    Dear Chuck,

    I believe I did it again.

    Since a couple of weeks I am not able any more to find my log 'Ostends schipje - Ostend shrimper' in the  build Logs for SCRATCH SHIP MODEL PROJECTS. This probably due to some wrong action of me while updating the log. The received error code is: 'You do not have permission to view this content. Error code: 2F173/K'. 

    Is it possible to restore my log.

    My apologie for the caused trouble.

      Chuck,

       

      There is a build log over on SoS for a model of the HMS Enterprize by CAF Model.  CAF Model is on the list of banned kits, so I have no intentions of purchasing that kit. However, I am curious about the original manufacturer.  Do you know anything about it?

    Dear administrator,

    While updating my log 'Oostends schipje-Ostend shrimper' I lost access to my log. Probably by a wrong action. The error code is 2F173/K. Can it be resolved?

     

    Lots of thanks,

    Congratulations, Mehmet. A model with character!

    Patrick, My congratulations for the nice hull you made al ready. Your build is well-considered and every step you made is based on study of a lot of documentation. It is a pity that the project is going to dead-slow for a while. I will be watching for further progress. G.L.

    Dag Kees, Just discovered your new build. That is the type of ship that I like. I sign me in to follow this project. Greetings, G.L.

    Barsik will have a lot of fun when the ship will be rigged!

    Hello YankeeD, I just discovered your Zeven Provinciën. The model is very impressive and the pictures are most explanatory. By this, you have a new follower. Met vriendelijke groeten, G.L.

    Very nice model, Mehmet. I like very much the way how you paint and weather it without exaggerating. I am looking forward to see the finished model. Lots of regards, G.L.

    Hello Kees, I just admired the pictures of your beam trawler KW 88. Really a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Also the night-views with full lighting are staggering. I really look forward to see your next project growing. Prachtig werk, proficiat! G.L.

    Sounds very familiar. G.L.

    Hello Mehmet, I would leave it as it is. It looks like it is a genuine langoustier. many regards, G.L.

    Patrick, What kind of wood do you use for the planking? G.L.

    Tony, Beautiful cross section! I like also the base. Thank you very much for sharing your building experiences in such a clear way. I hope your next build will be the Brixham trawler Valerian because one of my future projects , when my Triton cross section will be completed, will probably be a cross section of a Lowestoft smack.

    The lower deck after being tree nailed. In the front there is a small widening of the planking where the ladder to the gun deck has to come.
  16. G.L.
    The midship plank will not be pine, but oak because she will have to bear the gun deck stanchions.
  17. G.L.
    To make it easier to determine where I will have to drill for the tree nails afterwards, I mark the locations of the deck beams with a pencil after laying each plank.
  18. G.L.
    The after end of the cross section is not bound by a deck beam. To assure that the deck planks will have the correct length, I clamp a wooden lath on the after frame.
  19. G.L.
    I use pine planks for the decks. I searched for the planks with the finest grains that I dispose of. To imitate the caulking between the planks, I glue strips of 220 gram black paper on the edge of each plank.
  20. G.L.
    Now I lay the planks of the lower deck. For this I use the deck pattern as described in the book 'Historic ship models' by zu Montfeld.

    Pete and Christian, Thanks for the comments.

    Patrick, Your hull looks very smooth. G.L.

    Hey Tony, Maybe the book: 'From tree to sea' could be a help for you. It is written by late Ted Frost, a former wooden ship builder from Lowestoft. He discribes the building of a wooden steam trawler. It is a book with plenty of detailed images. (ISBN 0 86138 033 9) Geert

    I make now the main topsail sheet bitts. I think that the pictures are self explaining. I made the bitts sheaves in the same way as Tony (Tkay11) explained in his post 50 with the big difference that I made them of wood (I have no metal lathe). My pictures of the production process of the seaves are to unsharp to post them. I will wait to fix the bitts until a later stage.

    Once the glue is dry, I can sand down the lower deck.

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.
