    The Diana is most definitely one of the most beautiful kit out there. You really are doing it justice

    Some updates after months of being MIA! The whole artillery is now done, I will now move on to rigging the guns. Should be a blast. Best, Tom

    Project is not dead, I am still building the carriages. Life has a bad habit of getting in the way of me working on my Jalouse...

    No I did not clean the plates, I wanted them to turn green/brownish. I actually used to run my hand on the plating a lot to make sure it would aged faster. I have never really liked the shiny copper plating, just seems weird to me for some reason.

    Some updates, I am now building the gun carriages.
  21. thomashd
    Glad to hear more people are building the Jalouse. Such a nice model! Let me know if you have any questions and things
  22. thomashd
    The gun tackles are a bit problematic, I cannot seem to find the right tension and then there is the serious issue of making a proper rope coil at the end.

    Jalouse is not dead, I have just been on a research trip in France for my job! I finished the coppering which is now looking nice and green. The patina is really growing on me. Started the deck fittings, my favourite part of the model. If anyone has a trick to rig guns fully without losing their mind, let me know...

    The coppering is finally done! On to some more exciting things
  25. thomashd
    Mate, your Jalouse is looking splendid. The white below is very nice looking indeed!
  26. thomashd
    Coppering is still a nightmare but looking better
  27. thomashd
    The beauty of being on a holiday... I think future ships will also not be coppered I find it excruciatingly annoying and rather unpleasant for the overall aspect of the ship
  28. thomashd
    Thank you all for the encouragements! Coppering is definitely not my strong suit nor my favourite part of the build but still going steadily.
  29. thomashd
    And some more updates! Coppering will be a painful process I think

    Some more updates!

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.
