Hi Guys, Here's some details of the carvings, still some decisions to make but I'm closing in on the final result: for scale refference: The signil in the middel, it;s he one of Middelburg where the original was build I finally decided that the things they are holding must be shells of some sort: Have fun, Michiel

you should have a look at once upon a time, in reality peter pan is much more creepy than you can imagine . A lot of Jolly Rodger in that series. Best, Michiel

nice, did you also considder the packed version of the sails? -
just another question about your casting. Why the solder tin? because of the melting temperature? I'm also planning to cast my barrels... Thanks, Michiel

HMS Druid by Krug - FINISHED - 1:48 - Hahn

nice trick. -
Thanks for the contribution guys, at least now the question is reduced to wether the pw had bronze or iron guns, not clear at the moment. for now I'll assume bronze. here's my first attempt at carving them: I assume that by leaving the opening closed by a thin wall, so that the silicone will not completely encircle the handles I will actually be able to cast them... If someone as has a reason to beleave other wise please let me know ;-) Best, Michiel

I decided, mainly based on the excellent examples I've seen here to cast the gun barrels from Tin using silicon moulds. with this I also decided that I should than also add all the details. This brings me to the dolphin shaped handles on top. Some barrels have them some don't. The books on the seven provincien all feature them. However all the barrels I know from my birth town Vlissingen, like these: don't but than again: these does to make it more complicated the drawings from the Adelaar wreck: show them only on the 6 pounder... So I'm trying to decide wether the barrels that have been present on the Prins Willem would have had them and other decoration, or if they would have been as smooth as some of the barrels above. If any of you has some deep insights please enlighten me…. Best, Michiel (ps the original PW model did not have guns, at least they did not survive…. )

Last weekend I made some more progress on the guns for the main dek: Fabrication of the axes: A final sanding and painting of the rolpaarden: Mounting the axes and a first dry fit: they seem to line up at the correct hight, I've seen the go wrong in a lot of first scratch builds... Now there is still a whole bunch of fittings to be made. And casting the barrels. Have fun, Michiel

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.
