    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.

    Looks excellent. So . . . what is the next project?
  10. 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.
  12. 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

    Good Show !!!

    Spectacular!

    Hello Ab. What will be the best way to get a copy of your new book? Best Regards, Mike

    Seeing your preliminary work with “Masséna” motivated me to send words of encouragement. I built this ship in card/paper in 2014, and had great fun with it. It was a challenge, but it provided many hours of enjoyment. For myself, the unique characteristics were an endless source of fascination. The design features of the early French Predreadnought warships take many twists and turns, none more so than “Masséna”.

    One can plainly see when the builder is enjoying the work. Fascinating to see how all the rigging functions. It is so clearly displayed on this model. Also . . . always nice to see Imbir (briefly) supervising everything.
  22. Michael Mash
    I have not watched enough sail ship builders to know how many of them create rigging this way. That said, this seems to be more than a model built for appearance. This looks like a demonstration of how the rigging on the actual ship really worked. It makes me realize that if I ever decide to build a sailing ship, I had better first learn how all the rigging is designed to function.
  23. Michael Mash
    Your videos are just as good, or maybe better, than standing there in your workshop, watching your techniques.
  24. Michael Mash
    Clearly . . . you have an “extraordinary” understanding of how the rigging works on old sailing vessels. I have only one question: Where is Imbir? He was not in the video. I hope he is doing well.
  25. Michael Mash
    Your handmade ropes and rigging play a critical role in holding everything together . . . just like they did on the real ship.

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.
