    Beautiful work. You did a good job on the stern, which is not easy. Yves

    Beautiful and realistic davits. You are an expert at soldering and bending brass tubes. Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    You should try printing a 1/200 scale model to fit with most military ships. That would be immense but quite spectacular. Yves

    Chris, this is superb. And what a treat to not have to paint: I find that to be the most difficult (for me) in building a model. I truly love the look and proportions of that Vindicator, done in an era where planes were designed to really fly and not just be a cockpit pushed by big engines (basically a rock when the engine shut down). Yves

    I just bought that kit on Da-Bay a few weeks ago. Always wanted to build that monster and ominous beast. Following your build will be very helpful. I have purchased the metal landing gears from Valiant Enterprises ($20). It may be a better fit for this large and heavy plane and perhaps you should consider it, too. Yves

    Another masterpiece in the making.... Yves
  28. yvesvidal
    It is a big bird, for sure. Superb construction as always. Yves
  29. yvesvidal
    That is a very nice model in my favorite scale. I will be following your progress. Yves
  30. yvesvidal
    I like that blue. Gorgeous model. Yves
  31. yvesvidal
    Fantastic model and beautiful boat. I love the contrast between the different varieties of wood and the exceptional finish and precision of the parts. Absolutely superb. Yves
  32. yvesvidal
    The good stuff about these "barcos" is that they are usually fully painted. Therefore, caulking the hull and sanding it will never be a problem. Yves
  33. yvesvidal
    That is so true. And the cable is running below the surface of the pavement and rails. A very clever and advanced design. Yves
  34. yvesvidal
    Another OCCRE project. I will be following. Yves
  35. yvesvidal
    It is actually pretty good for a "botched" attempt. Yves

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.
