    It is coming along nicely. Beautiful model. Yves

    So funny, you would be from Annecy. I grew up mostly in the Pyrennees but would spend time on the Mediterranean coast (I lived 7 years in Nice) and occasional trips to Brittanny. I went to Annecy a couple of times, to ski in the Alps. Yves

    I am amazed how you work with brass and solder. You truly are an artist. This model is going to weight a significant amount when completed, with all these metal parts. Yves

    This model is coming along really nicely. Congratulations. Yves

    What? Jack? You are thinking about going to Tuscany without even taking a little kit with you? That is very surprising....😉 Yves

    Beautiful model of a fishing boat. I remember seeing some of these boats during my childhood, in France. Yves

    Beautiful work and nice planking Popeye. Yves

    Good question Nils, I was wondering the exact same thing..... Yves
  9. yvesvidal
    That is a lot of "Metal" on that "plastic" kit.😉 Yves

    Beautiful progress Jack. Yves

    I am glad that you are painting the hull. Many modelers are proud of their perfect planking and hate to hide it behind a coat of paint, and this is their absolute right. However, your model will be a closer scale reproduction of the real thing. Yves

    It is getting out of this world. What a marvel..... Yves

    I love that green color. Looks so realistic. What color is this? Out of a can or spray gun? Yves

    I like these "monsters".... Yves
  15. yvesvidal
    Absolutely superb. Yves
  16. yvesvidal
    Superb construction and realism. This is the first time I see a model with the lower section of the superstructures painted in black. Fantastic attention to details. Yves
  17. yvesvidal
    That is a really cool detail. Well done. Yves
  18. yvesvidal
    Arghh ...this is so beautiful, it is almost a sacrilege to paint these propellers and shafts. Yves
  19. yvesvidal
    Epoustouflant de realisme (In French in the text). Yves

    Amazing. I am happy to follow the building of a Museum quality model and to see your beautiful metal work. Yves

    Dave, It is great to see you expanding your range of interests. I am quite certain your Jag will make a lot of your IPMS buddies green with envy. Yves
  22. yvesvidal
    It is getting better and better every day. Congratulations. Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    I have said it before but will repeat: "This is museum quality". Yves

    Chuck, Now that the long boat is completed and being sold, is there any hope this endeavor can be resurrected? Would you have any new development to share with us, once you are done producing the numerous kits required for the Long boat? Thanks in advance. Yves

    You have a good point. There is no such recommendation, but I agree with you that it should not hurt. I am more concerned by the extreme tension applied by the 16 rubber bands on the structure of the cabin. But maybe I am worrying too much and I have to try rewinding it 25 times as suggested. 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.
