    Well done, I am scratch building 1/24th scale "Californian" because I couldn't find a "kit" as beautiful as yours, what/where/who offers it?

    Hi Pond Pirate,

    The hull is really great....fiberglass from SC&H ship models.  Unfortunately, they quit the business and have already sold remaining kits, hulls and parts.

    I know of no one that supplies a similar hull.

    I also wish hulls were available...I am confident about building, rigging, etc, but not about my ability (or desire) to take on a hull.

    Best,

    Dan

    Nils,

    Thank you.

    The model is about 1.6m long on deck, and about 2.1m long with bowsprit.

    The lead keel is 18kg, and is removeable.  Overall sailing weight (lead keel + model) is 35.4kg.

    The yards are rotated by R/C.  The foresails, foremast yards, mainmast yards and spanker boom are on 4 separate servos.  The rudder is also R/C controlled.

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.
