The MAYFLOWER - CARD - 1:100

This is my model of the Mayflower from c.a. 1620, based on the plans from Waldemar Nowy (1976) from the polish model plans publication "Plany modelarskie, Vol. 78, Nr. 2, 1977".

Waldemar Novy in turn based his plans on the plans for the Mayflower II, by William A. Baker (1958).

I made a few modifications to be more historically accurate, especially with the rigging from that period. I started this build back in 2010 and finished it this year, 2020 in December.

The model is made of cardboard of various thicknesses. Wooden parts are only the masts and the blocks. The blocks I purchased from Master Korabel. I used the self adhesive foil with wooden pattern and altered with oil paints. Colored parts were painted with either enamel paints for plastic kits or waterproof art-markers.

Rgds,

Radek

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.
