    What a monster.

    Congratulations Phil !

    See image. Those wheels look better than wheels of later gun carriages.
  6. Michael Mash
    Those guns look good. Nice big wheels . . . I like those better than the small ones. Mike

    Lovely work. I think your project went quite well. Cheers, Mike

    The 9ct gold ram would be impressive. If it were my project, I would be tempted. But maybe . . . it would fail the "authenticity" test. I don't think the Greeks used it.
  9. Michael Mash
    After reading about your Blowtorches, Coal Fires and Hammer bashing, I send an enthusiastic round of applause. I think this is how they (The Greeks) would have done it! Humor aside, your ram looks good, and this project deserves the effort you are putting into it. Mike

    Hello Clare. There is a build log at Papermodelers.com. Thanks for the compliment. The build is a little rough, but as long as I am enjoying it, I'll keep working on it.

    Noticed this thread only today. Here are a pair of photos of my scratch build card/paper model experiment. It is a 1:250 scale “generic” Carrack from the late 16th or early 17th century. If it ends up successful, I will add finished photos to an album in the Gallery. Mike

    Looking more and more like Pieter Bruegel's Carrack. Nice work. Mike
  13. Michael Mash
    Different materials, but the same high quality work. Mike
  14. Michael Mash
    This is excellent. Will continue to follow. Mike

    It is a pleasure to watch this scratch build project. I'm hoping the yacht for the Amsterdam exhibition does not pause this for long. Mike

    Many here are trusting that your recovery is going well. There is an old saying: “Trust . . . and verify” Can you provide some “verification” Mary? Best Regards, Mike

    Until this latest group of photos, I didn't realize this is a "scratch" build project. All the more impressive. Mike
  18. Michael Mash
    Such a neat looking old ship. Nice work. I always enjoy watching builders with this one. Mike

    Enjoying the photos showing the work with your Carrack. I wish I could provide some tips for the sails, but I lack such experience. Will be watching to see how you solve the problem. Mike

    Hello Bryan. Excellent photos and good news. Now that we know both, what is going on inside (Nave Egizia) and what is going on outside (air conditioning) of the Mossy Shipyard. I see no reason to be any less envious than I was last time I read an update. And with all those shade trees keeping your cooling bills low, and with your wife cheering you on from the far inside corner of the shipyard, you should have enough money and motivation to not only finish the Nave Egizia, but to leap forthrightly and enthusiastically into the next project. Godspeed. Mike
  21. Michael Mash
    That' good news Mary. Perhaps a little activity (not too much) will help with recovery. I am curious: Was the knee problem on the same side at the hip surgery?
  22. Michael Mash
    Good photos of excellent work Chris. I have always admired the red color of that type of aircraft. Really sets it apart. Mike
  23. Michael Mash
    Outstanding work with your Fuso. In an attempt to get an answer to your question about anti-slip mats, my search of the internet came up empty. However, if I may offer an opinion: Japanese WWII battleships did not likely use modern-style rubber anti-slip mats as we understand them today in the superstructure. However, they probably employed various materials and methods to address the issue of footing. Mike

    It is a beautiful collaboration between yourself and Emiel. I am a fan of his “Renaissance” style. My compliments to both of you. Mike

    Just ran across this. What a pleasure reading through your thread about building your dedicated shipyard. I can imagine how many of us would love to be able to create something like this dedicated to our hobby, if only we had the money, space and/or time. Watching you do this is inspiring. Are you sure there will be enough room in there for both you and your wife? Better keep your elbows down. Really looks great in that last photo, with the wheel on the front. It has a bit of a “western saloon” look about it. A gravel path from the front door to the house might help keep mud out when things get wet. Great work. 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.
