    Today I have been treating my Santa Maria with oil. The outcome is really nice. The wooden elements have darkened, giving SM a new look.

    Thanks Friends for your nice comments. They give me a positive kick to do the next steps Vivian, I'll try to post some more new photos soon, however, there is an obstacle - football matches on TV... What about the atmosphere in Brazil? MarisStella - I know this technique but for one sail it turns out to be pretty costly Mhegazi - thamks for your comments. I like when someone likes what I do Popeye - It's nice to read kind words (as always). The sails took me sooooo many hours... But they are far better than the attached ones Regards, Paweł

    I like your progress. Keep it up. Can't wait to see more pics

    These sails look amazing. I realy like the embroidery. Was it by hand or machine?

    Hi MarisStella, The sails that were attached to the kit were awful. I have replaced them with my material ( a sort of canvas). The vertical stripes have been done by me. If you don't mind - rewind some pages and there are pictures of sewing them. Regards, Paweł

    After a long break, I'd like to show you what I have done recently. Finally the sail has been attached to the yard. The yard is on its position I'm going to leave the sails fully visible - it makes her look gracefully (my opinion). Any comments - go ahead Paweł

    Wonderful effect

    Pretty cool. Very nice carvings. And the replacement of this metal cast is far better than this "thing" attached to your model.

    Hi, There's a manufacturer in Poland. He has released 3 or 4 models so far. One day I do fancy building his kit. I think that the models are neatly done and are accurately prepared (based on historical drawings, sketches and other facts). Take a look http://www.bojer.pl/modele_statkow_zestawy. Regards, Paweł

    I must add my comment as it was one of the first... Dominic, youare RIGHT - the camera doesn't help. When I'm pleased with my result, I take a photo and when I see the photo, I'd like to eat it... (it reveals all the imperfectnesses - a tough word). Cheer upmate, keep going
  13. jastrząb
    If so, go ahead

    Hi Dominic, Nice progress has been made so far. Neat and clean ship. Try to read the book made by Friends from this site : Hull planking for beginners http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf. I hope it'll be helpful. The way you plank your ship is nice but the layout of the planks differs in reality. Check it out Nobody's perfect therefore next time try to look round. There's another option, you may use a very thin 3rd layer of planks if you wish I'm not crititising - just trying to give you some help Dominic, try to ask others - more experienced users of this site. Can't wait to see more pics of your building log. Regards, Paweł

    Thanks for showing this useful tool to do the ratlines You've reached a nice outcome of your work. Nicely done. Cheers, Paweł

    Good way to blacken the cannons The result is really nice.
  17. jastrząb
    Good idea. Place some pics of your build scratch then. Good luck with your game as well
  18. jastrząb
    Wonderful carriages. Are you planning to paint the cannons black?
  19. jastrząb
    What's the diameter of your treenails? The deck looks good.
  20. jastrząb
    Nice bulding. You are really fast.
  21. jastrząb
    Analising the pics the location is visible (I have compared to my AoS). The capstan should be located there, hovever, like mentioned before - Santa Maria is like a ghost ship. We can only compare her to the ships of those times...
  22. jastrząb
    Bug, thanks for your comments
  23. jastrząb
    I'd like to see more pics of your wonderful progress
  24. jastrząb
    Sometimes I have to cheat because the scale is not appropriate to do all the detalis like in reality. If it helps anyone to do these parts, go ahead. I also took it from someone else's building log ( I forgot the name) and modified it a bit...
  25. jastrząb
    It is very good. This scale is difficult to do all the details we want to...

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.
