    Everyone thanks for the thumbs up. the chapter sloops. I finished the last one of this section and added some more details , still need to make 2 more, but I have to wait a little bit more on them, unfortunately they send me the wrong hulls, they where 13.5cm instead of the ordered 10 cm. so I will continue on the rest of the structure that still need to be constructed, like the compass platform and the fire control and mast. below some pictures of the sloops

    First Thank you all for your kind words and thumbs up. And we will continue a bit further with the sloops, below some pictures that I think more or less clearly show my steps , Three more sloops I have to make. Out of a total of 11 Of which 2 I ordered extra in Germany because they were not included in the kit I bought at the time ,( by the way the sloops are made out of resin, it takes some time and patience to get them as I would like to) The 2 that I extra ordered are currently on their way. So as said a number of pictures below, that will explai

    Congratulations Nicely done, looks beautiful!!
  25. boris279
    Very nice done, build her by my self in a 1/100 scale, but this is also very amazing, I like your details even that they are very tiny !!
  26. boris279
    Thank you all for the praise and the tumbs up I also started making the large oarboats. They are not 100% ready yet, but I will make further details when the rest of the rowing boats are placed. under some pictures of the progress of the construction
  27. boris279
    Nice work, looks beautiful so far !!
  28. boris279
    Everyone thanks for the thumbs up! today not much words let pictures explain.!

    Everyone thanks for the thumbs up In the meantime I made the ammunition cranes and hatches for the 8.8 cm artillery. Since I don't really have clear pictures and information about the situation, I came to the following. I think this is pretty close to reality. Below some photos.

    Thanks everybody for the thumbs up !! started with the construction of the motorboat standard. below a few pictures, explaining more than words
  31. boris279
    Wish that i could shrink my self like Pan Tau does then i could sail on your ship !! Absolutely beautiful done !!
  32. boris279
    And we're gonna go a little further Thank you all for the thumbs up and fine words. The boat cranes are ready as far as I can see The rivets are a kind of decals I once bought for model trains HO scale 1/87. this came pretty close to the 1/100 scale I'm building in. Some pieces come out nicely but also many pieces is the rivet for rivet to place, I fix the rivets with a liquid (solvaset) this makes the decals slightly soft and therefore more beautiful to form. The "old" ones weren't nice in shape and were distorted, so I made new ones out of

    update: thanks everyone for the thumbs up and kind words !! I've started with a first start for the on-board cranes since I didn't like the included on-board cranes I've decided to make them new. under some photos (its still premature, but gives a impression)
  34. boris279
    first everyone thanks for the thumbs up Update : I think that I can close the steam launch chapter, I consider them more or less ready, so small details left but that I will apply on a later moment. still one motor sloop left but that’s a other chapter on a other time. below a few pictures.
  35. boris279
    small update Thanks for the comments and thumbs up Still working on the steamboats, have made tarpaulins, the steam boilers and machinery and some details to the upper structure this far. Now working on the propeller shaft and rudder blade and some other details on the hull.

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.
