    Just an idea. Why don't you make 2 if you're going to scratch build. One with all the tools for models under construction. and one as a "showroom" for finished models

    Nice work

    To return to the original question. A wale is not mounted on the planks. But it is actually a thicker plank (beam). which is mounted before the hull planks are applied. So it is in the same line as the planks and can not cross the strakes.

    Thank you The Airfix Matilda is actually their old model, supplemented with newly designed pieces for the Hedghog. I think a Hetzer is always something special. For this Hetzer, I think parts were "borrowed" from the Esci Hetzer

    My last 4 "modern Russian" kits. All 4 are from ACE on a 1/72 scale We start with BREM-2, a recovery vehicle based on the BMP family. http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/108 The box Content. As mentioned earlier, these are short run kits. Special but with some extra work... I've have this kit for years. One of the reasons I never started it, a lot of cleaning up to do And the first pieces don't cooperate from the start. But, with time and patience, a model will eventually emerge

    Small update. Applying the tracks. A bit of fiddling, but now they are completely applied. And the Matilde is ready

    Historically not. But if no one tells your uncle Jay about this, he probably won't mind this little error 😇 Normally there are 3 schrouds at the top mast, (i see only 2)

    Indeed, why not try rigging this yourself. So much better.

    Great work, a very beautiful model.

    While I'm working on the treenails in the hull of my Mary Rose . It's time for some variety. So now some military models. We build the 38t Hetzer Starr from Attack hobby kits. Not the most fitting and detailed model, but a somewhat exotic Hetzer. General info about the Hetzer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetzer And the "Starr" variant https://www.armedconflicts.com/Jagdpanzer-38-t-Starr-t12128 Box, parts and plan Building the chassis, this wasn't actually that simple, there was nothing that fits. Cleaning and drilling the wheels All is ready to apply the tracks ( Only the idler wheels could be mounted without fitting and cutting ) ( with a Airfix Matilda hegdehog almost finnished)
  15. Baker
    Indeed

    Batavia. The curved planks on the stern are a protective layer of soft wood against shipworm. An early form of copper plating.

    Treenail update, The weather forecast has been the same here for several weeks : rain and occasional showers... So a lot of time to drill holes and add treenails... After all the treenails have been applied it is time to scrape and sand. Pieces of old Stanley knives are used for scraping. The original and the model (picture of the original is thanks to @firdajan) After sanding, the hull was cleaned with a wet cloth. The starboard side is ready. Wales still needs to be done, probably also with treenails, and bolts??. I sent this question to the Mary Rose museum, but no response yet Thanks for following

    Very, very beautiful model👍 It was nice and interesting to follow
  21. Baker
    Looking at the parts and the model, still the same as it was 35 years ago when I built my first one. So you are the one who builds those beautiful machines
  22. Baker
    Nice work. Originally these were Matchbox kits, http://www.matchboxkits.org/index.php?cPath=81_82
  23. Baker
    A very special "look" 👍 Nice work

    To late, but. A certain Mister Furttenbach had the same problem 300 years ago. Now this drawing is an example in rigging for many 😉

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.
