Amazing Anthony, simply amazing. This is going to be such a large cross-section. At this scale, you can envision using some of the numerous and available figures at 1/35 scale to populate all these decks. Fantastic job. Yves

Yes, it is true that Corel does a Bellona at 1/100 scale. It is small, very difficult to work at this scale and the kit is quite expensive. What we need is a Bellona at 1/64th scale to go with most of the Period Ships made. There is a fellow on the Scratch Build Forum that has started a Bellona at 1/64th and it is a master piece. Yves

Oh my God. This is a dream come true: Dorade is one of my favorite boat!!! Beautiful work and thank you for offering us such jewel of precision and beauty. Apparently, your boat is at the scale of 1/96 (or 1/100). Olin S. would be very proud of you. Yves

Richard, please don't be shy to post pictures. It is not everyday that we get a chance to admire such beautiful and impressive boat. Wonderful start so far! Yves

I agree with you all about the retractable keel. I would not show it on the finished model, although it would be cool to have some kind of mechanism (spring or others) that allows you to pull it out, with automatic retraction inside the hull. This could be a nice feature on a static model. The lines of the hull are so pure that the lower keel would break the incredible beauty of the J class. As for the height of the mast, unless you place the model on the floor, you will need a ladder to work on the top of it. I cannot wait to see more progress and pictures. Yves

Madness? Yes, I am mad when I saw that you did not build the anchors with metal. That is not like you Dan, and you are taking short cuts Beautiful work as always. I enjoyed your Swan so much: I hope you found a good home for it. Yves

Bismarck by NBP - 1:100
yvesvidal replied to NBP's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1901 - Present Day
Norberto, Your work is fabulous. It was my dream to build the Bismarck at the scale of 1/100 when I was younger (a kid). I built a couple of turrets and then gave up, busy with other tasks and projects. Please, do not be shy of posting your progress, accomplishments and challenges with lots of pictures to make us dream. I will be following your Building Log with a lot of regularity. Where did you get the plans at the scale of 1/100. I can see that there are written in Italian. The YAMATO is a monster in size and in amount of weaponry. Perhaps, after the Bismarck, you can resume the Yamato, unless you decide to build the HMS HOOD to go with the Bismarck. So many projects, so many dreams....so little time. Yves -
Dan does this mean we say good-bye to the Swan? Yves

Great project. Finally, a cross section with a sizeable dimension, so as to allow lots of details. Will you be showing the entire mast or will you stop at the first level? If at all possible, please take a picture with a human reference next to it, so that we can appreciate the size of the model. Thanks Yves

Folks, I am with you all and love tug boats. My brother built the Saint-Charles a french tugboat at the 1/35 scale: I do not have a picture of his model, but it is the exact same one with a black hull (an earlier paint scheme). Below is the real stuff, on the banks of some river, most likely Paris or perhaps Marseilles. Tug boats are very special. Yves

Bob, This company used to produce some nice hulls and sell plans as well. I do not know if they may have a similar tug type as what you want to achieve: http://scaleshipyard.com/Catalog%20Pages/auxillaries.html#WHU-A%203 Yves

Richard, this is a breath of fresh air! Finally, some changes from the period Ships. I will be following with great interest your Build Log. Please make sure you take a lot of pictures and that you have a small ladder to take care of the rigging.... Thank you for doing this kit. Yves

Tony, Beautiful work and great progress on the rigging. I was wondering what motivated you to install cannons on your Mayflower model. Thanks Yves

DeAgostini's HMS Victory Cross-Section -1/72
yvesvidal replied to bentrider1a's topic in Wood ship model kits
I don't want to kill your hopes, but after writing a while back, I never got an answer from them. You may be luckier.... I hope it. Yves -
Cdogg, Take a look at this thread: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2260-kit-review-mayflower-165-by-constructo/ It may help you a little bit in taking a decision. Yves

Jack, I believe you figured out the best way to plank that complicated bow. The planks will butt against part B, while being glued to all parts C and your intermediate filling. Part A will protrude and will be use used to mount the front pieces of the bow. It will require some serious bending of the planks to make all fit cleanly and tightly. You can put the kettle on the stove... 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.
