    So, Santa is on its way and the days are getting darker so lots of time for fun. (Althoug its getting colder to work in the shed) After finishing the galjoen which took quite some puzzzling I started working on some ornaments, I am now the proud owner of a CNC machine for that. I tried handcarving (followed even some lessons from a friend) but that's simply not my 'thing'. And I started painting her. As the deck will be closed soon I have to foresee some ropes as I cant reach the knight afterwards. Captains quarters doors with selfmade ornaments by CNC

    Thanks for posting the link, but to my opinion that proxxon and hegner are way too high priced. nearly full new price. If you shop around the proxxon can be found new for less in Germany. Just my 2 cents.

    If they were in EU I would easily rank them as fraud. No references or links to safe trading institutions, no independent reviewers site where you can check them out. Call them, seems they list a phone number.

    Again a 2 months period has passed, you all might be thinking I stopped building. Now indeed I stopped building temporarily as another project came by but that has been finished so I continued the build. I finished the gunports on the Verdek and also the gunport lids. The inner planking up to the halfdek was also done. After that I started working on the bow section before going farther up. I decided the concentrate my build a little more (I have been building crosswise) I will build basically from down to up. Status per today.

    I think I would go for the least impact solution. Leave as it is and I would smuggle with iron of the hinges just as if it were how it should be.

    Wauw, just realise its been 2 months since an update. Now I also have been busy building other projects and some holidays. But some progress was made, so here he goes. I finished the deck planking and did some roping as later on I would not reach the knights head anymore. During the clamping of the inner planking a clamp spri=ung off. I was uncarefull in placing it so I had to repair the parts carefully. I used sanded dust and diluted glue as I did not want to replace the parts. I was quite succefull i think. Then I also decided to add the kitchen chimney. A wooden block was made to shape. Then 0.4 copper was used to build it and a edge of 1mm copper to complete the image.

    Jim, she used and older email and it came through. Very strange why the h.oosterwaal@... does not work from your end, it does work for this forum's notifications?? Anyway, I was stupid and had my sliding table fell to the floor. Its bent now. Tried to remedy but alass. So decided to purchase a new one and use parts of the old one for some of my jigs. Sorry for all the trouble and thanks. Hans.

    Jim, checked this morning, alass no mail. I think maybe Donna might be using an older email from me? I just send here another email at mmllc@cfl.rr.com Thanks Hans.

    Hi Jim, any luck of getting some time to look at my order?
  13. YankeeD
    Hi Jim, hows the work going? I put an order in week and half ago. Any indication as when it could be shipped? Thanks for having Donna take a look. Just so I know whats the wait. Thanks Hans.

    Andre, I am building the 7 provincien and have (had) the same problems with the angle of the platforms (de mars). A lot of models show them quite angled whereas sometimes you see them horizontally. Angled is said te be for the fact that (mostly sweet rain) water will run down and away. But I also mounted them horizontally, which seems more logical and fitting to me. water will run away anyway with the platforms being rather open en the ship probably always rocking due to waves. further a very nice build.

    Nearly another month, time for an update. As I was working on the bowsprit I decided to finish all mast and all parts of the masts. Highest point reached!! Time for a beer Experimenting with rope, as it is nearing time to fix some rope. As I cannot reach that anymore after closing the deck. 1mm drill bit

    Jim, What about a special consignment job to build me one? Not being able to build and ship 120V motor units could maybe leave you some spare hours :)? RGDS Hans.

    Who again said: “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”?
  18. YankeeD
    OK clear, thanks Jim. There are some on the market, but not as good as yours. I currently have the proxxon. its ok but as their table saw compares against your table saw, just a step down on the ladder. Rgds Hans
  19. YankeeD
    Jim as you provide a larger table top for the table saw is there a likewise option for the disc sander? I would be very much interested in a 250mm disc sized discsander Rgds Hans

    As the new moth approaches time for another update. The first part of the deck, all between the strakes, had been finished, still dry fit. And I will keep it dry fit for some time as to keep acces to the orlop. I did some parts on the main deck, like the kolderstok. Also the Rusts for the putting irons were made And next was the bowmast. I still needed to make the bottom fitting square and making a holder for it. During this I found the mast not properly alinged and thatw as adjusted. Final and correct aligment now. Creating some other parts on the deck.

    Indeed it is coming nicely together Marcus! By the way, hobbying outside in the sun is a joy
  22. YankeeD
    David, sorry for asking but shouldn't the stairs and pillars stand on the deck? They seem somewhat elevated now.
  23. YankeeD
    Very nice build 👍I will hop on for the rest of the ride.
  24. YankeeD
    Sorry no, I only build scratch. I just wanted to clear misunderstanding. shipping vice versa, UK and mainland is still as before, just EU rules.
  25. YankeeD
    In terms of taxes and import nothing has changed yet. Only by end of this year and only then if no agreement is reached on forehand. As far as I am aware that is.

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.
