    Thanks Lawrence, Started making 4 "wrouth iron" cannons. This type of cannon was still in use during this period. The base: 4 blocks of cherry wood. A hole is drilled and a piece is cut out. The block is cut to shape and sanded. The cannon barrel. the first piece is a test, Made from a piece of plastic sprue and various pieces of plastic strip. Bolts are made from stretched sprue. No stress Ready to paint. Painted and weathered and ready. 1 done 3 more to go. Thanks for following

    Hello Michael, They do indeed seem quite thick. maybe make them a little narrower at the top. On the drawing it also looks as if the outside is bending inwards. This way you go from the "wide" bottom to a "narrower" top. Hopefully my "Google English" is clear

    I agree with Keith.

    Hello, After the historical info about Verrebroek. And what can be found in "my backyard" when you start digging A small update about the model. Because the doors of the main cabin are open. Some furniture and other items must be provided. Drawing a small sketch in advance is always handy. A table and a few beds. Made from scrap wood and paper tissue. Suitcases of the people who are allowed to "live" and work in this cabin. And some old maps downloaded with google and printed. If the visibility in the cabin remains good with the ledlights , additional items will be provided. Thanks for following

    Thank you everyone for the nice comments and good advice. It looks that I am reasonably correct with my model capstan (The Mary Rose and San Juan whale ship capstans are quite identical ) Since nobody could take a photo in the 16th century and nobody neatly stated where the bars were stored. I will have to find a place myself. And no, its not made in Italy Made in Verrebroek. Btw. The meaning of the name "Verrebroek" (the town where we live). verre, means : higher dry land broek, means : wetland area So Verrebroek is founded on a higher dry land in a swampy area. Now this area is all dry land. But in the Middle Ages this area was swampy. Not so far away from our home, during the expansion works of the port of Antwerp, people even found a cog while digging a new dock. Patrick

    On the capstan is just where I don't want to place them permanently. Then I have no space left at all. My idea was that the guns deployed there were only in position during combat operations. So there is no place left to operate the capstan. During non combat operations secured to the side of the ship. Then there is room to operate the capstan. But that's just an assumption.

    Hello and
  22. Baker
    As always Very nicely done.

    Thanks GL Next step is painting the capstan. A painted (replica) example of the Batavia from the early 17th century was a challenge I couldn't resist. Thus, I did an attempt to paint this "color scheme". White is the basic color and red green as the secondary colors. The basis on which the capstan stands is thicker than the deck plancks. Of course I forgot this during deck planking ... So plan B. Make it look like the capstan stands on thicker planks. And add an extra tree nail here and there in the original planking. ready Bars for the capstan will by made later. For the moment I have no idea where I can put them. Thanks for following.

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.
