    Hi all sorry for the long delay but life has got in the way. I've been working on the yards and sails. These have been made from a old shirt that has been cut and distressed by rubbing them with rough sandpaper and then painted with different greens and browns. Next job more sails Thanks for looking Martyn

    Having built this ship the bulkheads are to narrow. I built mine up with thin stripes on the edge and then faired the bulkheads Hope this helps Martyn

    Sorry for the late response as I've had one heck of a year as I lost my mum last year and we have moved back to Kent to be near No1 son . I have attached some pictures for you to look at to show what I have been up to. Thanks again for the comments and likes . Martyn

    Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but life has certainly got in the way. But anyway back to the build. The guns have been fitted on the gundeck and the sides. I have made some lanterns and some weird sticky up things on the stern and fitted some wooden teeth things on the beakhead. Next job making the main mast . Stay safe all. Martyn

    Hi ,yes I can confirm that was the Warrior under the tarps as she was going through a refit and restoration at the time. They have added a cafeteria on the gun deck. I visited Warrior Victory and the Mary Rose in 2019 Martyn

    Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but life and stuff has got in the way. I have been slowly working away on the FD . I have finished the hull and have now put some details on the stern galleries and the sides. As I'm no good at carving I have used modelling clay to make the scary faces and strange fishy things and to make her look old and battered I have put some barnacles and clamy things on the sides. I need to find away of putting some smaller barnacles on the lower hull. Thanks for looking. Martyn

    There's certainly a lot of airfields around East anglia, I have three in a eight mile radius from me . Great Ashfield, Rougham and Rattlesden . Rattlesden is now a glider club, Rougham is surrounded by a large industrial estate but they still fly light aircraft from there and Great Ashfield is now a private airfield with a grass landing strip. There's still a few old buildings on the site but mostly falling down and neglected which is a shame. Martyn

    Wow thank you for the brilliant photos of your grandad . It's amazing that he was just up the road from where I live and 35 missions. I take my hat of to legends like your grandad. The model is now at the Rougham Tower Museum near Bury St Edmunds, well worth a visit if you're in the area. Thanks again Martyn

    Hi all . I have been a bit busy on the FD . The planking has been finished and sanded down. I was going to second plank the hull but I like the look of it as she is meant to look all beaten up. Next job planking the decks and capping the bulwarks. All the wood has been left over from all the other builds I have done so this has cost me next to nothing so far and quite pleased with the outcome. I'm not very good at carving so I plan to use modelling clay for the carvings so just wondering what the best one to use . Thanks for following Martyn

    Hi if you search Model Space forum it's the Deag forum site and all the information is there. Hope this helps Martyn

    Hi amazone the plans are from the Corel Vasa which I built several years ago but I have changed a pop decks to look like the Flying Dutchman. I looked at the ship from the film and thought that looks like the Vasa so it was the perfect candidate. Thanks for following Martyn

    Hi all I have now completed cutting out all the bulkheads and kell and have dry fitted to see how they fit and all seems fine. Next job cutting out the decks from some 2mm ply . Thanks for following. Martyn
  18. BLACK VIKING
    Hi all . I have cut out a few more bulkheads and the false keel . I must admit they take a lot longer than I thought but I'm not going anywhere so they will take as long as they take. As you can see from the pictures I have cut them way side the line so I can sand them down to the right level. Hopefully it's going to be a nice day tomorrow so I can cut some more. Cheers for following Martyn

    Hi all this is my build of the ghost ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean the Flying Dutchman a bit of a fantasy build but looking forward to going a bit freestyle. I have just started cutting out the bulkheads with my new coping saw so will post some pics tomorrow. More to come Martyn
  20. BLACK VIKING

    Hi all and thanks for the comments and likes A bit more done the wings and tail fins have been fitted and the fuselage glue together. I have dry brushed the whole aircraft to give it a worn look. I have found out that she was hit by flack and number 2 engine caught fire but was put out quite quickly. It was replaced and a new cowl fitted but wasn't painted for a few weeks so I have shown this. Just a little bit more to do then she will be complete. Thanks for following Martyn

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.
