    Time for an update of the canon deck / orlop deck. This deck will be little visible later.The intention is to detail as much as possible as an exercise for building the higher decks. The deck planks are a mix of the decks of the Mary rose and the Vasa Side walls such as the San Juan wale ship Standing knees like the Gesham ship. This is the current status. The construction method will come in different posts. Spring has begun and there is a lot of work in the garden and the spring clean up Thanks for following Buildlog index see post 1

    Great work Ondras Pins, Treenails ... Once you have applied them to the model, you will not regret it. But it is indeed a lot of work.

    After I started on the balcony. I new i had forgotten something Bolts. So first apply bolts to the wales and to the places where the knees are Info about the bolts. Source: the Gresham ship. To scale I must therefore have bolts whose head is 1.1 to 1.2 mm. The spacing between the bolts on the wales is 2 to 3 cm. Small nails of 1 cm "without head" are suitable for this. The heads vary between 1.1 and 1.2 mm in diameter. Right size it can not be better. Method used : The nails are first degreased in acetone and dryed. Then the heads are made black with Perma Bleu and cut to length with a pair of pliers Predrilling a hole where a nail should come. Nail and ready. Work in progres Thanks for following

    Backer's idea, Can you not make the oval piece with the name separate? This may work easier

    Thanks Christian. This was the most complex "camouflage scheme" I have ever tried to paint. Long live panzer gray, olive green and other sand colors in my military modeling

    Painting is done. On this part of the hull the colors have become white and red. After painting a light dry brushing with white and reddish brown was applied. Sometimes it did not go according to plan... The pelican is also further painted. Now we can start with the floor of the balcony. And make windows and a door. Thanks for following, index see post 1.

    On this site http://www.modelships.de/ I found this link http://www.finemodelships.com/sale_transport.htm Maybe they can help you. Although, Packing it yourself and transporting it to your father by car is perhaps faster and cheaper.

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.
