    NOt an answer but a question in return: Do you have belaying pins in your kit? Jan
  2. amateur
    But part(s) of them were destroyed

    Two or three names? Jan

    OK, narrowing down: Tribal class? Jan

    I very much doubt whether Doris uses material that has to be ironed on.... I thought she uses self-adhesive materials. Jan

    She's a destroyer, but I guess that's not enough for you Jan

    Nice model of a nice ship. One question: why do you refer to her as a flyboat? I thought these ships were called yachts.? Jan

    Found it on the internet a couple of years ago. Has been my desktop-background ever since. The pic was taken one of the times Batavia was out on the Markermeer to do some sail-trials. Hence the somewhat strange sailsettings (Mains set without the topsails, normal practice was the other way round) Jan

    Perhaps you could be somewhat more specific? Is it the (non)metric-problem, the Italian (or lack of english), reading the plans as such, or a kit-specific problem? Jan
  10. amateur
    No, I did some picture-searching in my luch-break, and Batavia has the braces belayed inside the gallion, on both sides (at least on th epic I use as my screensaver, klick for full screen, it's a really large picture) Jan

    Why do these guys never tell you how many part are coming? I thought under European law they had to give full information on total costs over the full package.... Jan

    Yes Remco, We know you would go for six-sided bolts on the flanges It looks to me as the difficulty of this scale: what details do you incorporate and wich not: even the smaller details seem to be (or actually are) feasible, but were does to much detail destroy the overall effect..... So far: can't have enough of the detail Jan

    Flower-corvette for sure, but why this one should be easy is not clear to me..... Ja

    ON the yard, there should be an end of rope with a single block. After 'returning to the shrould, the rrope is belayed on the gallion (or sometimes shown: a block on the bowsprit, and then on the railing of the forecatle. I'll check my pic;s of Batavia. Unfortunatedly, I don't have pics that show where exactly the braces are belayed in the gallion... Jan

    OK, I'll change my initial reaction: I don't see hints, even when they are there for everyone to see Still not a clue. A number of helpless caualties, in a cargo ship, but not a torpedo-victim. Rapid sinking of an evacuee-ship? Jan

    SS Norlandia, perhaps (although, she had a rather 'normal' war-ending, due to a torpedo..... and not too much casulaties) Jan
  17. amateur
    Sorry, but you seem to see hints where there are none Jan
  18. amateur
    But no cars ? Jan
  19. amateur
    Sure looks good. btw: your workbench shows a wide area of interests Jan
  20. amateur
    I presume it's not: too many related words on the old continent look very much alike this famous four letter word. Jan
  21. amateur
    which suggest a WWI torpedo victim..... Jan
  22. amateur
    It looks a bit like "SS Regel Carol I" (apart form the fact that it has two in stead of one funnels....) Should we look around the Donau?? Jan
  23. amateur
    A year ago you started this log with
  24. amateur
    I don't know how your ship looks like, but in mine all braces are attached to the stays, and part of the lifts are belayed on the shrouds. No way to get the running rigging before the standing rigging. Jan

    Thanks. 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.
