    Greetings from Belgium
  2. Baker
    Did some homework / search in all my books and printed info and the gardening is done for the time being. Result Boomkins: found only 2 times (Portuguese and Spanish) The "Vasa / Revenge solution": occurs only twice, very late in the 16th century. But is quite common from the beginning of the 17th century. "Nothing" is fairly common in the second half of the 16th century. So we are going for the "nothing" solution. How it goes further here with the rigging, those are worries for later. As long as I can turn the model upside down, i can still make an adjustment if necessary. This piece of deck had already been planked Treenails and kaulking has been done before the planks are glued. Dry test But I felt that the black gave too much contrast to the light gray planks. The kaulking has been redone with dark gray paint ( German Panzergrey...) After this the deck has been polished with scotch brite. Meanwhile, the work continues Still a lot of work to do on the beakhead. Thanks for following

    Thanks Lawrence, After painting and sanding. Take the pencil and place it where you want a nail. Press the tip of the pencil slightly into the wood. Turn the pencil slightly between the fingers. ready. A pencil with a harder point gives a better result. The point is "splintered" less quickly. And it gives a better metal look. Best first do some practice on some scrap wood I have been using a pencil for years in my military modeling (Shore leave : ADGZ M35 funkwagen)

    I never thought that my question would become so complicated This week there is a lot of work to do in the garden. In the meantime I will first look at all my info. Because it seems very much that before and after 1600 much changed. The manner like the Vasa is usually only seen after 1600 So first study and gardening Thanks everyone for the info

    Then I follow the advice of you and Christian There will be no boomkins on the Golden Hind. I shall make holes in the stem like on the picture. Thanks

    Yep, Did a search for "Boomkin ship" on google . Thanks!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomkin https://www.google.be/search?rlz=1C1SFXN_enBE500BE526&biw=1600&bih=720&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=6VIIW4b4D5LdwAKMnrX4Aw&q=boomkin+ship&oq=boomkin+ship&gs_l=img.12...6678.8926.0.11325.5.5.0.0.0.0.102.403.4j1.5.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.2.175...0i19k1j0i10i19k1j0i8i30i19k1.0.DsiLfpP92wA#imgrc=EEUbI7GpVvHtPM:

    Thanks for the reply and the compliment Cristian. This is indeed an alternative. On drawings from the time the GH sailed the boomkin is the most common. If I can not place a boomkin, it will probably become this alternative solution.

    Thank you for the reply. It will provide a "normal" capstan on my model.
  12. Baker
    Does anyone have an idea how these "things" are called? I would have liked to have created a topic in : Masting, rigging and sails. But I can not make a title as long as I do not know the correct name. Does anyone know how they could have been attached to the hull?
  13. Baker
    I would like to use this type of capstan for my Golden Hind. Has such a capstan ever existed? If so, did this already exist in the late 16th century?
  14. Baker
    Patrick: Yes I intend on adding knees. I did not for the orlop deck, OcCre did not, and many drawings that I have seen did not either. It was a mixed decision. Greetings from a concerned Patrick that panicked a bit to early.
  15. Baker
    Thanks Michael, Just a question. Do you go to install Knees ?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_(construction)

    GL How the sanitary looked like on a 16th century ship is hard to find. At the back of the balcony of the model there are made primitive facilities (holes) for the captain and the officers . It may well be that there was nothing at all on the balcony of a real ship. How does one go to the toilet on a 16th century ship? What I found about it: Crouched above the hole, leaning back against the side of the hull. And then "aim correctly) ... Perhaps not politely explained, but that was the intention. If I foresee something in the front to sit on. Then regular sailors have more luxury than the captain and the officers. That is why there are only holes. And nothing to sit on. Hopefully this answers your question

    MaybeIMaybe you will find an answer with Marijn. Check this post. There are beautiful little figures on his ships

    Never built a Tirpitz model. But visited the Tirpitz museum in Alta Norway. I follow. Groetjes

    Welcome to MSW, And greetings from Belgium.

    The grating on the beakhead is done. As a basis I used purchased grating because I do not possess the tools to make them myself. I had this in my possession for a long time. And I do not know who the manufacturer is. The wooden strips are own production. I have tried to get about the same result as in the picture from the Batavia replica 6 separate pieces of grating have been made staining is done with diluted gray. Then lightly "polished" with scotch brite. The "nails" are applied with a pencil An extra plank is provided in the middle. The holes for the mast and the bowsprit are roughly cut to the right size. 2 primitive sanitary facilities are provided. Extra bolts are also provided. Some deck planks have been applied without a glue as a test. Do not know yet if they will stay that way. Thanks for following

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.
