    What a beautiful figure head!!! Is this Artemis or Diane with her bow? I assume that this delicate figure is made out of resin. Are you planning to produce a boxwood carving of that figure? Beautiful work all around. Yves

    Beautiful, Alan. Very well done. Yves

    Well, it should be the double in all directions: eight times bigger !!! I love the 1/48th scale or the "Quarter of an Inch for a Foot", as they call it. Yves

    Superb work. It is a pleasure to watch what you are building. Yves

    Great decision to tackle such a large model. The first time I saw one of these cars for real, was on Biscayne Island, on my way for a Sunday morning brunch at the Rusty Pelican, in Miami. Needless, to say, I will be following your progress with a drooling mouth.... Yves

    I like the engine overall, but the oil filter is out of this world. Yves

    What a pleasant surprise !!! They are definitely enjoying your model. Yves

    I will be following with a lot of interest. I also wish someone would produce a 1/200th scale of the Type VII-C, someday, to go with all the larger ships in that scale. Yves

    Great job Alan. You did a fantastic job at rendering these tumultuous waters. Perhaps, you could paint some glossy clear coat on the bow to show the wet aspect of the water. Which scale will be your next Corvette? 1/200th ? Yves
  11. yvesvidal
    The depth charges are just so detailed. For 1/96 scale, it is just amazing. Yves
  12. yvesvidal
    So beautiful. I love the large net at the bow, to protect the crew from falling. You did a masterpiece with a no so easy kit. Yves

    Great model, rarely seen on this forum. You are off to a good start. Yves

    Oh my gosh...that must hurt !!! Yves

    Unbelievable !!!! You must be a plumber in your professional life.... 🙂 Yves

    Such precise and clean build. This is Museum material, for sure. Yves

    I like the four jacks provided with the kit. It is a nice touch. Yves
  19. yvesvidal
    Dave, you know how the saying goes..... 😞 Yves
  20. yvesvidal
    That should be interesting. I know that when you are done, it will be difficult to distinguish the model from the real ship. Yves
  21. yvesvidal
    Kevin, not at all. I thought about it for a fleeting moment and after rigging the bowsprit, that crazy idea quickly faded away. Yves
  22. yvesvidal
    Fantastic results. Yes, it is nice to have kits without paints....just the polishing of metals. Your pictures are incredible and if I did not know better, I would say that this is a real motorcycle. Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    The Port anchor has been secured, in a similar way: Technically, the CAF Model kit as offered by the manufacturer, is completed and finished. Actually, with the addition of the bowsprit and some other details, I went beyond what the kit is proposing. However, this saga is not completed yet as I am planning to add a longboat to Bellona. I purchased the Model Shipways / Chuck Passaro kit for that purpose and will try to build it in the coming months. So stay tuned as there will be more development and pictures. Yves

    Great progress. Yves
  25. yvesvidal
    I think the metal work is taking over the modeler's work.... Just saying 🙂 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.
