You would not even get the fumes for 50 cents. Yves -

At 1/14th scale, it must be a rather large model. Yves -

Great body lines. This car is growing on me.... Yves -
I remember seeing quite a few of these Ferrari, when I was living on the French Riviera. The most interesting was to cross the border and go to the "wealthy" towns right behind the border. There, you could see all the rich Italian kids parading in their Ferrari's and hooting all the Bella Ragazzas in the streets. One may wonder why the people were so affluent in these border towns: Simply because what they were selling was tax free and not taxed at 33% like most so called luxury products, on the French side. The greediness of the French government, made the fortune of these Italian folks. Yves

Fantastic model Nils, so artfully and quickly done. Your work is truly inspiring by the diversity of the models that you build and the exquisite rendering of the details that can be found on these ships. Now, what is your next project? Yves

Superb model. I love all the fishing rigs, clearly visible and artfully displayed. I also like the lighter shades of the wood, which is in plain contrast with the dark woods usually provided in Spanish kits. You made a little marvel of this rare kit. Yves

Very interesting model. I do have a question though: Are you sure that the planking of the hull was not supposed to be on each half-hull? I am asking this question, because BB is notorious for inventing the half-hull planking and then connecting both halves together. Perhaps, you decided to do otherwise.... Just wondering. Yves

Your work is fantastic. Building a case is my weak point.... I do not have the equipment, tools and skills to do that. Yves

Craig, yes you summarized it pretty well. I may add a DCC controller in the process, to allow remote control of the engine. Finding spare parts is not easy but fortunately, we still have one company in the USA, casting brass parts mostly in O-scale. They do carry a lot of spare parts for these engines and many others.

Project is almost completed. I just acquired an On3 engine to push the snowplow. The 2-8-2 engine will need KADEE couplers and a complete overhaul as it does not run yet smoothly. However, the price was right and it is in excellent condition. It is now time to go back and finish the HMS Bellona. 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.
