Kind of norwegian Fjord in the background, or is it just aussi-land? Jan
-

Copied from the 'monumentenarchief' Beschrijving Standbeeld van Michiel de Ruyter met twee bronzen scheepskanonnen Standbeeld van Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter. (1841) door L. Royer. Hierbij opgesteld twee bronzen scheepskanonnen, gegoten respectievelijk 1617 en 1622. (which states that the guns next to Statue of De Ruyter are original ones, cast in 1617 and 1622, cast in bronze) The others are dating back to the French time I guess. (at least, they look very much like the French guns in fortresses of Den Helder and Texel. (shorter guns, thicker walls, and no decorations at all.) Jan

True, but compared to that guy with his hammock, he needs a little step to get the line belayed at the top. That's what made me wonder. Jan (PS still quoting Marquardt ? )

I think there was something names after a sint or so. Can't trace him back now..... problem is: I guess we can find it on a russian wiki-site, but I can't read those cirilic characters. Jan

Other question: I see that you rig the tackle of the backstay startting from the upper block, resulting in the running end going upwards were you belay it tot the backstay. Istn't that a bid uneasy when using: it would seem to me that strarting from the lower block results in a tackle for whcih the runnin gpart goes downward and can be secured at deck level of on the lower block.... (or isn't it the backstay tackle?) Jan

One question: will you be able to recreate these curvatures with the real wales? 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.
