    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

    Hello, I enjoyed reading your posts and seeing your carving work. What are your favorite tools for carving Tagua nut? Thank You, 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

    Excellent review Chris. For card modelers . . . a bargain for the price. Mike p.s. Where do you recommend as the best place to purchase it?

    Lovely work Chris. It's a gem! Mike

    That is a very nice photo. I think perhaps this has become the most famous shipwreck on the Great Lakes, helped along and memorialized by Gordon Lightfoot’s song.

    Regarding the “Admiral”: You are lucky to have someone in charge who is ordering more of your ships. I salute the “Admiral”. Mike

    I don’t build wood sailing vessels so I am no expert. But, I don’t think it can be done any cleaner than this. I am curious about one thing: Since joining this site, I noticed there are quite a few Winchelseas being built. What make ship a popular choice? Mike

    Your question triggered some thoughts. Why do I model? It shows me that despite my age, I am really still a kid. There is a thrill in inventing new ways of doing things. It is gratifying to know, my current project is better than the last, but not as good as the next. The struggle for perfection is motivating, though I will never get there. Regards, Mike

    Finely done Chris. I think the Dutch might say “Gefeliciteerd!”

    Well said. I have been looking for those words to describe Ab's work. Thank You.
  17. Michael Mash
    Looks excellent. So . . . what is the next project?
  18. Michael Mash
    I do the same thing. Sometimes, for small spars I can roll them from paper. But most of them I make out of wood, and they are well suited for rigging.

    That photo proves it. Positioned on the stern, the carving looks even better.
  20. Michael Mash
    I think you did a fine job with that stern carving. Not an easy task.

    I was wondering the same thing, about the "Guest" notation. Anyway, here is a link to her youtube site. She appears to be quite busy. Olha Batchvarov - YouTube

    Hello Chris. Looks like the issue you were dealing with back on July 21 has resolved itself. Lots of additional layers and parts since then. Looks real good. Mike

    Hello Chris. Just stumbled across your "Speeljacht" project. Excellent. Now that I know you are building one of these, I'll have to keep checking in on your progress. 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.
