    The views down on the wrap-around balcony are very informative. Thank you for this latest installment, HH.

    Coming along very nicely, Oliver!

    The lower surfaces of the transom need to be parallel to the bottom of the boat. They have to join in a smooth seam. You angle off each side of the transom as in the lower photo.

    Wilkommen,Thomas! Welcome aboard.

    Lovely work, Chuck. I'm waiting to see how you deal with all the headwork....

    A novel way of launching a ship: upside down. Oh. Picture is inverted. Just regular launch ways after all! Might you consider showing your model on the ways to present your model, Gary?
  7. druxey
    Certainly the results merited the time - and language! Well done, Chris.
  8. druxey
    Perhaps you are referring to the chesstree? It looks like a fender, but has a sheave in it for the main tack.

    Wirth all due respect, Kevin, after your previous accident, isn't it a bit risky carrying your model outside to photograph it? Also, that coffee mug on your workbench makes me nervous for you!

    Painted in place, that friezework on the curved bulkhead is exceptional. Frohe Ostern, indeed, Siggi!
  11. druxey
    Those furled sails are great!
  12. druxey
    Nice work on the rails, Toni.

    Could be worse; autocorrect might have made it 'gold rash', 'good rush' or even (shudder) 'geld crush'. In any case, welcome aboard, KJ.

    Steven, I totally understand the difficulty of a euphroe at that scale; it would probably disintegrate. Time to have another chat with your 17-year-old self about a more suitable choice of scale!
  15. druxey
    Looks pretty good in your photos, Bob.
  16. druxey
    Looking very shipshape now! That looks really, really nice, Rob.
  17. druxey
    And don't forget the Valkenisse in the MFA collection!

    A couple of fine models are also in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, now I come to think of it.

    Crowsfeet at this size without a euphroe are very awkward as you can't tension the whole system at the same time as one would on the real thing.

    Lovely! Nice to see you back at her again and for the new photos, Gary.
  21. druxey
    Welcome to this forum, Sam. (Your name is not unknown to some of us here!) There are other notable models in other collections as well, including the private Kriegstein collection in the U. S. and the public Art Gallery of Ontario Thomson ship model collection.

    En anglais, SVP, Bernard! Merci. Translation; "I have discovered this magnificent subject. Let me show you my interpretation of Soleil Royal's figure based on Berain's drawings made in resin at various scales."
  23. druxey
    I hope you had a severe talk with your 17 year-old self never to do that again! Coming along nicely, Steven.
  24. druxey
    Looks terrific, Ian. Lots of parts with heavy scantlings for such a relatively small vessel!
  25. druxey
    Whatever works for you. And, by appearances, it certainly does!

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.
