    Hello Louie, I'am a native speaker (german), too. But in this case it's difficult for me. Nevertheless from the old low-german dialect, the phrase "sie haffen stund" could mean "they where waiting", oder "they were standing (watching, etx.)". The phrase "so al von den turken skafft" could mean "bought from the turkish", "got from the turkish", "it was al brought / bought by the turkish". Looking at the drawing, I'am not sure if this word really writes "skafft". The first letter could also be someting else than "s". Maybe we have someone here with proper knowledge in medeavial

    Thanks Steven. @ chuck: I'am glad there are quite a few experts on this forum. Unfortunately I'am a chemist not a historian. One more tip - in "middle low german" the word "kraweel" was commonly used, especially in the period of the hanseatic league. "Krewaal" was used also, but it is less common. Another point: The phrase "hanseatic cog" (Hansekogge) is often used in common language as an generic term for all types of ships of this era. Götz

    Thanks Steven and druxey and the others for all the likes. Hopefully the next update will go a little faster, but there's only 24h a day. Götz

    After a few month of silence, here's another update. Finished the rails on the forecastle. Next were the two ladders. I did not take pictures of the work in progress, sorry. Small parts will be next.
  27. goetzi73
    A really good approach. 👍 Your build log ist full of smart ideas like this. Greetings, Götz

    Hi Steven, I think you are right. A major problem in academic research is indeed, that some people often do not accept any new aspect or ideas, etc. Often these are the "old masters". It seems to me this can become a problem at a certain stage of their reputation, when some researchers think they are in general superior to others. Can also be a problem of getting "mentally old" (not physical). This can be frustrating, especially for young researchers starting their academic career. Götz

    Thanks!

    Happy new year everyone! An unusual update (in order to avoid someones deleting my log for inactivity...): At the moment my spare time goes into cabinet making. I have to finish some projects at home. Here's a shelf rack for music sheets: I like working with hand tools - like my grandfather did, he was an organ builder. The "downside" is a slower progress. During the next weeks I have to finish some woodworking in the kitchen... and then "back to the shipyard". So long, Götz

    Looks great! Götz

    Hello everyone, time for a "micro-update" or just a proof that this log is still alive. Didn't habe much time for working in the shipyard. I've finished the stancions for the reling of the forecastle. Quite a lot of work filing each piece by hand. Also had to make an inlet for my router. Quite time consuming, but every piece is in one box now. That's it for today. Götz

    Hello Everyone, it's time for a small update. Finished the deck planking of the forcastle. Work keeps me quite busy. And my wife has a lot of things to do for me around the house. This will result in a significant reduction of "ship-modelling-time-amount". Sorry for the bad quality of the photo. My camera does not work properly, don't know why.

    Nice work Nils. Your hand plane looks interesting. I'am using different sizes of hand planes for woodworking at home, and also for ship modelling. It's essential that you keep the blade sharp - very sharp. Using a simple waterstone gives good results. As your plane has no mouth, it may happen that you cut all the way through the wood. Veritas or Lee Nielsen have good hand planes (also small ones, good for modelling), but they are far to expensive in Germany. Maybe you look at "dictum.de" or "feinewerkzeuge.de" for more information. Grüße in den Kreis Stormarn

    Hello everyone! Time for the next update. Rope Coils underneath the forecastle deck were finished, Planking of the forecastle deck can be started now. Railing of the rear castle finished. Made from square stock (swiss pear) and walnut. A tedious work making them all fit properly. Here's an overall view. It looks more and more like a ship That's all folks (my son was watching woody w. on TV)..., Götz

    thanks Steven, and everone for all the "linkes". My skills are improving during this build. It will help making the next ship model a lot better. Thanks for following, Götz

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.
