    I'm following with interest. Still contemplating my possibilities is such a model (Although greatly hindered by lack of space, and lack of powertools, not to mention time.....) Jan

    All roads?

    Do they have to be working, or just 'cosmetic'? I did some hinges, using just using ordinary white paper, painted black. (yes, closed ports.....) Jan

    Ithought so. Time flies when you' re having fun

    But he still needs the upper gundeck before the masts can be stepped...... And considering he is only into his fourth (?) year for the lower gundeck, I 'm not sure whether we normal mortals will see this beautiful ship fully rigged..... Jan

    I never had white pva glue fractured. It remains slughtly pliable for quite some time. Sounds like bad ju ju.... Jan

    file, caliper, and some eyeballing (but I'm not an expert ) Works fine as long as there are not too many yards. The drill didn't work for me: problems with centering en getting the whole thing stable. Jan

    Hi Marcus, Some ofthese ships had a second (small) mast set up, like the haringbuis. Mainly to help them keeping position while at work. Notvery common on these ships, though.... Jan

    This one, for instance You see the typical design of the bomschuit: it is like a box... They were designed to get ashore at high tide, so that they could be unloaded and serviced at low tide. This because many of the fishing villages at the northsea did not have a harbour (completely impossible to dug a harbour in the flat sandy beaches. Jan

    Could you be slightly more specific? Ship, kit, scale, problem you have so far..... Jan

    I checked on the internet, it is different: the model is only showing the inside! Great model to look at when finished! Jan

    Airships are also ships Question: the drawings show the construction as build (the framework of the body, the ribs in the wings, with the cut-outs to keep the weight low) Is the kit also 'as build', or is it only showing the outside of the plane as it was? Jan

    That's a serious drop in quality..... Areal shame. Unlessthis is tobe used to plank the inside of the hull (which it isnot, i presume) you have an issue there. Jan

    You mean you never break the tip by letting it go down on the floor? (Or did you just by an increadible amount of those things in 1984. ) Jan
  15. amateur
    Did you made up your mind with respect to rhe paintjob? Jan

    Hi Daniel, What is the size of the Statenjacht? (My memory says I asked before, but I cant find the answr....) Jan

    Hi Greg, i already suspected this type of modelling is not my cup of tea. Now I know for sure Thanks for sharing your techniques! Jan

    Lookimg at the last picture: this area has been repainted, bur it looks as if two portholes were missing before the last repaint. Or are these two recent damage? Jan

    That will be a massive model... Jan

    In the cross sections drwan of the hollandisvhe zweidecker, you can see that there is no need for ventilatipn: these orts are on the same deck as the windows. Above. Also you can see they are in exactly the same height above deck as the ports in the side. These ports are intended as gunports. Jan

    Definitely somerhing to discuss with the owner. with the finnels you decided to go back to the 'asbuild', so why not here? Jan
  22. amateur
    Those ports are in the main cabin, located on the upper gundeck. Well above the waterline. The size of the ports is about the same as the size of the gunports in the side of the upper gundeck, so, yes, it would fit..... Jan

    Are you sure these are not for guns? I thought they were namrd 'retraitepoorten' used the same way the chaseports were used. Jan
  24. amateur
    And with respect to your second question: rigging the stay before the shroulds: is it bad? Depends, when you want to be historically accurate, it is bad. Very bad indeed On a more technical point of view: I don't think it can do much harm. But: as far as I can see there is no advantage of rigging the stay before the shrouds, so why not doing it in the 'historically correct' way? 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.
