Ekis, Do you have any future plans to build a stand alone building such as the seigneurial dwelling say in a larger scale, like maybe 1/50? That would be something grand to see. Or have you got the “building of buildings” bug out of your system and now is the time for something completely different? I’m sure we all would follow whatever comes next. Kurt

Ekis, Truly wonderful. You never answered one of my questions. Is there an area of the village or a particular structure that you are most pleased with or that you saved from disaster? The entire project must have been a rewarding one for you. It was certainly an enjoyable one for us despite those guys hanging from the rafters. Kurt

Ekis, It is amazing how much your landscaping improves what was already such a wonderful project. You definitely know what you’re doing. Is there one particular area you are most happy with the way it turned out so far? I am a little annoyed that I was patiently waiting for the weekend update and you sneak one in during the week! Thats not nice. Kurt

I’m gonna be 70 the end of next month ( really not sureI how that happened) I do know its not my fault. Any way at this point I guess there's no point worrying about how that happened, it’s done. I guess it makes things easier. I never have to worry about what do when I grow up. it’s just not gonna happen. I guess I have PeterPan syndrome? Best part, it’s not my problem!! Kurt I really am just being silly. No intent in being obnoxious.

Ekis, Where the streets that formally laid out the majority of the time during that period? I always was under the impression things were more haphazard with regard to smaller and less important structures. I’m just asking. Also, will the sections of the village be permanently joined together, or left unconnected for portability? You may have already mentioned this when I was distracted by the guys hanging from the rafters dropping things on us. They’re kinda childish. Kurt

Ekis, I know you are most likely thinking the opposite, but I’m fairly confident in saying that most of us will be sorry when this project is complete ( to your standards ). I for one would follow it until the shopping mall has been completed ( or close to that ). This has been a great journey. Go slow! Kurt

Ekis, I really didn’t think this project could get any better. It is so fantastic! But, I have to say, you keep making it better and better. It is really a work of art. You can’t just hide it in your attic when it’s done. If I ever win the lottery, the first thing I’ll do is be at your doorstep to see the village in the flesh. Disneyland can just wait! Kurt

Ekis, I’m guessing that like me you won’t be overly sad to bid 2020 adeu. Of course there were good things that occurred, but they were lost sight of with all the chaos around them. That being said, you certainly accomplished a lot this past year! My favorite building so far is windmill. I had forgotten to mention at the time but the attached houses have a fairly modern look to them. They wouldn't get a second look as being out of place or time in any village today. I am patiently waiting for that pissoir to be completed, I really can’t wait too much longer. Gotta go NOW! Kurt
-
Ha, ha . Haven’t any of you figured Ekis out yet? He’s done post doctoral work in photo manipulation. Most of those photos are of the real reconstuction site with that Euro superimposed on them. He’s a sly fox for sure. Have you ever noticed that the Euro is always the same side up and oriented in the same direction? Ekis, such a bad, bad boy and SO close to Christmas too! Kurt
-
Still can’t muster enough men to drag that Euro out of the village. Try some oxen. Do the town people revere it or fear it as a sign from heaven or supernatural sources. On a serious side things, are really progressing very well. The village seems like a fairly affluent one, what is its main source revenue? Are there a number of guilds there? I’m assuming that Euro belongs solely to the Seigneur. Kurt
-
There’s no problem, the pilori is next to the pond. The problem is where is the pissoir near the pub? However the pond would eliminate the need to queue up. But I guess the pilori would have a queue. Do you know Ekis has to give the final approval on everything concerning the Notre-Dame reconstruction. Everything must be perfect! So they’re choice was obvious! Kurt

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.
