    Thank you very much for all your good wishes, likes and so on. I'm working at the moment to create the rail in front of the quarter deck, and that is not so simple as it looks. So it may take some time.
  23. Siggi52
    Hello, and thank you for all the likes and wishes. Since I sent the team home for the holidays, I worked a little for myself. The kevels and cavels were on the list. Here the kevels and the cavels

    Hello Dan, thank you for your kind words. Yes you may ask me questions, may be over PM, but I must say that I'm not an expert about sails. All I know about the sails in these ships, I know from Ms Bischoff's book about the Oseberg ship. See here the first page. Could we see pictures of your ship somewhere?
  25. Siggi52
    Scrubby, thats the only stuff that holds me upright at the moment 😇
  26. Siggi52
    Hello, and many thanks for all your likes and comments. Because I unfortunately have a serious cold, we decided to prefer the Christmas party and then close the ship yard first. So we all from the ship yard wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026

    Hello, it is done! In the former version was too much zig zag, especially with the lage bows. So I laid the short plank a little to the inside and at least made the end pieces new. I don't know why I build them straight? May be my cold. But now all is more or less flush with the surounding area.
  28. Siggi52
    Hello, today only bad news. Because I'm not really satisfied with my work of the last days, I decidet to build some things new. If it come out better, who knows The last stand
  29. Siggi52
    Hello, the carpenters build the end pieces and the painter had painted them. The shipwright is pleased. When the painter has varnish all tomorrow, I think we are ready with this.
  30. Siggi52
    Hello, the carpenters have finished the arches and the painter had all this afternoon painted. Now only the two end pieces left.
  31. Siggi52
    Thank you Keith, I hope I must not water them 😏

    Hello, and thank you very much for your kind coments and likes. Today only a small update, I could't resist to file, sand and paint the fife rail here.
  34. Siggi52
    Hello, today I build in the first arch. But before that I had to repair the drift rails here. I had installed them at the wrong side 😐 I turned the arch much wider than the rail Fitting in the arch was the most complicated part here.
  35. Siggi52
    Hello, the first fife rails are installed. This was the light part, the complicated part with the arches is the next challenge 😐 But I have very talented carpenters, so I hope that this would not cause any problems.
  36. Siggi52
    Hello, and many thanks for your kind comments now everything is pretty again and the deck is oiled. Next on my list are the Fife Rails. At the last picture you could see, how low the deck at these ships where. The shipwright is 1,80m tall, so it's just comfortable for smaller people.

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.
