Welcome, and greetings from Belgium

Hello, Started with re-making the wrongly made pieces. The same method has been used to make them. The discs are made of plastic. After painting, the discs are mounted without glue. The hole is now also being drilled trough the discs. That way I drill in the center of the disk. And secured with a brass pin. Extra detail painted and ready for assembly. The height ratio of the piece to the model and the size of my assistant is much better now. To be continued. Thanks for following.

Thanks steven. The average length of a man in the 16th century may have been 160 cm. 160 cm : 45 = 3.6 cm to scale

Hello, I made these pieces last week. Everything looked good, but I felt something was wrong. I made the pieces too big. They are not in proportion to the model. I also discovered that my cherry wood is not suitable for this application. The wood differs too much in color So redo. Better and smaller next time

At home now and looking on my computer (big screen) instead on my small smartphone. If this is your first plank. Then you can get into trouble on your forecastle and maybe on your rearcastle On the Dusek drawings this plank stops on the forecastle and not on the bow. (Dusek drawing is from the dusek website) ps Nice planking on the stern

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.
