Hi everyone.

I've always been fascinated by historical sailing ships. They just look so awesome. 

 

I am very new to modeling. A few years ago I bought an AL viking kit to see if I would be interested in the hobby. I started the build but never finished it. A few weeks ago I decided to finish it and then found this forum.

 

Once I am done with my viking kit, my next project is going to be the San Francisco II.

Newspaper,

Welcome aboard.  Been a long time since I read or heard much in Afrikaans, (55 years) and this brings back fond memories of Capetown, P. E., (with a half day side trip to Cape St. Francis to check out the surfing thanks to an incentive after watching Bruce Brown's movie),  East London and Durban.  Beautiful country.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Allan

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

This was the last place I though anyone would understand some Afrikaans. It is quite a beautiful country.

 

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

 

For those who are interested, here is my first model in progress:

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.
