    Is it the deck curvature, or the height of the backwall? Inboth cases: scissors solve everything Jan

    I have Sibajak on my pile of ‘to do”s, but still not confifdent enough to start cutting. I read varying reviews: not easy but doable, but also “flawd, needing many work-arounds’….. Jan

    Nice start! Are you going to ‘upgrade’ on the windows? Those blue squares don’t look very ‘glassy’. (although I know that all designers use this style when it comes to larger windows) Jan

    What surprises me is that these ships even made it to this day. 80 Years is quite an age. Jan

    That is what makes you what you are: the ability to reduce complicated stuff into relatively easy parts. Most people get stuck at that point (at least, I do ) Thanks for explaining. Jan

    Which reads a bit as ‘for a gifted modelbuilder like me, it is not as difficult as you think it is’ You can tell us that it is not as difficult as we think it is, but we keep looking in astonishment and awe, and tell you your work looks / is perfect. Jan

    It is even larger than I imagined. Impressive (in al aspects) model. Jan

    When you tead Witsen or Van Eijk, they seemed to have been obsessed by the size and woodtype of the structural components. Planking is mentioned but hardly at a specific level. Also in building conyracts it is wuality that is required, not size as such or any regularity in planking. Look at Vasa: deck planking looks as if they used what was bailable. No regularity, nothing sawn ‘to specification’. Wood was expensive, so why discard a 10 inch board, or saw a 25 inch to 20? Jan

    Nice to see this model again. Did you do some models of cities or castles recently? Jan

    Your Emden is becoming a real eye-catcher! Jan

    With a bit of photoshopping of the background, this can be used as a ‘rare picture of the original’ Looking very convincing! Jan

    And the original will be 4 mm too short to replace the nect one that is eaten by the carpetmonster Impressive ship/model. Seeing her withthe guns mounted will be another major moment . Jan

    Nice model. Reminds me of the O19 build by Piet Warmerdam (ages ago). 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.
