    After grinding, ready with this part of the job. Dražen

    Some correction was needed. Due to relaxation of the plywood after cutting (in the very beginning), the shape of the ship moved for approx 1.5mm. Dražen

    In the meantime, I had a water ingress in the cellar. The tables were damaged but the ship did not get any harm. Dražen

    I am first using chisel to remove rough excess of material. Dražen

    I am painting the bulkheads in black for easy/safe control when grinding later on. Dražen

    the hull is ready - nearly.... Can you recognize here the De Zeven Provincien? Dražen

    ... adding the wood to fill in the shape of the ship... Dražen

    The ship will stand on two massive screws covered by a piece of wood, so we need a construction to hold it securely. Dražen
  15. Drazen
    ... and also the places for the masts... Dražen
  16. Drazen
    ... making wood to fill in the places between the bulkheads. I will have a more or less solid hull as a base for planking. Dražen
  17. Drazen
    ... bulkheads on place. Please note that I have several horizontal ones at the places of strong curvature to control the shape easier.. Dražen

    ... templates which I used to make bulkheads and later on to check the ship line. Dražen

    ... and here the construction built together Dražen

    Making construction which is going to hold the model... Dražen

    Making bulkheads... (Oh dear, this is my old fret saw. Now I am happy to have/use a Hegner Multicut 2 - a great machine indeed) Dražen

    My plans are not from the Rijksmuseum or by Dik, but I use the recent plans from the replica in Lelystad. They are quite different from the plans Dik made. Here you see the checking/correcting some drawings. Dražen

    ... than, before iI start with my build, i post few photos from the ship my friend Mile Bijelić made. Well, I hope to be not to far from the quality of the model, but, let's see... (Mile is the guy in blue shirt, I am on the left - the ship is the HMS Prince 1670, 1:70, won gold last year on World championship) Dražen

    I will post here some historic paintings for people who do not know the ship and please you to read about it's history/facts in e.g. Vikipedia. ... also a photo of a model made by Herbert Tomaesen and a prortrait of admiral Michiel Andriaszoon de Ruyter who was commanding this ship. Dražen

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.
