    Good idea to start with a small model. Greetings, and welcome to MSW

    Very nice work Fabio. In the 15th and early 16th centuries, there were indeed few ships that had a figurehead. And if they had one, then this was minimal and small.

    Thanks for the nice comments. I actually wanted to make wooden spoked wheels. In plastic this was possible, but in wood this was beyond my skills. Meanwhile : Backer is busy painting on the house A nice view from a height of about 8 meters

    Hello, And
  8. Baker
    Thanks Marcus After a few weeks of silence, a very short update (it is currently a little to hot to do anything) I finally succeeded in making one cannon (after a few failures) I'm going to make another identical cannon to place in the forecastle. A construction method of this second cannon will follow later. Unpainted cannon painted cannon Thanks for following

    There are no dumb questions about this topic The piece looks way too big. Are you sure this is the right piece on the right place? planking info : http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php

    Hopefully this info will help you further, The lengths and widths of the planks varied during this period More info can be found in my log of the Golden Hind (approximately from post 50) Following the information found the planks were 4.2 to 5.2 meters long The average thickness is 7 cm The width varied between 36 and 48 cm The widest planks were located at the bottom of the hull Greetings, Patrick

    Thanks for yhe nice words. thanks. And yes, building these 2 canons will be a challenge.

    Hello everyone, Update. Grooves are made in the channels. marking with a pencil I think (hope) that they are big enough. To bring some life into the model varied personal items will be added. "Bags" of crew members, small barrels, a crate with material for each cannon and a crate with ammunition for the present cannons. Gunpowder was not stored near the cannons for safety reasons. An example how it could be Bags are of wood and tissue. Barrels of wood and rope Crates an varied ammunition Cannons (3) are placed. I still have to make 1 cannon. This will be a different type, Current state Thanks for following

    Thanks We have a large garden. Nice, but sometimes with a little too much maintenance work before I glue the cannons on the rearcastle. It is probably best that first make grooves in the channels where the deadeyes come. The intention is to get something like this. As is quite the case with this build, I first had absolutely no idea about what, how much and where to place them. So first i have to find out what we are going to do. On average there are 6, 7 or 8 deadeyes for the main mast. At the beginning of the 17th century there were apparently already rules to determine the length of the masts. But i obtained confusing results with this method. I continue with a sketch by Mathew Baker. this gives : the length of the lower part of the main mast is 1.77 times the beam. The "test mast" With improvised standing rigging (8 deadeyes). This setup seems ok to me. She will stay that way for the time being (i think about it first and then make the grooves in the channels) to be continued

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.
