Greetings modellers. I am quite experienced in plastic and paper modelling, but a rookie in wooden models. As a huge fan of history, wars at sea and pirates fiction it was a matter of time when I will start to build sail ships. Unfortunately my main issue was workplace, but finally there are some kits that actually don't require a lot of woodworking so I can build them at my flat. I invite you to follow and comment my build log.

Witam!

 

I am a fellow fan of card modeling, though my work does not approach the level of the Polish masters.

 

Glad to have you aboard!

Witam! :) Looking at your Mig-15, your skill at paper modelling is very good. I am not very experienced paper modeller, but I am huge fan of it (unfortunately it takes a lot of time to finish a paper model and many mistakes are not reversible). Also as many guys from Poland my modelling adventure started from paper modelling (famous Polish 'Maly Modelarz').

Have you checked out Seahorse Models there in Poland?

 

They make some very nice card ships.

Yes, I actually bought the Armed Virginia Sloop from them. Really nice and highly detailed kits. Still, I personally prefer wooden sailing ships over card models.

There’s also Shipyard from Poland – they make both card and wooden kits. I’ve seen a few build logs of their models here on the forum.

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.
