    Thank you Clare. It is a small thing, about 30 cm long, but a lot of work was involved if you wanted, as I strived to, riproduce all the tiny details of the original boat as shown on the drawings.

    Ancre monographs are first class and some of them are also published in English, as the one used for the model.

    Happy modelling.

    Thank you, Jack. The wood is pear wood with some boxwood used for the tiny mouldings on the storage bins. Yes, I made all the metal parts myself turning them out of brass on a Proxxon lathe. Some milling and silver soldering was also required. The ropes (both right and lefthand laid) were laid on a ropewalk I made few years back following Frolich design. I used polyester for the cable restraiing the cannon and cotton for the other ropes..In the  end I must say I am pretty satisfied with the outcome.

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.
