    Hello, and thank you for your comments and likes today I started with an experiment to create the shroud pins. With some branches from my boxtree. Let's see what's going to be. The arrow shows one of the Gokstad ship in the scale, it is 13mm long!

    Hello, it is done, the deck is finished. That was no easy job, at least in the stern and stem. I'm waiting now for the second oiling, and build in that time may be the rudder, some cleats or toggles. And that is all you could see from the interior. Just some frames and parts of the mast step. But I have the pictures.

    Hello, and thank you all for your comments and likes today I started with the deck. Now with the first oiling. The toggle is for the halyard, fastened to the frame below. So I started also with rigging. 😊

    Keith, not all. At the SB side I would left the deck right to the mast fish open. 😊

    Hello, After a short break, we continue now. The last two stands are now ready. Since nothing is straight here, they got me really busy. But it's done now. Next is the deck to be made. That means, cutting wood first.

    Hello Cisko, as you can see in the picture, the stand is made of 3 parts. I haven't found more parts in the trash bin anymore. In this case, the stand itself must first be dressed. That's the difficult part. Everything else will explain itself, hopefully.

    As I have seen, people don't need to take off their shoes anymore when they come to the ship 😄

    Thank you Patrick

    Hello, the first stand (?) is installed. This is the fourth version of it. 😟 I worked here after a drawing from Frederik Johannessen, he reconstructed the ship. And at least the whole ship

    It's a nice little ship you build, Keith

    Thank you Keith.

    Hello and thank you for your kind comments and likes today I finished the knees. That was a nerve-consuming process. But now it's done. The next not so easy work would be the stand, standing in front of the mast.

    Thank you John

    Thank you Keith

    Hello, today a short update. The mast fish is installed and also the first knees
  18. Siggi52
    Hello, now the mast fish is more or less ready. All the corners who brocke off yesterday are repaired, and the whole thing glued to the ground plate. In reallity this is one great block of oak! So when all is settled tomorrow, I think I could start with the knees who hold the mastfish in place.

    Hello, and many thanks for your comments and likes Over the weekend I oiled the outer part of the ship the second time, and today I build the upper part of the Mast Fish.

    Hello, yesterday I oiled the hull, except the beams where later the mast fish lies. I think that it is time to build a stand. So that is, what I'm planing for the next time, during witch the oil could dry.
  22. Siggi52
    Thank you Keith

    Hello, this is a great day, the oar ports are closed. To get the lids as close a possible centred over the hole, I turned a stick slightly smaller then the hole of 2,3mm. That was the hardest part today. 😀 Then I glued the lid, centred the stick to the lid, put the stick through the hole and glued the lid fast. Done And the results
  24. Siggi52
    Hello, and thank you for your kind comments and likes The lids are done. But the next great thing is, glue them to the ship. You could't grip them with tweezers or thongs! I have an idea, but if that works, I will see tomorrow.

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.
