    Hi Gahm...E X C E L L E N T build!!!!!!! I have the kit and it is prop my next one. Being in the study phase, I wonder if you know whats the use of the quarter galleries, since there is no space behind them on the deck, or any kind of door at least. Thanks for your time. Mike.

    Great stuff Druxey!!!! manymany thanks!!!!
  22. BIGMAC
    agreed!!!! even if the angles are 90, it is still a parallelogram.....
  23. BIGMAC
    Thanks Jaager....I got what u mean. Just to add here that the exact is "'A Parallelogram is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and equal in length."' which means that squares and rectangles are Parallelograms too. A parallelogram where all angles are right angles is a rectangle.
  24. BIGMAC
    Hi Druxey...do you happen to have a close-up drawing of this??
  25. BIGMAC
    Hi Jag....Saying parallelograms, you mean Diamond shaped as in case C?
  26. BIGMAC
    Hi dafi.......its about a late 18th century Mediterranean Brig
  27. BIGMAC
    Thanks Spy .......and !!!!! I have exactly the same question- how do the hinges work!!!!!! I was thinking, maybe the upper side remains parallel to the waterline and the lower side is inclined...maybe
  28. BIGMAC
    Thanks Druxey.... So you say C is the correct one?
  29. BIGMAC
    Not sure which one of B, C or D is correct.... A...Deck line parallel to water line...Ok, thats easy. Just a square. In cases B, C and D, the deck line not parallel to W.L. B is like A....the left and right sides vertical to the Water Line, up and down parallel to the W.L. C has left and right sides vertical to the Water Line, up and down parallel to the Deck....Not a square. No right angles. D is a square with left and right sides "vertical" to the Deck Line, up and down "parallel" to the Deck Line. Think D is the correct one, not sure though........ Any Advice pls? Thanks, Mike.

    Hi there Big, and good luck with your project.....Is this a scratch or a kit? what scale? ...and if it is a kit, which one please? Thanks!!!!
  31. BIGMAC
    many thanks Thanasis......one would expect to be widely used, even in present day, in the Mediterranean area, but I dont recall to have seen it anywhere.

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.
