    What I mean. These beams are too long and so come together on the deck. If the building description says so and you want to build it this way. Then you can do this. Actually, nobody wont say you're wrong (I certainly don't) I have been working on my GH for over 3 years now. Building a correct ship from the 16th century is almost impossible. No plans, of course no photos, only unclear drawings and some hull parts of shipwrecks. Only incorrectly built replicas.

    Rigging the Bounty
  29. Backer
    Standing rigging update Slow progress. Some parts of the rigging has been done 2 times. The first time bad, and the second time a little better. (instructions in the kit) Lower masts almost ready The hull is only 25 cm (about 10") long Thanks for following

    Looks logical. But, Planks, wales and beams are attached with : nails, bolts ,treenails And every era has its own methods The hull of a ship from the 16th century is different from a ship at the beginning of the 19th century. If it was that easy

    Great work. Very realistic.

    Thanks for the link, very interesting. I apply this method with my military models. The maximum build ever was about 10 in scratch at the same time (the Hotchkiss H35 / 39 family). More than one ship at the same time simply does not work for me. Not enough experience with ships, I think.

    A "mini" Bounty. Building two ships simultaneously is too difficult for my poor brain... So, this yard is temporarily on hold

    Great work.

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.
