Hanse Kogge from Elblag

The Cog (Kogge) was the typical one masted trade ship of the era from XII to XV centruty C.E. used by the Hanseatic League sailing in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Elbing Cog - Koga Elblaska - was reconstructed based on archeological finds of other cogs, but mainly based on the seal of the town of Elblag.

 

This model is based on the paper model from Maly Modelarz 9/2000 in the scale 1:100. It was my return to sail ship modelling after a decade long break. Instead of paper and card I used balsa wood to get some experience in bending planks and working with wood. Balsa is not the best material for making a model, but it is cheap and turned out pretty well. The model is not made historically accurate (for instance the rigging) but was made as a nice decoration piece.

 

The model was finished in 2010.

Hi Nils,

 

It is written in the description, 1:100 in metric units or imperial about 1/8 I think (please correct me on the imperial scale, should it be wrong). 😊

 

It is originally a paper kit from Maly Modelarz (old polish paper model company mainly for youths), but I scratch built the parts from balsa wood and tried to do some research on the rigging.

 

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.
