    Does it help to browse the NMM_collection in Greenwich? Some of the models have the swivel posts installed. Warship (1741); Sixth rate; Sloop; 24 guns | Royal Museums Greenwich (rmg.co.uk) (at least, I think those six posts on the poop are swivel posts) Or have a look at Chucks Winnie: Syren Ship Model Company|Boxwood ship model rigging blocks|Ship Model rigging rope |turned brass cannon| Chuck Passaro Jan

    Nope, google picture search killed the game…. Jan

    Hi Valery, I don't know whether it has been asked earlier, but do you build your models in commission, do you offer them for sale after finishing, or is this 'only' for your own fun? It is certainly great joy for us watching this magnificent model grow. Jan

    How long does the pressire-cartridge last? Jan

    Don't think it is useful to continue this thread: Peter's first post dates 2018, his total post-count is 2, and his last visit to MSW was early 2020..... The 3D pictures are parts from shapeways: Ships - Shapeways Miniatures Not a kit, but parts you can use to upgrade your own scratch model Jan

    Thanks: the version my shop sells is labelled 'heavy', so I think I can deduce which is which Jan

    With respect to the EZ-line: Do you use the thin (0.25mm) or the "thick" (0.5 mm) version? Jan

    Or he needs starting a very large, very complicated model with lots of tiny parts, so that he is busy at least three weeks. Having said that: actually I like these slightly less complicated models more than the very complicated ones: they have the looks and feel of a good model, and they are not afraid of showing that they are made of paper.

    We all got that time-out message. As usual: the mods told us what was going on as soon as they were aware of the problem. As soon as the site is down, the facebook-page of MSW is their way of communicating with us. Jan

    Blinking with my eyes, and you’re half done already. looking good Jan

    Sometimes I wonder why there are not more model kits of these type of ships. They are so beautiful. Apparently kit makers (and buyers) prefer another victory over a cruiser like this. (I know, there is quite a lot out there in the plastic/resin-world, but that is way outside my skillset, as is scratch building one of these beauties) Jan

    Somewhere in Edt's log of young america there is a jig for that last method. Couldn't find it, but also works very well. Jan

    Surely there are some polish speaking people around here? Jan

    Make a copy, and try before you cut the real thing? Jan

    Got it. I checked pastors again, but there is no indication of a fixation at the lower end of the pole. (Also not in the other pictures) My guess is as good as yours.... Jan

    The AL-picture shows something that I think is in line with Pastors book: a fixed pole, secured to the lower mast. I think you get a very realistic looking model when you take Javier Pastors books (page 86 shows the shrouds) Given the small amount of sail that should do. Also, as there is almost no sail to that mast, there is/was no need to have shroulds on that top-mast. (according to Pastros reconstruction, but also according to others). Jan

    Reminds me…. Hope you have a more elegant solution. Jan

    Took me some time to find the gallery on my mobile Getting old as well.... Jan

    Which is not there when using the mobile-layout, or at least not as obvious as this) In mobile-mode, it is only available in the menu (upper right corner) Jan

    Impressive! I know it is part of the fun, but it is a shame that alll thise frames and deck structures are disappearing behind the outer skin Jan

    The military museum n Soesterberg still has one in the collection. (The emblem in colour) Rather noisy things, those f15s, flying low above the surrounding villages (and never alone. Teacher had to stop talking when they were flying over, and the windows were trembling ... ) Jan

    I think much more, about 40-50 centimeters? Jan

    Maritiemdigitaal is next to useless. Even if you succeed in finding what you are looking for the quality of both picture and description is almost always insufficient. Jan

    Not only the printing is clever. The glueing trick also deserves to be remembered Jan

    Side view and waterlines of a small frigate Section drawn by Sturckenburg (I could only find the redrawn version of Otte Blom) Could only find a book-copy of the third drawing I never heard of any other drawings at the Maritime miseum, nor did I see any pictures of such drawings. Would be very interesting to know whether there exist any other drawings. 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.
