    The easiest way to messure the thickness of a thread is by winding it 10 or 20 times around a dowel, windings close to each other, and then measure the total width. Divide it through the number of windings - et voila!

    In his 17th century book Aloude en hedendaagsche scheepsbouw en bestier (ancient and current ship-building and sailing) , Nicolaes Witsen gives an overview of the thickness of various ropes and rigging for ships. These thicknesses are related to mast diameters or circumferences. An indication of the thickness of the ratlines that can be obtained from his tables gives a value of about 1/4 to 1/3 of the thickness of the shrouds. So, with a shroud thickness of 0.8 mm for this model, a ratline of about 0.2 to 0.27 mm thickness can be used. And yes - this is quite thin 🙂

    I’ve got two barrels now, one plain first try, and the second one with all the decoration and modifications in the size. This is okay: size of the spindle and diameter of the inner barrel
  26. *Hans*
    It is resin (credits to my son who designed it after an original 17th century canon), 3D printed on a resin printer. I coated it with real bronze powder, soluted in schellack, and gave it a ammonia treatment to give it the authentic weathered look. We can print in in almost any scale, but the maximum length is roughly 20 cm. The carriage is made out of oak, but for the kit this will be most likely elm (which was the most used wood for carriages, according to Blom). I am still “struggling” with the size of the weels, as they might be a bit to large.

    You might find this interesting: we have started some time ago with the development of a kit of a 17th century bronze canon. This should come to live somewhere this year. @ Olli, sorry for interrupting your log.

    The hole in the barrel is just a few mm deep, as drilling them deeper caused production difficulties (and a lot higher production price). I just glued them in position with a drop of pva glue underneath it. Hans

    Very nice work! When I was busy designing this little ship as a model kit, I had great difficulties finding gratings in larger quantities for an acceptable price. Therefore the covered version 🙂

    You could go for closed gunports, and stow the cannons to the sides of the ship, parallel to the hull. If not in use the cannons where put aside to the hull, tight up with ropes.

    Looking very fine! Regarding your photo of the deadeyes: make sure they all are mounted in the correct position, with two holes on top and one on the bottom. They should look like a surprised young lady. A deadeye is called a “juffer” in Dutch, and this is an old fashion word (17th century) for a young (unmarried) lady. If you look at it you will see.

    Then, about the decorations and carvings. We are busy replacing every decoration for 3D designed and printed ones. This is unfortunately a very time consuming and therefore slow process.
  33. *Hans* started following Pinas by rcweir - FINISHED - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 - Cross-Section - Dutch 17th Century ship and Duyfken by Olli Sukunimisson - Kolderstok - 1:50

    Ha, I did not see thus topic before, until I was noticed about it on the Dutch forum. Very nice work you’ve been doing here, and completely in the Dutch way, where every ship was uniquely decorated to the wishes of the owner and captain.
  35. *Hans*
    Nice work!

    A little bit late from my side, but yes, it is available!

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.
