    You are correct, strengthening the hull. It is necessary and I remember doing the same on my R/C model. Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    I feel your pain, Rob. The results are glorious. Yves
  25. yvesvidal
    Yes, this is a very serious surgery for such a large hull. Yves
  26. yvesvidal
    Maybe, you could display the car with the bonnet open, showing all the marvelous work you did on the engine. I agree with you that such bump is frustrating, especially after spending so much money and efforts to make it work. Your model remains a marvel and a master piece, no matter what your mood may be at this moment. Honestly, it looks just fantastic. Yves

    Great introduction of these legendary ships. I am currently working the wooden version of that model, designed and created by CAF Models. It will be interesting to compare the two implementations, although I suspect that you will go a lot quicker than I. The last picture is from a model from the National Marine museum in Paris. I have been drooling on it, while painstakingly gluing the various pieces of wood, included in my kit. Yves

    I can't wait for some paint to blend all these modifications into what will be the most precise and prototypical 1/200 Titanic hull on the market. Yves
  29. yvesvidal
    That is a cockpit!!! I have a hard time imagining it is made of paper and cards. The realism is breath taking. Yves

    There is always a silver lining in every problem we face. Yves
  31. yvesvidal
    It is just amazing. Rob, your model looks so much like the real thing. You are an artist. Yves
  32. yvesvidal
    You did a great job with the color of the wood planking, on the deck. I sill remember that kit when I was a kid, it was tempting and my brother built it. Yves
  33. yvesvidal
    That looks very promising. I like the inside framing and tubing.... Yves
  34. yvesvidal
    Fantastic improvement. Yves
  35. yvesvidal
    From my experience building a similar boat (Chebec Requin) from a different manufacturer (CAF Model), the only way to plank the deck is to do it one plank at a time. As you indicated, the deck is convex in one direction and concave in the other direction, and as such a flat piece of wood will never fit. It is one of the most difficult vessel to build, because nothing is flat or straight. In your instructions manual (Figure 06), it seems that you have to trace lines on the sub-deck and then cut along these lines and install the various panels, one at a time. Yves

    Thank you Nil, for that beautiful picture and model. Excellent way of presenting this unusual ship, with oars and sails. Yves

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.
