    Very nice hooks. a less convincing but faster method is to modify kit eyebolts into hooks- i do it all the time.

    what to say.. 2200 USD
  14. DavidG
    you made great progress, good luck for your build! I built the Occre Diana, which seems to be the same kit under a different name. It was quite long ago, but I have a build log here (sort of..). best, David

    I would consider to simply plank it with 1st planking strips instead of the gunport pattern. You will get the same result. It's a bit more work, as you have to trace the openings and cut them out, maybe adjust the upper edges, but all goes behind second planking anyway.

    just came accross this, a vise for small workpieces of any shape. seems to be a wonderful product of machining. link picture is from the Kickstarter page.
  27. DavidG
    it seems the photoetched ones ar avaliable on the Caldercraft strore here, should you give them a try.
  28. DavidG
    Caldercraft makes PE eyebolts, I used them and they are really small. Link

    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
  30. DavidG
    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
  31. DavidG
    Hi Tyguy, do you have any updates on this build? It seems to be an interesting kit. best, David
  32. DavidG
    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.

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.
