    I am selling a 1990’s vintage Sergal Sovereign of the Seas kit, also throwing in the McKay Sovereign of the Seas book and two billets of nice Swiss pear and one billet of Castillo boxwood (about 18x3.5x1 inches ) in case you have the ability to mill your own wood and want to upgrade the wood provided in the kit. Also includes 12 bottles of Floquil paints in gold, blue, red, tar lumber, black and 2 bottles are some kind of tinting oil. The pigment is collected at the bottom but I stirred and shook a bottle of the gold and it looks fine to me. There was a model expo receipt in the kit when I bought it with a date of 8/28/94 and the castings are really nice and detailed compared to some examples I have seen on some build logs of the newer kits. All the wood billets are nice and flat including the keel parts and they are all there according to the plans…. I’m asking $600 and split the actual shipping costs - it’s pretty heavy so I figure around 50 or 60 dollars to ship it…. Here’s a bunch of pics….

    Hi Chris, so where does the Surprise decision put the Bristol in the order of things to come?

    Aggie look great! Awesome coppering job! That’s a big cat! ( the model and the cat) is that a Maine coon? 🙂

    Wonderful! Absolutely fine work and what a great result! You are definitely doing great justice to this project! The gun placements, railings and stern balconies and just the overall symmetry and attention to detail in that last shot are so awesome! Great work Yves!

    Been itching to start a POF model but decided to finish a couple projects that I have already started, so I’m continuing with the pear planking on my Revenge. I thought the 5mm planking provided in the kit was out of scale (too wide) so I’ve been using 4mm wide planks - takes a lot more planks but looks better to me. Golf and RC Glider flying season are still a ways off so hopefully I’ll make some good progress before then.

    Chris, any news on Bristol?
  19. ASAT
    Are you aware that Chris Watton of Vanguard Models is currently developing a 1/64 scale kit of the Bristol? Not sure if you are wanting to scratch build but his efforts always produce the finest examples of the subjects he designs in kit form. I’m anxiously awaiting this one!

    Hi Ulises! Your Soleil is looking great, I like the aged patina, very unique!
  21. ASAT
    Wow, that reminds me of the vintage (1992) Mantua SOS kit I also have waiting in the wings….looking great - I’ll move further comments and talk of build logs into your Soleil log so we don’t clutter up Kevin’s build log….
  22. ASAT
    That’s great U, are you planning on doing a build log? If you do, I will definitely follow it and maybe even start one with you, that way we could collaborate on the frustrating parts! 🤔😀

    So did you get the kit? I bought it a year or so ago, have been intimidated to start due to the level of difficulty and the mods/ excellent skills required to overcome the kit’s weaknesses. I started on the keel and jig assy. but had bad parts on the jig and after receiving them I haven’t started again. The keel and deadwood assembly fit is awesome, getting all the seams lined up and mating symmetrically is a challenge, nice material and great laser cutting so far….

    C’mon man, this ain’t Vanguard Models we’re talking about! 😀

    Jim said he would be closed till mid September for a vacation/shop inventory and business or something…. Should be open now, I ordered a few saw blades from them Wednesday and received order confirmation the same day…. Don’t know if that was computer generated- have not received a Shipped notification yet though so IDK…. But the notice on the website says they were planning on re opening mid September.

    Your rigging is looking great Kevin! I really dislike the rigging but my wife loves the look of a fully rigged ship so guess what? 🤣 Keep going!

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.
