I was originally planning on building the Amati Revenge 1577 for my next project. On reading builds of similar ships, I became interested in the Dusek line of kits. I was impressed by how everyone thought so well of them. I purchased the Golden Hind from Ages of Sail. Firstly, Ages of Sail was a pleasure to deal with and I had my kit in just a few days from California to New Jersey. Secondly, the kit IS nice. At 1/72 scale its a lot smaller than the 1/64 Revenge! So I plan to wait a bit on the Revenge for the moment and build the Golden Hind first. I have emailed Daniel Dusek to see if I could upgrade some of the parts to pear from the supplied walnut. Does anyone know what kind of wood is supplied for the planking, I can't quite tell what it is. It's similar to walnut but much lighter in color. I am looking forward to this model.

Best ask Daniel Dusek about the wood. He is a forum member and very helpful.

 

I was wondering about the wood of my bireme also...I asked Daniel and got the answer pretty quick. (Alder wood...amazing stuff).

 

I look forward to see your Golden Hind build.

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.
