    Very nice work. I always liked these old Dutch ships. there is a fine galleon in the background in one of the pictures. What ship is that, is it scratch built? david

    you can look around the Artesania Latina and Occre websites, where the manuals can be donwloaded. Occre has a Bounty with instructions, including rigging plan. But any 3 masted ship from the same period will do. The Latina Hermione has a detailed rigging plan at here

    while I don't have a source for the requested page, you can use the rigging plan for any 3 masted ship from the same period. from the AL https://artesanialatina.net/en/p/20-instructions archive page there are plans for Endeavour, Hermione, Surprise models, and newer ones can be downloaded from the page of their current catalog. in addition, the Occre Bounty manual is similar to the above, available here https://occre.com/en/pages/instrucciones Note, the kit rigging plans not always accurate, a good rigging book is always better. Petersson's Rigging Period Ship Models is a good choice for the Bounty, and a digital copy is $13 on Amazon.

    I came accross a review of a recently published Lego set of the Endurance. The article is written by a nautical expert, well researched, and contains a number of interesting facts about the ship and the journey. A recommended read for anyone interested in Shackleton's voyage and the Endurance itself. https://brickset.com/article/115678/review-10335-the-endurance

    There are specific paint removers by Tamiya and Revell, both works well. Most hobby shops sell them. Good luck for your build.

    this is very impressive attention to detail, congratulations ! I think to attach the toggle to the sheet line, the long tail should be pulled through the loop for a more secure connection though.

    They annonced a French ship to be released earlier this year. Probably this is going to be the Soleil Royal, previously sold as partwork.

    Hello Peter, good luck for your search for the manual. It may sound silly at first... but if you have the plans and still feel the need to a pictorical manual, look thorugh a manual of a different ship from the website of Artesania Latina or Occre. These type of kits have very similar design, and you may get answers to building sequence, planking tips etc, even it's a different ship. Hope you find what you are looking for, though.

    Amati sells such blades like this one, but have a look around as there are different types of them. But this plastic tool is not designed to cut such thick strip as the 4x4. For that one you will need a saw. The use of this is to make repeated cuts by the same length or same angle, like cutting deck planks from thin strip (after adding a stop to the tray). If you can't cut the strip by a handheld knife, neither this tool will do.
  28. DavidG
    you may give it a good sanding, fill the gaps and add a further, thin 3rd layer of planking as an option.

    if you look for kits, the new Artesania Latina Victory section is probably the best one on the market now.

    you may have a look on the Artesania Latina Hermione kit for a second build here https://artesanialatina.net/en/ships-advanced/484-wooden-model-ship-kit-hermione-la-fayette-frigate-8421426325171.html?mot_tcid=e87a7115-6a0e-4f2d-91d3-dbc3fbc2526a. It's a newer design than the Occre one, and definitely fulfils the need for detailed instructions. Still uses plywood parts a lot, but for the price it seems to be a decent offering.

    It wasn't a bad idea but.. Before painting, one-two layers of gloss varnish would prevent the paint soaking into the surrounding wood. Then you can brush paint the letters, wiping off the excess in the process, finally finishing off with flat varnish.

    I have one of these. It's made of plastic and not self-centering, the jaws must be adjusted one by one by plastic screws. I didn't find much use of it.

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.
