    Beautiful work Michael. During my visit to Vasa I took this picture. Looks to be a simple but effective solution.

    Indeed Jan After having checked my problem a second time. The channels can be made 1.5 mm smaller without getting into trouble. So about 85cm wide to scale 1/1 Thanks,

    Thank you for explaining the "chains / channels" question. Good idea to look at channels of the Mary Rose and other ships. Turned out i have a drawing of the MR. Looking at Mary Rose I find about 65 cm. The ship with the barrels is about 75 cm My channel of 90 cm is therefore very wide. it will have to be thinner. Thanks for following and likes

    Hello Have not started building again. But I did start thinking about the next step. The places where the deadeyes and schrouds are attached. I do not know the correct English name, but in some logs they are called "chains". Strange "chain" means something very different for me in the English language?? Looking through my documentation there are several possibilities. A simple method as on the Vasa ship (early 17th century) and also applied to most Golden Hind scale models. And, an older method where multiple vertical support beams are used. The second method seems better for this time (about 1570-1580). She can also be seen on drawings by Mathew Baker. So it becomes the second method. Biggest question: how wide were these things? I find narrow and wide versions in my documentation. So first i test how wide they should be on my model, to get no problems later with the schrouds who can come against the hull. Somewhere in a log I saw this method. Ideal if you work without a plan. So we go for the wide version (no other choice) otherwise I will get into trouble later. This makes about 90 cm (3 feet) on a real ship. Reasonably wide, but it can explain how they could place barrels here that served as sanitary facilities. Thank you for following, and hopefully more updates soon.

    Indeed, a very delicate work. Am already curious about the result.

    Impressive what you do with plastic. I have been building plastic military kits for more than 30 years myself (kits, semi scratch and scratch). This is great work and really worth following.

    I found this buildlog on a Dutch forum. Impressive model. Of course with Dutch text but with nice pictures. http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/hms-victory-caldercraft-1-72.205911/ http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/hms-victory-caldercraft-1-72.205911/page-23

    Proficiat met je afgewerkt model. Congratulations on your finished model.

    Beautiful planking. I have the same idea to use Plexiglas as a base. But I have not reached that point yet. I am therefore curious about your working method and the result. Good work.

    Thanks, I'm doing my best. LOL 😂 I do not like sports. The only "sport" i do is rifle shooting (completely legal according to all Belgian laws of course!!)

    The following parts are ready and installed. From now on, the shipyard is on hold for a while. I have had pain in both arms for some time. Doctor's conclusion: tennis elbow on both arms, so rest for a while, no model building, no gardening... grrrr. Thanks for following, And it is not because the shipyard is on hold, that I will not be active on this forum

    Marius, I made holes in the hull and then glued the gunport surrounds into these holes. Then they are sanded flat with the hull. Ik maakte gaten in de romp en kleefde daar de kanonpoorten in. Daarna zijn deze mee vlak geschuurd met de romp. I glued pieces of wood behind the gunports. This method proved to be very cumbersome. Gluing pieces of plywood between the frames is much easier, and paint the inside black. You can find this method in several logs.k Ik lijmde houten blokjes achter de kanonpoorten, deze methode is zeer onhandig. Lijm stukken triplex tussen de spanten en schilder deze zwart. Je vind deze methode beschreven in verschillende bouwlogs. Normally under the waterline, the color is white. Normaal is de kleur onder waterlijn wit One of the reasons why the Vasa sank so quickly was too little depth. Eén van de redenen waarom de Vasa zonk was te weinig diepgang.

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.
