That is a beautiful part. The galleries (toilet rooms) were by far the most difficult and challenging parts of the CAF kit of the HMS Bellona, that I put together. I wish I had something of that nature, 3D printed. You did a great job at creating these complex parts with your software. Yves

Funny how the words sound the same. In French, shrimp is a "crevette". Very close to the "Krevetka". Yves

I see that you ended up not installing the anchors on the ship. Your stand is beautiful and I love that blue color picturing the oceans. Yves

These scrappers are the best way to trim and carve a hull. I used these on my HMS Bellona and I could not have done the equivalent work with sanding paper. In the old days, modelers used a piece of broken glass as a scrapper. Now, we have these pre-shaped tools that are so much easier to use. Yves

Beautiful model. It is hard to believe that it is made of paper/card. Great assembly. Yves

P-51D Mustang by CDW - FINISHED - Dragon - 1:32 Scale
yvesvidal replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
It is important to give them some good stuff. They are so cute..... By the way, the Mustang is great too, but no so cute 🙂 Yves -
Kit review 1:20 Grand Banks Heritage 46 - Amati
yvesvidal replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
Is this a re-boxing of the former kit? It looks identical to the old kit. Yves -
BE, I love your approach. This is something I have been struggling with, on my Bellona, since CAF Model does not provide much info. The Anatomy of the Ship has a little bit more details, but these anchors are so massive, they are really delicate to place on the bow, in a realistic way. Yves

Beautiful work Chuck. It is such a pleasure to vicariously build this model through your build log. I love all the astute solutions that you find to put together this incredible Build. It must take a lot of your wake-up time just thinking how everything is going to fit together. Finally, that use of the White Cedar wood is something unique in the models building world, and will probably remain your signature. 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. 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.
