    Hello Ken, I haven't seen the film or read the book. But it sure must have been an impressive and dangerous journey. This is the link to the official movie trailer. Lenght of the video is 2:15. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=uwBoFAUBEJg&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DuwBoFAUBEJg This is the link to 'The Tangaroa Expedition' (The Kon-Tiki Expedition) 2012 documentary. Lenght of the bideo is 52:29. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=29waAjmbO2w&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D29waAjmbO2w This is a link to 'Kon-Tiki 1947'. It has English commentary, but a Russian commentator speaks through it. Lenght of the video is 58:13. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=JGBHIFsn2K8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DJGBHIFsn2K8 And last a link which brings you to the Kon-Tiki museum in Oslo, Norway. http://www.kon-tiki.no/ Enjoy! Anja

    Hello Mark, I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Please make sure that there are no wood splinters or any dust in the wounds. I am certainly no doctor or nurse, and I don't want to scare you, but those type of wounds are likely to favour the growth of tetanus organisms. Just a concerned me talking. Just take good care. Anja

    Hello AJ, Thanks for sharing this beautiful build with us. It's great to see the Friesland being build again. I will follow this with interest. PS - A Dutch guy (Hans) is building the Friesland as well. Also a Mamoli kit. He's already working on the sails. He has is own website. It is in the Dutch language, but you can also choose to translate the website in English. Not every word will be translated correctly though. But maybe it is worth having a look. The link will take you to the first page of his build in English. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?client=tmpg&depth=1&hl=en&langpair=nl%7Cen&rurl=translate.google.com&u=http://www.vanhalterenweb.nl/modelbouw/%3Fcat%3D5%26paged%3D12&usg=ALkJrhhS1vwaecUxS-wbcO7TeTPxfnrSoA Good luck with your build. Take care, Anja

    No Popeye, nothing like that. I saw a beautiful lamp though on the warrior, but it's still hanging there in the cabin. Don't worry Mobbsie, you'll find everything still in place. But I did find an extra birthday present in the suitcase He was allowed to sit in the driver seat, but not to take the bus home with him. He wish! Luckily for our wallet we didn't see any model shops around. Thank you Grant. It was our pleasure. It was just a pity the masts were removed. Thank you Aldo. I hope the cake was to your liking. And don't worry, Sjors won't cast a powerful spell. His magic wand needs recharging Thank you Jim. Of course I dragged Sjors with me. I love him and can't be without him. Thanks again my friends! Take care, Anja

    Hello Augie, Lifts and leech lines are looking good. Neat job! But what is this, we're home and now you are leaving us. You will be missed. I hope you have a great time with the family. Enjoy and be safe. See you when you get back, Anja

    Hello Thomas, Have you thought of doing a scratch build? Tri-Coastal Marine designed three full size ships for Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Modelshipmaster.com has made the Black Pearl. http://www.modelshipmaster.com/products/pirate/index.htm It is a scratch-built from official blueprint and drawing. You can e-mail them for information about those plans if you wish. E-mail to: services@modelshipmaster.com Good luck, Anja

    Hello Volker, Welcome back! It's great to see you and your Albatros back again. She's a beauty. I like the combination of the white paint with the wood. When she is completely finished, will you place the finished pictures in the gallery? Take care, Anja

    Hello Kester Nice to see you here. And thank you, I did have a great day. And as for all the work .... It is my pleasure. There will be some wind tomorrow coming from the south, so I will follow Mobbsie's advise and stay on the starboard side of the ship and out of the wind. Thanks again and take care, Anja

    Hello Sergey, Thank you for sharing how to make treenails, or the buttons as you call them. This is a tip that should also be posted in the Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck forum. Will you also post this here? http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/740-methods-for-making-treenails/page-8 Thank you! Anja

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.
