    Yes at 1/700 scale space for maneuvering is a premium. We have sloved it, by moveing everything 50-70 cm away from the edge if we get to close. It works, but breaks the immersion a bit.

    Another one done. A brigs at this scale is tiny. HMS Curieux was a former French brig captured by the Royal Navy in a daring cutting-out raid at Fort Royal, Martinique in 1804. Renamed HMS Curieux, she served as a fast and agile brig in the Caribbean. One of her most notable moments came in February 1805, when under Lieutenant George Bettesworth, she fought a fierce single-ship action against the larger French brig Dame Ernouf. After a brutal 40-minute battle, Curieux forced her opponent to surrender, despite suffering heavy casualties. She continued her successful career capturing enemy vessels until she was wrecked off Guadeloupe in 1809. I have used a 3d printed hull and fighting tops from Turner Miniatures, masts were scratch-built built from brass rods. Sails are from warlord games, but cut to fit the smaller than standard warlord sized masts.

    Thank you so much for your kind message, and for taking the time to check out Linus' Napoleonic Shipyard on YouTube! I'm really glad you liked the Chesapeake—yes, it is indeed a Turner Miniatures hull. His designs have been a huge help in making small-scale Age of Sail modeling more accessible, especially with 3D printing giving us so many new options. Great to hear you enjoyed the Beat to Quarters review! That’s such a shame about your copy—and Ship-of-the-Line too! Sounds like your friend made off with some real classics. Definitely a frustrating bit of history, but I’ve heard similar stories from others… seems to be a common tale among longtime wargamers. Thanks as well for the recommendations. I’ve heard about War by Sail and Captaincy but haven’t tried them yet. Captaincy in particular sounds fascinating, especially for smaller scenarios where sailing and positioning really matter. It’s nice to see rules that dive deep into the sailing side of things instead of just focusing on gunnery. Might be worth tackling that learning curve! If you end up trying them out solo, I’d be very interested to hear your impressions. Always looking for new systems to explore for future videos.

    What a gem! You did great and I really like when a ship is displayed like this in action. Your diorama base must be quite large? The HMS Sphinx is a large model. Very inspiring, thank you. Now I really look forward to getting started this summer.

    So usually I put my buildlogs on my youtube channel. This is for the tiny 1/700 scale ships so far. Would it be ok to post some of those here? If so were? This is my channel link again if anyone would like a look. https://youtube.com/@linusnapoleonicshipyard?si=z1SsASNnxS_R1v3q I also dona bit of history, tutorials and battle reports on there. Also some good news. I will be starting my first wooden ship model in June. So looking forward to this. It will be one of the vanguard models brigs. Haven't decided on wich one so far. Picture is my latest build, the Chesapeake in 1/700 scale.

    Lovely! A glass of wine with you! A work of art!

  23. Linus Spjutsberg
    See other post. But I make little brackets in brass sheet and drill holes for the yardarms. Super stable.
  24. Linus Spjutsberg
    I use thin brass sheet to cut supports for the yardarms. That way they are very stable. Check out my video on the shannon or constitution forn ideas.
  25. Linus Spjutsberg
    Very nice! Yes for smaller ships I use Turner minitures as his are straight 1:700 scale. Also tend to build my own masts.

    Thank you! To all for the welcome!
  28. Linus Spjutsberg started following Linus Napoleonic shipyard and Question about the best and most detailed napoleonic era frigate kit?
  29. Linus Spjutsberg
    What ship kit can you recommend with a lot of detail and accuracy in a not to large scale (do not have a lot of space) of a napoleonic era frigate? Preferably British.

    Thank you! Really hope I can get going on something bigger at some point. Right now the biggest I have I a diorama in 1/600 scale I have started working on. Its of a British fast galleon attacking a transport nao. While a Spanish galleon is trying to defend it.
  34. Linus Spjutsberg
    The ratlines are photoetch from Atlantic models. Would really recommend them at this scale. For your second question? Not sure I full understand it. But you mean its not all the way in to the mizzen. Looking at historical illustration I see what I think you mean. Never really noticed and due to inexperience I have gotten them all wrong...... Now look what you did I will have to go back and correct them all! And believe me I will eventually! Thank you for pointing this out! Future ships will be modelled correctly.

    Hi everyone! My name is Linus Spjutsberg, and I run the YouTube channel Linus Napoleonic Shipyard. I’m passionate about model shipbuilding in 1/700 scale using resin hulls and brass wire for masts. I have a particular focus on Napoleonic-era vessels. On my channel, I share my journey, tips, and techniques for building models, historical facts, but also battle reports from our 1/700 scale Napoleonic era sea battles, using our house rules based of the rules for "black seas" by warlord games. I love diving into the details of these incredible ships and connecting with others who share the same passion. My dream is that at some point transfer my hobby to larger wooden model ships from the same era, but at this time that's not an option financially or with time in mind. For now I will keep doing my 1/700 scale minis which I also have gents getting from me on commissions, and watch others build the larger ships. First large one I would like to build in the future would be maybe HMS Indefatigable or maybe HMS Shannon. This is my youtube channel: Linus Napoleonic Shipyard please have a look if you like. I also post here some of my latest works all in 1/700 scale so you all can see what I do. I hope and look forward to getting a lot of advice and interaction with you all. Until then, a glass of wine with you sirs!

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.
