    Fantastic work on the torpedo tubes. Your model is coming along nicely and is very impressive. Yves

    This is going to be another masterpiece. Yves

    SardonicMeow, You should offer a special add-on kit to the Model Shipways kit, with all the parts printed in 3D. The original kit would benefit greatly, from these very nice improvements that you are adding to your model. Yves

    A touch of deconstruction is always a nice thing, for satisfaction! Yves

    Sometimes, "perfection" is the ennemy of "great". From a foot away, your model looks terrific. Yves

    I am pulling a chair to admire your work. This is going to be very exciting. Yves

    The weathering of the wood and decks, is superb. Yves

    Nice rendering with your wood paste. The illusion is impeccable. Yves

    Thank you Blue Ensign. I am an ardent supporter and admirer of your fishing vessels build logs and really enjoy what you are doing. It may be a while before I resume the Emma Build, but we will get there. Yves

    Nice touch with the port holes and rivets. I think they add a lot of realism to the model. Yves

    I am no expert, but it does look really nice to me. Yves

    Very interesting kit and theme. I will be following closely. Yves

    You are not wasting any time. Your place is a real shipyard. You must be impatient to start the Trumpeter behemoth..... ;-) Yves

    Oh, I knew that a Liner enthusiast like you, would come to that point one day. I cannot wait to read your Build Log of the Trumpeter Titanic. Yves

    I am waiting for a professional photographer friend to come over and do some nice quality pictures, but he is struggling with the software of his Sony cameras or too scared to come to my place.... Go figure. In the meantime, here are a few low quality pictures I took of the finished model. I will try to add more pictures taken at night, as it is more dramatic. Yves

    Such a beautiful display! Two very unusual models. Yves

    I am trying to find a good place for all the spare parts I have. If anybody is interested,please drop me a Personal Message or take a look at this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trumpeter-kit-U-552-1-48-Extra-and-Spare-parts-Interior/264894407130?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I'd rather send these rare parts to someone who will do good use of them. Thanks Yves

    Great work with the computer screens. Yves

    Just a couple of pictures to situate where we are at this stage, of what is called End of Phase 1. The hull has been entirely framed and the covering board have been installed. The texture of the basswood is really unctuous and I hope I will not make a disaster when planking it: The scale of 1/32 makes for a nice and beefy model. Here, you can see the famous well used to keep the fish fresh and alive, until the boat can be returned to the harbor. The hull has been "faired" but I will get back to it, before laying the first planks. I have never planked a hull, so this will be a new experience for me. In parallel to the nice set of instructions and plans provided by Model Shipways, I also purchased that little booklet that tells about the restoration of the Smack Emma Berry in Mystic Seaport. That book is illustrated of hand drawn sketch which are very well done. I may publish a couple, as we go along. Yves

    Beautiful boat. Yves

    Miki, That was my first impression.... but then I saw a picture where the little cross was away from the pole.... and that created the confusion. I will fix that mistake. I am trying to find the picture that misled me.... Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    Well, I followed the Chuck Passaro's recipe (thank you Amateur) and came out with something which is more realistic than the plain fabric flag. Not perfect, but a lot more palatable: Slightly worn out by the harsh Atlantic weather.... Yves

    I realized that this thread has been idle for the past seven years..... 😴 Now that the Type VIIc submarine is almost completed, it may be time to resurrect this build log and do a smooth transition away from polystyrene and resin to the good old Basswood wood construction. Besides, there are not too many Emma C. Berry on this forum and this lovely fishing boat deserves more fame. 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.
