point is the “inspiration” this painting provides to inspire the builder to create the best rendition his skills will allow. You are entitled to some artistic license with this project. I hope you have fun with it. Mike

    I enjoy reading your notes about the process of making all the decisions. Looks like you have not yet decided to include guns. If you do, will the gun-barrels be made of card, paper or something else? Mike

    Quote: ……. “I was deeply impressed by the movie about Bob Dylan. My youth passed by. What a fantastic film and what a fantastic actor and what a fantastic singer/songwriter... I have been a fan ever since The times they are a changing. 1964?” …………. Ab Hoving Yes. If I recall correctly, "The Times They Are a-Changin'." Was written by Bob Dylan and recorded by him in 1964. Following up on that, it was then recorded by a group called “The Byrds”, in 1965. They were known for singing many of Bob’s songs, but in their own unique style (I preferred their version). Mike

    I noticed several aircraft and a ship that you pulled out of your archive . . this one from seventeen years ago. This is my favorite. Looks like the old camera did quite well. The photos look good as does the work. Thanks for sharing these with us. Mike

    Gorgeous hull. Excellent photos. Mike

    All those drawings add up to plenty of inspiration. The copy of the Van de Velde grisaille “enlarges” nicely. It has an enormous amount of detail. Back to your model ………… you are a quick builder. Looks like the gold leaf will work out well. Mike

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.
