    On a dutch forumsomeone has been experimenti g with this method. It took himsome time to get it right. Planking always runsfair, however, getting your hullinto shape is not without problems. Shell first was not used anymore in the lqte 17th century when ships like utrecht were build. By that time the shipwrights used drawings and plans to be able todeliver what was actually ordered. Jan

    My guess would be that thickness is completely determined by the carpenter, while length and width are determined by the tree. therefore, i think the deck was quite even in this respect. At least, that is what you see in eg wasa. Jan

    Nice! How did you het those colours so nice? They are not just out of the can revell-colours, it looks as if you did some aging and weathering on them. Jan

    Typo? a bowsprit of 2 milimeter is a bit short. I guess that should be something like 645 mm? Jan

    Looks nice. One question: what kind of heavy beam is it you attached to the stern, just below the upper stern? Jan

    The remaining question is: how do you simulate screws in such a way that they look better than real ones? Jan

    On that last picture, there is a part on the lower counter i don't understand: is the planking rabetted into the sides of the lower counter, or is theresome kind of strip attached over the planking to give strength/protection. Jan

    Hi Herbert, Per haps Chuck does understand, but I don't.... Do you mean that there shouldn't be three holes every second face, but alternating one and two holes? Chuck's setup matches this one from the NMM-collections. Jan

    Which btw is correctly mentioned in the German text to the picture. Low-board gunbopats are not realyy fitted for large open waters. Germany has not a very long coastline. So, where were these ships stationed? , Nord- und Ostsee? Jan

    We know you by now: you decide before you speak out. So I'm pretty sure you're not going to change your mind I like the black/red scheme. The blue is too blue for me. Jan

    I was wondering the other dimension: when she is fully rigged how long will her main mast be? 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.
