    Very sweet recovery! yves

    Great collection of pictures. Your models are amazing. Yves
  3. yvesvidal
    It is coming along nicely. Great work. Yves

    Fantastic job. I would try to drill a little bit, these canons for realism.....It is difficult to say, from the picture. Yves

    For the separate ovens.... I can fully understand: you don't want your bread or pastries to smell like venison or roasted chickens. For the checkered floor, it (unfortunately) reminds me of the flooring used in all Grand Lodges of the Masonic fraternities, where some significant atrocities are committed. I will not say more about that... Yves

    I never really understood, why the Brits were so fond of these diamond shaped floors.... I did not know they would even place them in their barges (granted, this one is an "Admiral" barge). Any explanations would be most welcome. Yves

    You have been doing some cleaning on your bench.... Very nice. Yves

    That is exactly how Revell should have approached these beautiful kits: using spars made of real wood. Yves
  9. yvesvidal
    Great job. Now, you need to source small sheets of thin mahogany to finish the hull, in a similar way to Sea Goddess. Yves

    Tom from CAF Models, will send you replacement parts, if anything bad happens. Yves
  11. yvesvidal
    Beautiful.
  12. yvesvidal
    Good choice. It looks much better this way. Yves

    I would second your comments completely, as I have the same remarks with the Bellona kit. Fortunately, the hull is planked with limewood which is more suitable for this kind of purpose. I like the cherry tree for details, especially soaked with a liquid orange oil/olive oil/bees wax concoction that I find at Home Depot. Yves

    Incredibly beautiful and realistic. It was hard for me to pick up a picture, but I think this one summarizes the excellence of your work. Yves

    Guns factory: Putting together the remaining 18 pounders and starting some 9 pounders to go on the quarterdeck: Yves

    Great progress on that beautiful hull. Are you planning to use Fujimi bridge and central superstructure or the parts provided with the Nichimo kit? Yves
  17. yvesvidal
    You deserve the title of "King of the Railings". Very impressive work and very realistic. Yves
  18. yvesvidal
    You are spoiled !!! For the Bellona, there was no words, no explanations and barely a letter to indicate which wood to use. Because of the clinker planking, they gave you some additional information. CAF kits are great and the models very interesting. I wish they could have a James H. to do their documentation and instructions. Yves

    I work in silence, too. It is a form of meditation. Yves
  20. yvesvidal
    The repair looks fabulous. You did a great job. Yves
  21. yvesvidal
    That purple Super Clean chemical is really great. I use it a lot for all kinds of purposes. Yves
  22. yvesvidal
    I wonder how this Gunze/Revell kit compares with the Pocher/Protar/Italeri kits? It will be interesting to see your build. Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    You have to rotate them before inserting them.
  24. yvesvidal
    That is an incredibly old kit. I had never seen it before. Yves
  25. yvesvidal
    I am going through the same challenges with my Bellona and have decided to no longer follow the suggested documentation. So far, so good. 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.
