    Adam Norenberg, is doing a nice review of the Yamato kit and puts it together. For your enjoyment: The Modelling News: Build review: Takom's 1/72nd scale Battleship Yamato no. 2 main turret Yves

    Now, I understand better the "nuts" in KPNuts...... Yves

    The diving saucer was also equipped with a small arm. It is not provided in the kit but you could add it. Yves

    That is an excellent decision, Chris. Wow, look at that hull, quite a prominent bulb in the front.... I like the three bow thrusters. They must help tremendously to steer that leviathan, in the absence of tugs. Yves

    Excellent work. It really feels like building the prototype. Yves
  6. yvesvidal
    It is interesting to see all these would-have-been-wood parts turn into metal ! At 1/64th scale, there is very little alternative ..... Yves

    Ciao Daniel, Any progress on your spectacular model? I am looking forward to seeing more. Yves
  8. yvesvidal
    You are making good progress. Yves

    Thank you James. This is indeed a very nice vessel!! Yves
  10. yvesvidal
    Well, I will be following with interest, too. I wish James would have posted a picture of the finished model or some depiction of the vessel, in his introduction. Yves

    Excellent topic and great work on the PE and soldering. Count me in.... Yves

    The drivers are literally bathing in the fuel cells, on these cars.... frightening ! Yves
  13. yvesvidal
    Excellent choice. I just wished you had kept the scale of 1/32nd, so as to provide a clear comparison with the existing POF kit available from Model Shipways. I will be following, since I am building the POF sloop version. Yves

    That display of hulls is amazing. Are you selling them? Yves
  15. yvesvidal
    Superb model Kevin and so unusual in this beautiful blue. The sails are perfect and your lady did a fantastic job on these. Dorade remains in my future project.... I still have to purchase the kit. Yves

    Tom, you did a great job on that hull.. For a first attempt at planking, you pulled it out gloriously. I am looking forward to see more progress on that unusual but so pleasant vessel. Yves
  17. yvesvidal
    Well, let us be the judges ! I trust your skills and capabilities to turn that monster into a master piece. Yves

    Beautiful work on the engine bay. I would have added a couple of wires to the battery and a little bit of dust spraying around the engine, but since it is going to end up in pieces, no need to do anything. Yves
  19. yvesvidal
    Excellent choice Tim. I see that you have already done some spectacular work on the inside. Yves
  20. yvesvidal
    Very interesting kit. I will follow your Build Log with interest. Yves
  21. yvesvidal
    Yes, you need to rest your eyes and your hands....so, the 1/200 scale seems like a good candidate for your sanity 😁 To be honest, I cannot wait to see someone build the Titanic from Trumpeter....especially someone with your skills and attention to details. Yves
  22. yvesvidal
    Superb model. So realistic.... It takes me back to my childhood.... Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    It is just superb. I love your PE skills. Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    I am glad you tried the water in the pool. It makes for a big difference and an eye catcher. Yves
  25. yvesvidal
    Absolument superbe. 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.
