    Thank you. As mentioned before, "zero" knowledge about carriers. But again, very interesting to follow this rebuild 👍

    I have zero knowledge of 20th century shipbuilding... But Funnel facing to the rear ( i think) Funnel facing forward? Taking into account the sailing direction I would think, towards the rear.

    Making a railing for the quarterdeck. Drilling all the holes for the metal pins seems excessive. But it makes for easy installation later. Clamp the parts in the vice and glue with CA. Ready Making the "overloop" (I don't think there's an English word for this). These are for attaching the main and fore sail sheets. Corel doesn't provide this for the fore sail. So, no room. Too far forward Or in the mast So, the mast needs to be moved aft... Work in progress. Railing in place (and the main sail "overloop"). The renovated deck on the cabin is also ready Fore sail "overloop" in place.

    Cannon production Step 1: prototype Step 2: carriages painted and barrels in place Step3: ready for last painting Step 3 ready I didn't like the first method of planking in this area. So I cut the 2mm planks from the kit to 1mm. And planked again.

    There is indeed no support on the rear side. A brand new replica leeboard on the rear side. And years later during a maintenance, you see also no supports on the port side leeboard. It is possible that the separate pieces were held together with one or more long bolts, don't now.

    Further continuation, Toothpicks are for a stronger hold Channels The model is lifted up for each eyebolt to test for proper attachment (test passed six times). Painted Leeboard attachment painted The cannon production line Need on some cleening And some pictures from the exhibition in Amsterdam, last Saturday https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZsUupvtHr4EuuigN7

    There are regulations for the thickness of ropes on Dutch ships from this period. But I haven't found any records of these ropes. I was in Amsterdam last Saturday at the Maritime Museum and took this photo there. Too thin is better than too thick, I think.

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.
