Hello Marc, thank you, and no I would't rig the model. The ship is now 1,15m long and 40cm high. With a rig it would be 1,40m long and also high. That is much too large. And there are too much sticks and twine for me
-
Hello today we started with the fife rails. First I tuned the arches for the reserve mast storages, then build the rails itself and fitted them in. The rest will come the next days.
-
Hello, and thank you scrubby and Glenn for your comments, and all the others for your likes. Now the belfry has also a bell.
-
Hello, I build the side parts, because drawing them would be nearly impossible. And then came the hardest thing, to assemble the parts. But at least all went well and the shipwright is pleased. Tomorrow the painter has to paint it all.
-
Hello and thank you for all the likes, after my last post, my cat and I decided to enjoy the now warm sunshine after a more cold spring and being lazy. But yesterday we had here a little, long awaited, rain and I started with the arch of the belfry. The first attempt did't work, so today part two of it I think it worked this time .

Hello, Slowly I get this deck finished. I turned the sheaves for the railing and made the chimney and ventilation for the stove. Even the mast foot is ready. So the next things are the bell and railing.
-
Hello, slowly, but steady the carpenters get the deck ready. First I thought to leave it so, but I think I should build the bows also in front of the open deck.
-
Hello, the carpenters laid the first planks. I'm away from the shipyard over the next weekend, so I think that the workers made nothing during that time
-
Hello, the shipwright has done his homework, but it may take a little time to realise it. There are so many small things to build, before I could assemble them.
-
Hello, today the carpenters build in the waterways, the planking and the final edge of the deck. The painter is just ready with his job.
-
Hello, it is done! The interior of the fore castle is ready. But first I had to build the 26 12 pdr ready and some smaller things, like the ashtrays for the ovens and the fire place.
-
Hello, the carpenters where very busy today and build the walls for the kitchen. So, when I made the pictures, they where at there way home.
-
Thank you Keith, when I remember right, was wood and coal stored in the fish room. It's in front of last room in the hold.
-
Hello and many thanks for the nice comments and likes, and some last masonry work around the galley.
-
Hello, I was't really active at the shipyard the last days, because of the first really spring days with 20°C and sunshine. Now we are back in the reality with 7°C and rain! But slowly the galley get ready. Today the shipwright inspected her and was satisfied. So I think I could glue her fast and start with the kitchen in front of her.
-
Keith, don't worry, I bought the bricks. That are real clay bricks, but not burned. Jaager, no I would't make it easy Tobias and all others, thank you
-
Hello, after I have my other yard more or les ready for spring, I'm back at the ship yard. The carpenters have build the basic scaffolding for the galley and I'm do now the masonry work. I think, it's easier doing it 1:1

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.
