    I finished my ship including the gilded reliefs on this ship. This project of mine is not big, but it took several months to complete. Here is the link to review the kit made by me:

    After 1 week of assembly and testing, the product finally took shape. All details are ok but still need to tweak a bit to make it smoother. The upcoming work of sailing and drawing embossed motifs also consumes a lot of time to look up the patterns of the Tay Son dynasty. I had to cut a kit to put the led positions This is the Asian anchor salvaged from the Red River in Vietnam This is the ancient battle drum and gong of the Tay Son dynasty kept at Quang Trung museum, Binh Dinh province, Vietnam Cannons of the Tay Son Dynasty at Quang Trung Museum, Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam

    Definitely I will make a complete kit as I did a kit like this link. I use a laser co2 and a 3D printer to create the parts.
  18. DominichSteven
    Yes this is a kit i designed by myself. Looks like my typed it wrong, it must be paper craft. Thanks you for the reminder.

    Hello friends, I am continuing another project about a Vietnamese warship. Dinh Quoc is the name of the largest warship ever serving the Tay Son Navy, and the Nguyen Dynasty called it "Dai Hieu". There is no document that accurately describes this type of ship (most of the documents about the Tay Son Dynasty were destroyed by the Nguyen Dynasty). But according to the surviving documents, it can be affirmed that Dinh Quoc was not inferior in size to the ships of the line belonging to the naval forces in Europe at that time. In a letter to his friend Laurent Barizy dated March 2, 1801, Jean-Baptiste Chaigneau, a French officer serving in Nguyen Anh's army boasted that his troops had destroyed the Western fleet. Son, including one equipped with 50-60 heavy cannons. (wiki) I shortened the design to about 30 cannons and the scale 1:100, I relied on the remaining historical documents to create this boat. This is a project that takes a long time to restore the design that is almost gone, but still retains the most original shape and design of the 18th century Vietnamese warship.

    Thank Keith.

    Hello everyone, after completing the HMS Enterprize I realized that I am quite interested in building 3D models. So I started this project with little knowledge of 3D programs and completely learned them on youtube. I built this project to be able to make a model builder kit so after done the model if anyone wants to buy this model kit please contact me. And of course there are full building instructions with pictures as well as structural designs. I build this ship will change the texture and add some parts so it will be very different from the ships sold in the market. I first built this ship model on 3D program and now there are many programs that can be designed like 3Dsmax or Sketchup... Then use a laser cutter to create the main skeleton and deck surface. the scale looks pretty big compared to the Enterprize I adjusted the transverse skeleton on the side of the ship to the oblique skeleton to increase the ability to fix the main skeleton and it seem good. then came the decking, I used sapele wood because they have a nice color I use 0.4mm copper wire to make the nail the hull part I use wood walnut and I have to admit it's really nice And of course, the lights can't be missing That's all I've been able to do for the past 2 weeks. Tobe continue...

    The statues are all make with polymer clay and covered with gold leaf

    I finished the ship and didn't plan to make more sails for it because I don't have a sewing machine yet. May I ask how much do you rate this ship of mine?

    Thank Mr Maaaslo. As you say, 10 years ago I built this ship and realized the 1/96 scale was too small so I gave up. Later I thought that it was not necessary to do the correct manufacturer's kit scale, so I enlarged the rest of the kit to the A2 paper scale and felt quite satisfied with the details. Ms. Doris is an artist, I have learned a lot of techniques from her posts in this forum and many other forums. She inspired me in amazing sculpting techniques. That's why I followed suit, this is the first time I sculpted statues so there are many more things to practice. I agree with you about this, it seems like it's been a long time since I've been making sailboat models so the timing of completion is messed up.

    Please continue to enjoy some of the latest pictures I have made in the past time. I am still learning and testing and I hope someday my model will be as good as the experts on this forum. I used the motor of a broken mini drill with a motor alternating switch and motor speed regulator circuit to build this rope winding machine. On the surface it is uncertain, but it is quite adequate for wrapping small threads. It took quite some time to tie the cannons, so now I can only tie up 4 cannons. Probably the end of this month to complete. ...

    Hello Quyen, I didn't expect you to be on this forum. It was a big surprise for me because the number member of Vietnamese joining this forum is small and you was find my post in this large forum.

    Hello friends Currently in Vietnam is on the Lunar New Year holiday so I have time to spend with my ship, here's what I have done in having done so far, and I hope to finish all the cannons this vacation. You are probably familiar with the movie "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" right, I am extremely impressed with the friendship and teamwork of the captain and the doctor so I made a violin, a Contrebasse and 4 swords of captain. the hatch cover was a tough experience for me as it took me 10 hours to be able to punch holes in it. However I am not satisfied with them yet, so I cut the decal into strands and then stick it on. .

    Thank you Rreg, I've tried some gold alchemy paints however all of them fade with time. This time I try with gold leaf to see it is affected by time or not.

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.
