    Thank you G.L. There will certainly be enough toothpicks left for the holidays. Steve, Thanks for the comment I certainly will not make a puzzle of it like the examples shown. The Golden Hind was probably not a real warship, but an armed merchantman. Specially built or rebuilt for this trip. Nobody knows that. Of course there will have been nicely planked decks then, and others will have been "less nicely". With the intention of my saying, no rules. I want to say : Nicely planked or with all possible leftovers planked. No one can say what is right or wrong for this period. All evidence is indeed at the bottom of the sea. As you can see, I keep the planking as neat as possible. Interesting topic

    Hello, Started with planking of the deck General rules in 16th century deck planking : there are no rules, use all your wooden planks that you have left ... and is the deck waterproof, then it is good. some examples I also made a ladder. This will be glued on the model when the anchor cable is in place. The original planks were probaly nailed and the head of the nail was caulced. Planks are provided with treenails ( the caulcing) in advance and have already been colored once before glueing on to the model. Work in progress The third box of toothpicks.... Thanks for following and merry christmas

    Hello everyone Michael, he has not caught a rat yet. But mice are no longer safe in our garden..😸 Continue with the model. The channels have finally been installed. There were quite a few difficult pieces to make. I think I'm going to place the cannons now. Thanks for following and likes.

    Some info, The StuG IIIf was the first model to receive the long 7.5cm L/43 cannon. Later models had the L/48. In combination with the low silouette of the vehicle, this was very effective against enemy tanks. Somewhere I once read that by the summer of 1943 alone the StuG's were responsible for about 30,000 destroyed Russian tanks. Best needed if you know that in 1942 the average tank production of the German Panzer IV 100 was pieces per month. The Russians then already built 1000 T34 per month.. Interior photos of a StuG IIIg the next model, comparable to the f model. Ps, Great model !!

    Beautifully made Kortes I can help you with the names in Dutch It is : Friesch boeierjacht Sperwer "Friesch" comes from "Friesland", a province in the northern part of the Netherlands "Boeier" is the type of ship that you make. "Sperwer" is the name of the ship (a bird, sparrow)

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.
