    The PDF inspires you so much that you immediately want to build a ship from the 17th century. Thanks for that !

    Hello! The kit comes from Korabel, see Korabel , and is available.

    Hi! A new book entitled French Warships in the Age of Steam 1859–1914 by Winfield will be published soon. That could bring new insights.

    I forgot, one more point that might be interesting. According to Patrick Villiers, this figure is part of the Atlas de Colbert from about 1670.

    Hi there , nice to look at as always. This link should be of interest to you. It leads to high-resolution files of the rear and rear side view of the Dauphin Royal by Le Brun. Have Fun!

    Moin Waldemar! The term Iron refers to the gun barrel. At the time, a decision was made between iron and bronze guns, the latter being referred to as "metal" guns.

    Hello, this model of a Norman Nef in the Deutsches Museum in Munich was built by Zimmermann after his own reconstruction. https://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Deutsches_Museum_Muenchen/Norman-nef.htm

    Hello Steven, interesting project, I like to watch it. By the way, there is a German reconstruction of the Nef Cinque ports. I have them on the shelf. I'm looking forward to your reconstruction.

    Here are two contemporary representations of artists who knew the ships. Left: Grand Monarque by Puget Right: Reine by van de Velde

    Another piece of art fits in like a cast. Berain would be delighted!

    Hello Marc, I take off my hat to your dedication and skills.

    @Jaager Thank you for creating the plan list. Is very helpful.

    Good find Wayne. Found them here by title. https://www.history.navy.mil/research/publications/publications-by-subject/peculiar-skill.html https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/nhhc/research/publications/publications-by-subject/sea-stories.html

    A well-considered and neat elaboration of this difficult part.
  15. Chapman
    The book isn't really new. The first edition is from 1985, but difficult to get. I am happy about the new edition, especially about the plan edition because I already have the first edition book. This part goes into the history of individual ships in detail. Such as the sister ship of the Hermione, the La Concorde. I think it's very interesting.

    I like your inspiring building reports. I'm curious how you do the oil canning on a dazzle paint ship.
  17. Chapman
    I understand, but it seems that this detail is only shown on the Louis XV model. The model has apparently been restored according to the paint. What I want to say. We do not know whether the model still corresponds to the original appearance. Also, unlike the British, these toilet / roundhouses do not seem to have caught on with the French. Lemineurs Le Saint-Philippe -1693 could serve as a reference here too, I think. Personally, I also find these bunker-like toilets terrible, they also don't seem to fit the style to me.
  18. Chapman
    Hello Marc! The round bunker-like toilet houses on the small deck: I have not yet been able to find on any drawing of French ships of the time. I suspect Heller and the museum model are incorrect here. What do you think about it?
  19. Chapman
    I am also German, but this old language is difficult to read if you haven't studied it in detail. So I looked for a translation of the original. And the travel description was translated into standard German. https://books.google.de/books/about/Von_Konstanz_nach_Jerusalem.html?id=dDOVrgEACAAJ&redir_esc=y Unfortunately I don't have the book, but maybe someone can help.

    I think the kit is inspired by the model construction from Casa Reyna. This plan is given as a 1: 150 scale and shows a Spanish ship named Carmen. The real scale of this plan is more like 1/90.
  21. Chapman
    Or look at this unknown french Premier Rank .
  22. Chapman
    Hello! From the Album Colbert the arrangement as it should have looked around 1660/70. Funny & important detail, the fence around the slot.
  23. Chapman
    Thank you guys, I didn't have the building report on the radar. I'll take a look over there.
  24. Chapman
    Thank you for the photo, the gun looks as dangerous as it was.
  25. Chapman
    Frolick you are right, of course Sirius ex Berwick, my mistake. That naturally explains the early carronades. I would have found it almost more exciting if it had been the Mauritius Sirius.

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.
