    In addition to the shop in Brussels, there is also a Chinese manufacturer called Neverland Hobby https://www.scalemates.com/de/kits/neverland-hobby-8001-das-u-boot--1510553

    Hi Marc & Marcus thanks for mentioning this book which I didn't know about. I was able to order it from Geymüller Verlag on account. Edit: The book arrived today. I think the book will help to better understand what you can see in terms of decoration in the v.d.Velde drawings of the early ships of Louis XIV. And even better, as they are better documented, are the Berain drawings of the decoration. They are reproduced in the book really clearly and true to scale in 1:75. Joerg

    source: http://marinehist.dk/MHT/1980-3-MHT.pdf I just looked at my records on the Elben/Elbe. I wasn't sure if the 1833 cannon system consistently produced all calibers only as cannons. From what I found, see above, the short 12 pounder must have been a carronade. When the ship was taken over by the Schleswig-Holstein personnel in Altona, 8 "12-pounder ball cannons" were found stored there. This probably refers to the carronades of the 1833 system.

    It's been a few years since I researched the Elbe/Elbe. I haven't come to a final conclusion about the cannons either. Another possibility besides cannons might be 12 punds lug mounted carronades, system 1833. There are surviving examples of these.

    Great work! The Elben is a nice choice for a model. This ship from my hometown (Altona is now a district of Hamburg) also belonged to the (German) Schleswig-Holstein Navy between 1848-1851, which makes the schooner really interesting for me.

    I don't know of a mixing formula for Brown Stuff. However, I followed the color scheme of an oil painting by John Cleveley, which shows the HMS Granado with this underwater color .

    Parts 26 & 27 form a belaying point. Slide part 27 from below over 26

    From the first post it is already clear that in addition to the Continental and States Navies and private privateers up to 1783, ships of the first US Navy are also of interest. The Halifax, however, belonged to the Royal Navy.

    Some more, but possibly not all, missing model kits. Alfred 1775 of the Continental Navy Gunboat Philadelphia Frigate Essex 1799 Brigg Syren 1803 and from the War of 1812 on the Lakes the Briggs Eagle and Niagara.

    I love it! I know at least one book about this daring action. The Dutch in the Medway by P.G. Rogers

    I like the model, I'm looking forward to seeing your rigging come to life. A small scale Prince but well implemented by Airfix, especially when you consider the year of manufacture, 1966, when plastic model making was still in its infancy. And I was just one year old.👶

    This yacht as we see it here on the plan is originally a reconstruction by Hoeckel of the Electorate of Brandenburg Staten Yacht, the Large (Große) or Golden (Goldene) Yacht, from 1678/79. So the Yacht has a name, but with modified decoration it can certainly also serve other states with different names.

    There don't seem to be any plans included?

    See the second Van de Velde Reine drawing in the post above. Or here as a full view. They are also visible on some other Velde drawings of French-built ships from the period, but not present on all drawings, such as the stern view of the Reine, or some other ships. Not all drawings of a ship always show all the details. But I am sure that the round openings for the hand weapons were present in the 1670s on the Reine and "presumably" also on the Soleil Royal.

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.
