    Yes, Australia does not exist for illiterate French post people: it is Australie en Francais and they probably could not correlate the two names... 😞 The Petite Galettes are very good and you got the improved model with chocolate chips.... Yves

    Amazing work on a beautiful kit. I admire your patience at removing all traces of burnt wood, on the frames. Yves

    I can't wait to sail her.... 🙂 Yves

    This is amazing work. I absolutely love it and hope you will take some time to describe some of your techniques to create such beautiful and realistic renderings. The boat shop is absolutely superb.... Yves

    The Modelling News: Das Dock for your Das Boot from DAS WERK - Their New 72nd Scale Drydock in the Werks... This new kit from Das Werk: This is a kit that comes in a total of 366 parts from the laser-cut wooden board supplied by Malaan Lasercut. The dock is designed to suit the examples in most European countries from time zones of the 1890s and 1960s. Of course, it can be used not only for not only Das Werk's 1/72nd scale SM U9 but also for other companies' 1/72 scale ships and submarines. - You can choose whether or not there is a factory wall adjacent to the dock. - The stone wall and factory wall are reproduced with precisely printed texture prints. - To further enhance the look and feel of the diorama, there are accessories of the dock included in the box -The keel blocks, gangways, scaffolding, wall signage and other details are all included in this kit. This kit is scheduled to be released in May 2021

    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
  12. 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
  14. yvesvidal
    You are making good progress. Yves
  15. yvesvidal
    Thank you James. This is indeed a very nice vessel!! Yves
  16. 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
  19. 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
  20. yvesvidal
    That display of hulls is amazing. Are you selling them? Yves
  21. 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
  22. yvesvidal
    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
  23. yvesvidal
    Well, let us be the judges ! I trust your skills and capabilities to turn that monster into a master piece. Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    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
  25. yvesvidal
    Excellent choice Tim. I see that you have already done some spectacular work on the inside. 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. 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.
