    Congratulations with the new blocks Keep the admiral far away this time The canvas roof and curtain will be special but if you add it, then you are likely to see less of the hull details i think

    It's good to see you back And I'm going to follow your build

    Beautiful ship and almost finished. Do you have an idea what your next model will be?

    I could only give your moral support . But, I am glad that the demolition work has not resulted in any "battle damage". She looks beautiful

    Translating this text in to Dutch with google was not simple. The naming of ship parts are a disaster on google translate . If I understand correctly, the piece you want to loosen is firmly fixed and difficult to reach. Is the risk of serious damage to your model not too big? I would still wait a little with this work. Perhaps someone finds a better solution without demolition work. If I find something on time I'll let you know.

    And greetings from Belgium

    Looks beautiful !! I am already curious about your solution for the "lack of foresight". But beware for battle damage . Always pleasure to follow your build

    Hello Ondras Your ship looks a lot like my Golden Hind. I'm following your building log. The book "Risse von schiffen des 16. und 17 jahrhunderts" is very helpful to me.

    Welcome from Belgium. And good luck with the the build

    G.L. , Michael , Roger and Steve. Thank you for following and the compliments @ G.L. In autumn and winter I build plastic models on the kitchen table because of better lighting above this table (My sight is not so good with bad lighting). And the admiral says : You do not have permission to make dust (from sanding wood) in the kitchen So it's plastic model building or nothing. @ Roger The high open railing is indeed high. For the time being, this will remain. We see what the future brings, making this rail lower is still possible. Thank you all for following and likes

    On the poop there are no planks on the hull. Only the frames are visible. It seems that this was a widely used way. Determining the height of the frames. And finishing. I already had a suspicion that the planking on stern came too high. So, I partly removed the planking. The wales on the stern are at the same height as on the hull. As seen on some images of that time. So no big images on the stern. There is no room for this. And they are rarely seen on ships from this period. probably just a picture of a pelican or a hind. The way of building this hull was not always according to the rules of modeling a wooden ship (due to lack of experience ) The balcony (still to be built) and the stern can both be wrong and are open for discussion. But there are sudies who say that even some merchant ships had a cabin for the captain under the poopdeck. And in the second half of the 16th century the balcony on the stern began to appear. So why not add them to this model. After about 1 year my first goal has been achieved. Build a hull that looks, for me, as good as possible. Construction is now on a lower priority. In autumn and winter, small models of military modeling are my number 1 For the Golden Hind I have to do first further research about decks, armour…. The hull still needs more sanding. And I have to do some testing on scrapwood with treenails, painting etc. Before starting with this on the model. Future updates will therefore be small and it may take a while before they arive.

    Rear castle same method The frames are sawn at the correct height. And made equal. Finishing side and Finishing top

    planking continues planking of the forecastle. I found 3 different ways to do this. Which is right ?? Who knows. That's why I've searched which method was most likely used. Method 1 seems to be most English but apparently came into use later. Method 2 is the most common in this period. Method 3 is the least common in this period So method 2 will be used. The frames are sawn at the correct height. And made equal. Saw planking of the front castle Finishing side Finishing top

    Nice work In the early 80's I also built the Soleil Royal from Heller. And she is also still on display in our house. I will follow. I have a feeling that I'm going to learn a lot here.

    For builders of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ships : This looks very interesting Dozens of perfectly preserved ancient shipwrecks have been found at the bottom of the Black Sea. A total of 60 wrecks were discovered dating back as far as 2,500 years, including galleys from the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires.

    People were indeed smaller 200 a 500 years ago. See the link to the Vasamuseum https://www.vasamuseet.se/en/collections--research/skeletons But, there were exceptions : The average height of the crewmen is 167 cm, with the tallest 179 cm and the shortest only 160 cm. This is much shorter than today, which is a result of a poor diet as children. For my Golden Hind I use an length of 160 cm (about 5 foot) hopefully this helps.

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.
