New design Winchelsea Nef

This kit is of diffent interest for me. I agree that it does work with the Viking kit.
It’s an area of English maritime history that we do not see and forerunner of the
Bremen and English Carvel type ships.
I will buy it when I come across its availability.

I am glad that you understand exactly the idea that gave rise to the ‘NEF’ kit, Together with this kit the “Oseberg” will be available in the same scale as the ‘NEF’, namely 1-32. These two ships absolutely have a place next to each other on the shelf...).
 
The last report I read on the Nef was Mar 21 2024 This being April 21 what is the latest on the Nef progress ? :) Just got the latest Apr11 looks great can't wait.

Hello, Keith

The figures for the Nef set are planned for closer to autumn in our shop, as soon as they are available I will post pics on the forum straight away. By the way, next year I plan to release one more Nef ship set, the drawings for it are already ready, I was informed about it today by Eugene Troppmann...)))))
 
My next project is a set of construction plans titled “Nef of Sandwich” – another chapter in my ongoing series of historical ship designs.

Sandwich Nef

Dear ship modelers, I’d like to present my new ship plan — a nef from Sandwich, which was part of the Cinque Ports Confederation. In medieval England, this alliance was a significant military and economic force. The foundation for my reconstruction is the historical seal of the town of Sandwich...
