    I have the same feeling about them as you...i also do like the more traditional look without the decorations. And regarding the black or blue color... that's something to think about indeed. Thanks for your input!

    Looks great man! you've come a long way. You did not use the golden side decorations? I'm doubting myself to to use them. I'm not sure if i like the look of them.

    Thanks Mike! Yes especially the first one that goes around the corner so to speak. But with a little help of some soaking i managed it well.

    That is a really neat finish, so clean! Nice job!

    So now the gap remaining between the main wale and the keel needs to be filled. I'll do my best at the portion above the waterline, but underneath that i will go a bit faster and just cover the hull. A bit to much effort for something you don't see so planking that portion just how the planks will fall and lay on the hull. I understand the procces now how to calculate and divide the planks so no need to practice that
  27. mugje
    Little update from what i'm doing: I glued the three underlying planks of the main wale, but realised i made a mistake because the wale tapers a bit at the bow. So I removed the lowest plank and tapered that one at the correct dimensions. Ofcourse those three planks will be covered with another three planks, but the planking against the lower part of the main wale will have a nicer run i think.

    That is a beautiful result! And what a nice presentation of the ship, i really like it

    I understand what you mean...it does look too monotonous, but a great time-saver for those who don't like to plank the deck. But i would too plank it over with some nice planks.

    What a lovely job you are doing at this ship! Great!
  31. mugje
    Welkom Kloppie!
  32. mugje
    Exciting to watch! You and Chris are on fire with designing and building
  33. mugje
    I will dive in to that...and see how it looks on other people ships. 100% tung oil is easy to find here in the Netherlands, so that won't be a problem. Thanks for the tip!

    Great post! I'm going to wait out as long as possible with varnishing the deck. And indeed good tip with testing varnish or oils on a test piece. Don't no yet what to use for the outer hull walnut planking, but will have some time to figure that out. Yes you are totally right...just finding a sweet spot between effort and fun.
  35. mugje
    Thanks Mike! Yeah the effort of those special planking was great to get it right, and there is still some tricky parts to do in that space against the bulwarks. But the result is very pleasing for the eye...it looks really something different. Great to hear that the colors even out in time...even when you varnished them? Thank Richard! You are doing a great job too...the modifications you are doing...there is a lot of inspiration for me in your log! I'm amazed at what you're adjusting from the kit And thanks everyone else for the likes

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.
