    Greetings from Belgium

    Started with the beakhead, I use old drawings as an example for the outside of the bow. For the inside (deck) a photo of the Batavia replica. On most ships of this periode are ther no ropes on the bowsprit (about 80% without and 10% with). These ropes are therefore not applied on the model. The fore mast is in front of the forecastle, as can be seen on most ships of this time, an underlay for deck planks has already been installed here. This drawing is one of the very few examples where the mast is in the fore castle (bad example !). A first test Construction and painting Thanks for following and likes, Build index on page one

    The balcony is finished (Finally) I had underestimated the time and work required for this work... I made a crown in plastic to place above the rose And did not like this. So, the crown was removed again. Supports for awnings are also provided. Suppo Thanks for following and likes, Build index on page one

    Welcome to the wonderful world of wooden ship model building. You will have "ups and dows" while building your model. Always remember the "ups" and learn from the downs

    Balcony, work in progress. One opening of the balcony is too narrow for 2 planks and and too wide for one plank. so why not do something special here and add a Tudor rose (Historically probably totally wrong, but a nice challenge to do ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose So far so good, and now i am trying to make a crown for on top of the rose Thanks for following

    Tomorrow getting a six pack of beer and next week go to the neighbor across the street, with the 6 pack and ask if I can use his drill press. A good neighbor is better than a good friend who lives far away ( Drill the holes first, and then enjoy the 6 pack)

    Thanks, Christian, G.L. and i : 3 points My wife : 1 point We won. It will be 2 planks Who is going to tell her this......me

    Thanks Geert, The bottom of the balcony is painted and provided with bolts. The side of the balcony could be open with pillars or closed with planks. With me it becomes open with pillars. It looks that this was the most common at that time. An example is made as a template. 4 pillars can be made together with a simple holder. A first test (not yet glued) Start gluing Backside "work in progress" Planks are provided between the pillars. The question: 2 planks or 3 planks? My wife says :I want 3 planks I think 2 is better, compared to the drawing (2nd photo) Does anyone have an idea ?? Thanks for following

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.
