    I would like to propose some photos of the work carried out so far for the construction of the HMS Unicorn. The problem is that it always seems like the end is approaching, but it keeps getting further away every day, because doubts always arise. For the figures I only modeled the Captain....Horatio Hornblower... just to give a proportion to everything in 1:48. I should make more figures because they are difficult to find in this scale.

      Hi Giulio,

      My profile is not really the place to post  photos of your build, I would suggest you start your own build log where a wider audience are likely to see it.

      Thanks for the clarification, I'll organize myself to do what you tell me, the truth is that I don't get around this beautiful site all in English and different from my standards. Thanks again

    I have been building the model of the HMS Unicorn 1748 frigate for many years. I attempted to reconstruct this model in 1:48 scale. There were no construction plans. There were very few elements for reconstruction. Fredrik Henrik af Chapman apparently took the plans from London and published the silhouette of the hull in his book. I started from there and with the help of the curator of the model collection in London, I redid the construction plans, but with some doubts. I'm well underway with construction. The thing that bothered me for a long time were the rigging systems on the bitts. (I also have sails) I found many ideas in your creation and I thank you for this. I have lots of questions to ask, but it would take a lot to write, so I'll do it little by little as needed, if you'll let me. The only question I ask now is: where did you find the little men you put on the ship. Congratulations for your ingenious and skillful work.

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.
