    Tony Very nice instructions and pictures. This can be applied to any model as well. Beautiful done!

    I contacted the providers of the kit and so far this one is not available in the USA for subscription. And probably not ever. So I am really looking forward to see this kit coming together.

    Mobbsie, at what scale are you building this lovely Lancia Armata. With those dimensions she will be heavy. I know you are meaning mm and not meter. Just giving you a hard time.

    Due to an accident, I am short of five parts for planking. Because of this I don't feel to work forward. I am currently in contact with the retailer for the kit, who in their turn are in contact with manufacturer for replacement part. I hope this will have a positive outcome. If not, I have taken pre-active measures to have other material available. As for price of the extra material I am not that thrilled, but I think the final finish will truly justify the extra cost. Considering the original boat had mahogany planking my solution should be fine.

    Erik, This build log is probably the cleanest I ever seen. The pictures are great too. Looking forward to more.

    Dan Have you weight your yacht yet? Some designed displacements are around 300 grams.
  7. Nirvana
    Dan, Unless you are intending of racing it doesn't matter if you have extra weight. Otherwise, light as possible within class regulations. ​

    Jim, that wss good a good call. Electronical problems are worse than mechanical. Glad to hear you are back up running the machines.

    Small boat, big Award! My warmest and sincerest Congrats to the Award. Splendid!

    Jim Thank you for your input. I think the bottom line from many of us is digging into the check and credit book for the investment and knowing what you are getting. I am fortunate and was able to buy a barely used thickness sander of yours from a friend. I know the quality behind. And I won't go with anything else but your table saw, when I have the money. How much I will use it? I don't know! Can I justify the investment? Very likely. So, here is my thoughts. When the day comes for me to stop modelling (which will never happen, unless an accident prevents me), and I have several of Byrnes Machines, there will be a higher value than any other machines out there. No wonder it is so hard to find a used Byrnes table saw. My last cents, now I have to start saving them for a Byrnes table saw.

    Aydin, I see you still have the Riva in the build slip, I would have removed it before any varnishing is applied this to avoid any splashing on the slip. But that's only my two cents. However, you are doing an amazing progress with her, she will be a big beauty on the water.

    Who knows, maybe with all this type of attention to a very specific product HobbyZoneUsa might be a sponsor. With my new workshop I will certainly have some of the modules.

    Aydin, I would suggest to get reduction gearbox for a more scale like performance. However, it is looking sweet.

    Keith, that didn't helped me at all.... ​
  15. Nirvana
    I think Howie are refering to a used one.And so am I.
  16. Nirvana
    Gunther a new one but of course.... lol Every once in a while I am on Jims page and putting an order together. Related question, which accessories should be the first essentials?
  17. Nirvana
    Looking good Aydin, regarding the front light, does the kit come with any sort of inserts for the woodframe? Then another question, and I think it's only the camera angle, but the longitudinal of the light frames are to be parallell with the deck. You are building a speedster in speeding time....
  18. Nirvana
    Now wait Howie..... I am first on that list! lol
  19. Nirvana
    Aydin Wow you really are rocking building the Riva. It's interesting and fun to follow along.
  20. Nirvana
    Aydin, Wow, you took off quickly and nicely. It's nice to see something more modern being built too. The build slip looks really to be a good investment. Sorry for not making the final at Eurovision Song Contest. I watch it over here in the USA.
  21. Nirvana
    That is a build slip I would go for....
  22. Nirvana
    Chris, And probably much better than any previous building slips we have seen being available.
  23. Nirvana
    Mikeymo, Edit: Oh I forgot one thing. A warm welcome to MSW! Thank you for the introduction of your journey with Endeavour. I am looking forward to this build. No I am not building her. Have to many waiting anyway. But now I am pulling up the first chair, getting a good cup of java and enjoy this.

    As all the parts are laser cut, so there will some sanding to get rid of the burn marks. This picture will show the burns to the left with their starting points, the other side is worse.
  25. Nirvana
    Mati, Those picture you uploaded are crispy clean! Extremely nice photo job along with the parts!

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.
