    You're doing one incredible model, Steve. The details just blow me away.

    I'd say Vanguard or Syren. Both are very innovative is both kit design and documentation. Both have their manuals online. Syren's are here and Vanguard's are on their site. Both have development logs here on MSW.

    Between Chris and Chuck, they're both leaving the rest in the dust. Instead of just following the "this is the way it's always been done", they're innovating.

    Pure genius, Daniel.

    Good to see you back and making some progress. I hope things are better on the home front.

    That photo is, IMHO, fantastic. Looks to be the real thing sitting on the apron just after the rain has stopped.

    I'm pulling up a chair also. Love your subjects and builds, Valerly.

    Mark, Look up Dockyard Model Company chisels. They have or had excellent tools. I have four of their sets and they are wonderful. Last time I checked their products were available at a couple of places.

    Your work on this leaves me speechless. Just magnificent.

    It's been moved to the right area. No worries.

    I would think that the shrouds would prevent mast movement under sail. But, rope does stretch so maybe this is somewhat of a fail safe kind of thing.

    I think so but there are those who will ignore it and basically destroy the site as far as research and preservation is concerned. Even naval war graves (sunk during battle) have been destroyed.

    Welcome to MSW, Al. That looks to be a excellent project of a rare model. Feel free to open a Restoration log in the Scratch Area. By doing that, you might get more info and also help as needed and we get to watch.

    Welcome to MSW, Ralph. Beautiful work on the Bellona.

    Marvelous work, Gary. It's just amazing how much detail you pack into a such a small display.

    "Heavy is the head that wears the crown". What's not said is that "for it will roll away quickly".

    Welcome to MSW, Jeff.

    If you don't like the idea of wrapping the small parts and then unwrapping and hoping all goes well, Get a small plastic container like some food products come in. Then pour in some alcohol and drop in the parts. Let it sit, All the parts should drop off the wood after a few hours or less.

    Welcome to MSW, Jim. Have you tried contacting company who sold the kit? Or Mantua about the instructions? Here's their website. https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/ There's a contact addy at the bottom of the first page.

    There is /was a Billing Wasa/Vasa build using the latest info at the time a few years ago. He painted it as the museum says it was painted in all it's glory. If I remember right.. it's this log.

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.
