    You should try printing a 1/200 scale model to fit with most military ships. That would be immense but quite spectacular. Yves

    Chris, this is superb. And what a treat to not have to paint: I find that to be the most difficult (for me) in building a model. I truly love the look and proportions of that Vindicator, done in an era where planes were designed to really fly and not just be a cockpit pushed by big engines (basically a rock when the engine shut down). Yves

    I just bought that kit on Da-Bay a few weeks ago. Always wanted to build that monster and ominous beast. Following your build will be very helpful. I have purchased the metal landing gears from Valiant Enterprises ($20). It may be a better fit for this large and heavy plane and perhaps you should consider it, too. Yves

    Another masterpiece in the making.... Yves

    It is a big bird, for sure. Superb construction as always. Yves

    That is a very nice model in my favorite scale. I will be following your progress. Yves

    I like that blue. Gorgeous model. Yves

    Fantastic model and beautiful boat. I love the contrast between the different varieties of wood and the exceptional finish and precision of the parts. Absolutely superb. Yves

    The good stuff about these "barcos" is that they are usually fully painted. Therefore, caulking the hull and sanding it will never be a problem. Yves
  10. yvesvidal
    That is so true. And the cable is running below the surface of the pavement and rails. A very clever and advanced design. Yves

    Another OCCRE project. I will be following. Yves
  12. yvesvidal
    It is actually pretty good for a "botched" attempt. Yves

    Fantastic model. I am in awe with the mechanism of the Hydro-foils.....that is a feast of engineering and must be quite impressive to watch (and feel) when it deploys at speed. Yves

    Ronald, The sculptures are made of CNC carved boxwood. Yves
  15. yvesvidal
    A few progress on the stern and its decoration. The rear panel is made of three parts: The main sculpture is prepared on the bench: Although very delicate, this assembly inserts itself nicely in the stern of the ship. Et voila. I am going to take a short break from this vessel and do other things in the meantime. Thank you for following and for all the positive feedback. Yves

    It is always a pleasure to see your work, Wieslaw. Yves

    Some details on the rear quarterdeck: A mix of sherry wood and boxwood. Yves

    Beautiful job overall. Lots of good idea in your thread. I will have to follow your Build Log when I decide to build that kit, sitting in my stash. Yves

    Yes, I am aware of that and agree completely. My brother owned a 403 Diesel, a couple of 504 Coupe(s) and is currently driving his 504 Convertible (4 Cyl. not the horrible v6 PRV engine) among other cars. Modern Peugeot cars do not have the same quality and present absolutely no interest. Yves

    Port side completed: Yves
  21. yvesvidal
    In addition to that strange armored vehicle, Peugeot created something much more useful, the Pepper Grinder: Yves
  22. yvesvidal
    Now is the time to work on the railing of the rear quarter deck: The boxwood carvings are glued with liquid CA. And then, some painting is done: Now, I have to redo the same on the port side.... Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    Very creative (and smart) way to represent the hinges on the rudder. It is definitely easier than using brass parts as I recently did it on my CAF Chebec. Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    Such lovely and clean work. It is a pleasure to watch. Yves
  25. yvesvidal
    It is hard to believe that this is 1/200 scale. It looks so realistic and perfect. 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.
