    It is a pity that drawing has no ‘topview’, I would be interested in the width of those stairs, and their position towards the centerline… Iguess that 80 centimeters is enough for tiller handling. Jan

    post #45 by Waldemar shows an other solutionto prevent impratical doors: the stairs outside the cabins. (Combined wirh inwatd swinging doors, I presume) Jan

    Mixing up two build logs most pics of the black and white (sure it isn’t some light shade of pinkish-white ?) show signs of heavy neglect. Do you have any idea on where ‘patching up’ starts and ‘the original design’ ends? And what are you going to show: the rotting outer hull with planking over, or how it could have been, given proper maintainance? Jan

    I guess it has something to do with mass-production, tolerances and profitmargins. Based on pics, the 3D printed versions seem far more consistent than the average wooden deadeyes. https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/deadeyes-and-specialty-blocks.php#!/3-mm-Deadeyes-3D-Printed-Color-SWISS-PEAR-25-per-package/p/696011837/category=9242145 Jan

    Hi Chris, It’s a pity, as the plane itself is a nice one. Is the problem in the design of the kit itself, or in a sloppy execution of the lasercut parts? (Meaning: should we avoid these kits, or should we try to build them without the laser-parts?) Jan

    Isn't that a very distracting view ? Man, I would love to have something like that in front of of my window..... (or anywhere near home.....) Good luck in your new home (and shop)! Jan

    With respect to the models: some of them are in the ‘completed models gallery’ of MSW. Buildlogs can be found on ‘papermodellers.com and here on MSW (search for Hooker, Icouldn’t get a working link…) Jan

    Yup, far easier. I found this on a site of RC-builders. (Rcgroups.com) A very large scale (1/3) model of a DVI. It is labelled as fuel gauge. But still, no clue how this can be created usingthose two parts …. Jan

    Yeah, but scoops have their open end ‘face forward’. This one faces backwards. I like these basic planes with their funky camo. Jan

    But there are pics showing this part (only head on….) comes from a russian site: https://flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft25494.htm Jan

    Your memory isn’t faulty: both Amsterdam and Batavia show the guns fully rigged and ‘ready for action’. Nicer for the tourists Jan

    Friesland is a nice model. Don’t believe the hostorical info given by Mamoli. It is correct as far as dates and places of the battles are concerned. Not with respect to the ship. The model is based on drawings and photographs published in a (at least on this side of the pool) famous german book ‘Hollandische Zweidecker’ by Heinrich Winter. The book shows a contemporaneous model of a (presumably fictitious) Dutch ship that ended its long life in bombing of Berlin in 1944/45. The book is still available second hand, and many of the pictures can be found online. Nice when you want to do some detailing. Jan

    Coming along nicely! With respect to wale/transompiece: the connection is not a ‘structural’ one. It should, however, be without gaps, to keep the water out. Deck camber is OK, often the camber of the cabin (top deck) is slightly more than of the main deck. One remark on the deck: The aft deck is lying too low, there is no railing or any planking higher than the deck (see also the statenjacht or the models referred to earlier in this thread) And another point: it looks as if your ship is lying a bit too low in the water. With respect to ‘what next’: I don’t know whether it does anything to your workflow, but the cabins and the decklayout would be nice. Adding leeboards however do the most to the general views Jan

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.
