    btw, will you follow the newest insights on her colour at Trafalgar, or will yours be Vic as all people born before the year 2000 will remeber her? Jan

    Hi danny, Looks like a lot of work. Are you ging to replace those famous plastic blocks with better looking ones, or did you decide they fit in with the general appearance of the model? Jan
  4. amateur
    No, it is a temporary replacement of a wheel. (To be nailed over the gun ale, in case the wheel iis damaged through enemy fire) Your. 1:100 version has no way to nail it as shown in the book the only thing I wonder: assume a wheel is shot away during battle, how on earth do you nail such a thing under a gun truck, while a heated 3tons heavy gun is on that truck, and enemy fire is all around? And the bok is very nice (its a pity that google does not scan the fold-out pages properly...) reading those books you can not but conclude that re-using pictures of other people was very common in earlier days. Quite a lit of pictures from this book are very familiar fromother books.... Jan

    Give me some time, reading three such volumes, without knowing what to lookfor, may cost some time Jan

    I got Wimmel I agree, you did in fact invent it. Jan

    Rather cryptic I see two sailors, one sitting on a chest (with those two halve wheels behind his back), looking in his open chest, holding something on which a hook is attached. Or is the hookthingy held by the standing sailor? Also: I don't recognise the traylike thing the sitting sailor has on his lap. And: I don' know neither Wimmel nor Röding.... Jan

    Hello Dan, Congatulations on another very well executed build!! one question (perhaps you already explained somewhere): how did you actually form those hanging rope coils (esp the loop it hangs on)? Jan

    .....I'm afraid I need a hint to understand the hint

    Although, i guess, it is contemporary, and documented somewhere.....

    you're going to build a sled for one of the guns Jan

    OK, two half wheels that arde not really to become wheels (how inattentive of me: they never could be: they have a square hole in the middle ) second guess: something to prevent a running heavy cable to do any harm? Jan

    Why did the minions split a wheel of a guncarriage in two halves? Jan

    Can you give the link to this chapman personal collection (I have the ANM-link, but the other would be very nice also...) Jan

    My guess would be that the planking will hold it all together, besides: there is no paper between the keel and the frames. Jan
  18. amateur
    Afterwards, you can plank this half-hull, and it will certainly be a very decorative piece on the wall of your workshop Jan
  19. amateur
    You can even ask yourself the qeustion whether or not there would have been any strict planking scheme.... Jan

    This is the parrel set-up of a ship build by a guy on a dutch forum. He knows quite a lot on these mediterranean ships, si I'm inclined to say that this is correct: a simple parrel, with the running part through a dpliced eye on the other end. no blocks at all. Jan
  21. amateur
    I suggest that you rename uour post: something like Question on rigging a chebec That will attract more attention than a rather vague "need help" I van't answer your question: i have no knowledge of these ships. Btw: the model looks quite well build. Jan
  22. amateur
    That looks verypromissing! Jan

    In your profile is a notification-option: notify mewhen someone replies on a topic i follow. (Either by notification, or by email). As you follow this topic, that option would be my first suspect for the mails. Jan

    That's a great lantern (although, I guess that it's rather small ) Jan

    I thought the marines and the guncrews where strictly separated groups? You show them as a part of the guncrew, but who is manning the tops during battle when the marines are running out and aiming the great guns? 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.
