    Wow, those sails look very wel crafted. You must be a very patient man to do this.

    Beautifull build! What is it with Turkey? They build so much nice ships there. Models as well as full scale ships.

    The hull got her first base coating.

    Hello Jan, The white stuff is filler to fill the gap between the straight sections and the upper curved section. I will try to simulate the hull plating but it will be very difficult because I have very little refference material

    Thank you guys!

    I am absolutely amazed by your woodwork. How on earth can you work so neat. All the joints fits so well! :im Not Worthy:

    It looks great. Looking forward to see the rest of the build of this extraordinary ship.

    Today I sanded the new hull i made from mdf sections. The sanding went well and with the drawings and some photo's I managed to make a good shaped hull. Now I am going to finish the bull with some filler and sanding and then to the next step.

    Well what can I say. I glued the sections together and added the topsection (wich is curved) and then I wanted to start sanding. But I had a bad feeling about it and started to measure everything again and compared it whit the plans I had. I turned out I had made a big mistake with making the drawings and the sections. The sections where not wide enough, they are arround 2 cm to short. That was a bummer But in the meantime I recieved (unexpected) a really good lineplan wich I would not have to adjust. So I am still going strong and just started a new build. It will take some time but there will be a new update soon. This time with a good hull with good measurements Regards, Kees

    Very Interesting build this one. Good to see the carbonpaper again, I was forgotten it.
  13. kees de mol
    Very nice these details. I wonder what else you will show us

    Today I have sawn the mulitple sections of the hull. After this I will glue them together and then it's time for sanding, sanding and more sanding. I keep the lineplan nearby to control myself while sanding and then I will have an accurate hullform. Regards, Kees

    Very clean build. Especially I like your woodcarving and turning.

    It will be the burden I have to carry the next few months

    Shame it went wrong with the ladder but the wooden version is looking better in my opinion.

    Some photo's of the VL 16 wich was the sistership of the KW 49. They are the same in construction

    In post 79 I see some nice clamps (dont know how to call them) Do you know the name of them? Regards, Kees
  20. kees de mol
    You work like a magician. Most of the time I dont have a clue of what you are doing but I like watching the build.
  21. kees de mol
    I am amazed by how you did the floor of the captains cabin. Very well done
  22. kees de mol
    I followed this thread from the moment I arrived on this forum. It gave me a smile when I saw how you handled the problems and how inventive you were. Now the only thing I miss is a shot with the proud builder and the model together Regards, Kees
  23. kees de mol
    You are very inventive making those masts. Nice to see how you extended your lathe. I have to keep that in mind for the day the wood-fever will hit me.
  24. kees de mol
    Look'n good! Ik like the metal sheets on the hull.
  25. kees de mol
    Are you now sure you have it right? Then start building quick and you will soon forget the mistakes. Good luck Veel succes! Regards Kees

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.
