    Thank you, I read somewhere. Spanish prisoners found the living conditions below deck dark, cramped and unhealthy. They were right

    Diluted Tamiya dark sea grey XF-54 for the deck (1/3 Paint 2/3 isopropyl alcohol ) After drying, the deck is matte. Polish then with scoth brite (green color). The more you polish the more gloss on the deck. Sides of the planks are painted with Tamiya German Grey XF-63 Black as caulcing gives too strong a contrast in combination with the gray of the deck. Then it looks like the wood is weathered, and the caulcing is not.

    I have finished planking the deck. This work took a while. To prepare each plank separately before gluing on the model, takes more time. The advantage is that no more sanding has to be done on the model. So there will be no dust on the model itself. The base for the whip staff has also been made. It has not become a deck with a nice equal planking scheme. So, my apologies to everyone who does not like this. Whip staff deck Thanks for following

    Short update, The rudder is cut loose from the hull and the bolts are placed. Now can be started with the further finishing of the hull

    hello Steven, If I see it correctly on the photo. I think your first frame on the upper right side is not in line with the rest.
  22. Baker
    indeed. Just look at the topic below In those days the hull planks were 4.2 to 5.2 meters long. suppose that deck planks were 6.4m long (640 cm) Then a deck plank on scale 1/64 can be about 10 cm long maximum ( 4 inch). The deck planking on my Golden Hind will have bits and pieces.

    great work!

    too long is not a problem. you can bend the tracks a little down between the return rollers. This calls "a sagging look" i think.

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.
