    This is accumulated progress during quite some months. Putting all the treenails was quite a job. I ll try to post a bit more.

    Slowly moving towards full treenailing on port side. Two new ports added as well and the final row of timbers. Still 4 more small ports to add on this side. Afterwards I ll turn her around and continue on that side.
  23. Michiel
    Here's the full process. Hope you'll find is instructive. The final step involves line seed oil. It cleans the fine dust and brings the detail out. Enjoy the evening

    As you can see the density of nails is about three timed higher in the upper parts as below. I decided the density in the upper part is what it should actually be so at the moment I am about to add hundreds more.... any opinions?
  25. Michiel
    Some more finishing on the planking. Probably easier to do this before the decorations of the galley. Those two parts with no nails are to be ports. But I'll wait with cutting them until the deck behind is in place to have them properly aligned.
  26. Michiel
    This one is now getting close. It lost one eye unfortunately but that can be fixed.
  27. Michiel
    Far from finished carvings but it's a start in working a bit on the ship again. New house, new job, children....

    Have a look here for you own 3d printing: https://i.materialise.com/en they print over 20 materials and have a list of not to complicated free programs to make you own designs. You can just upload you file. They print and send it to you. I printed my gun barrels there including the VOC logo and dolphins. I made the design of the barrel myself. A lighting cover should not be too difficult. I guess some may think 3d printing is not ship modeling but, when you are building a kit and replacing some part by improved prints that are at the moment still just beyond your skill level I don't see a problem. For me I could turn one of those barrels but by number 4 I get bored with the repetitive job. All the other carving I do by hand though.. Hope it helps, Michiel

    just try, it is not so difficult. The carving of faces on 4x5 mm is much more challenging nailfiles are also vey usefull tools

    I fear I don't have any how to pictures ... but I guess you get the picture. Start with a piece of stock that is the size you need file the top shape and narrowing in the middel between the top and bottom plate. then very small drills very small files etc...

    the first page has the link to led.de where I got mine. I can't find the super small ones there any more. If you want to go < 3mm best use ones that come with wires attached for instance https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/C0603R-20pcs-Pre-soldered-micro-0-1mm-Copper-Wired-RED-SMD-Led-0603-NEW/32386778032.html http://www.digitrains.co.uk/ecommerce/electronics/leds/nanolight-micro-led-bicolour-red---white---6-pack.aspx http://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/WHITE_LEDs.html etc... edit: sorry I only read half. you will not find the covers online... ;-) let me look up the link

    Hi Ken, lovely build. Just one thing I don't really get, maybe it's perspective but it looks as if your deck, in particular the line the hatch covers follow, is convex. Which would make a lot of sense on many ships but not if you want to stack containers on top of them. cheers, Michiel

    Nice... Did you consider putting lights in? It seems you don't plan tom but it may still be early enough ;-) cheers,

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.
