Hi all,

 

My name is Dirk and recently joined the MSW forum.

 

I have always loved the looks of the old wooden sailing ships. Be it fishing boats, yachts, first rates or anything in between. They all have their own type of appleal.

 

I'm quite sure I 'inherited' the modelling bug through my late dad. Although so far I never started a wooden boat kit.

 

My dad did several times though (although both of us mostly in RC planes). His latest he never got to finish (BB Regina).  I'd love to complete it, as the end result, and process, would truely provide a threasured memory. Sadly, I have zero experience, thus need need to climb the learning curve.

 

I purchased a couple of kits to practice on, prior to completing dad's partial build.  Being 2 BB Marie Jeanne kits and 2 additional BB Regina's.

 

So, looking forward to the interaction with you all.

 

Sincerely

Dirk  (Belgium)

Welcome to MSW, Dirkske.  Feel free to start a build log when you're ready to begin.  They're the best way to get help and also meet others.

Hi Dirk and welcome to Model Ship World.  It is great that you are going to finish your Dad's model and that you shared his modeling interests.  I know he enjoyed this.

Hello Dirk and welcome to this great site. I have built the Marie Jeanne by Billing a long time ago now. I really like the lines of this boat and it's colourful paint scheme. I ran across another site that had photos of the same model built by other modellers with totally different colourings. It was a treat to see! Anyway, all the best with your project. It was a fun build for me and I hope a fun one for you as well. Happy New Year!

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.
