    Lately I've put some effort in creating a showcase for the Friesland (acrylic). The glue came out near the edges, I guess I should have used more liquid glue, even though this was the supplier's preferred glue (acrifix 192). Removing the glue and polishing should be possible, but where I tried it, you can still see it. Anyway, I added ledlights and this is the result:

    And also worked on the hatches, but first had to make some small rings.

    This weekend I managed todo some more. I decided not to use the Mamoli lifeboat, but I already ordered a life boat from Kolderstok a few years ago for this purpose.

    While waiting for my ordered rope, I have some small pieces of rope that I can use for the following.

    Finally it fits. Mostly with bending. I tried the dremel, but that didn't give the right result and I didn't want to destroy too much.
  28. Alex K.
    But while placing it, I ran into a problem... And scraping some wood off the top of the rudder didn't have the desired effect. I may have to put the dremel into the lower part of of the decorations on the back of the ship. I'll take some time to think this over..

    And I decided to do some woodwork, the rudder. Laminating with walnut strips makes it look just a bit nicer.

    this is the current status.

    On the 30th of Sept, there will be a meeting of model ship builders, organized by a Dutch model ship building forums, in the National Maritime Museum (Scheepvaartmuseum) in Amsterdam. https://www.hetscheepvaartmuseum.com I am very proud to be showing this model there together with many other hobby ship builders on this unique location.

    This is the current status. And I did some other work by making some flags

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.
