    A very good preparation. This goes far beyond my understanding of drawing and building. Very educational, my compliments

    Small update, The carriages are provided with blocks and rope (this work took longer than initially planned). This picture served as example The carriages are fastened with a screw. This looks overkill but the screw is later invisible and the carriges are firmly secured. The blocks are surpluses of the Vasa of Billing Boats. Split pins (Dutch : splitpen) were used to secure the blocks. Al this can be done better. But for below deck, this detailing is sufficient. Thanks for following and likes.

    Ps, Make the hole big enough, the rope must be able to pass easily

    You're welcome I grew up with the metric system. Worked for 2 years at Ford tractor in Antwerp And all dimensions were inch in decimal at Ford (example: diameter 1.2546 inch.) Every measurement system has its advantages and disadvantages. The system you grow up with is still the easiest to understand

    Dave, Bolts, the head of the bolt is indeed about 2x the diameter of the bolt (70 a 100 years earlier Gresham shipwreck) From the same shipwreck : The filling timbers (green) were here not attached to the futtocks or the keel link : http://www.maritimearchaeology.dk/downloads/Full thesis bates.pdf

    Clever idea to design this. And fun to follow this project. Hopefully there will be a next project

    Hello everyone, The gun carriages. These are under deck and will not remain fully visible, only minor details will be added. First the sides are made with the electric crosscut saw. And then the bottom pieces are made with the same saw. My method uses a lot of wood in relation to what is needed. I used softwood for this. To know the dimensions a drawing has been made before i started. The bottom piece is multi-functional so that long or short, narrow or wide, carriages can be made from the same pieces. Making the wheels (the Backer way). Thin slices of wood are sawn and from these slices the wheels are "knocked out". After this I just do some sanding and make a hole in the middle. work in progress A first test Thanks for following.

    Hello everyone Cannons, main armament. A lot of information about 16th century armament can be found in the following master theses (They were free to download). http://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen._A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark These smaller "private" ships and merchantmen usually had armament of 3 and 4 pounders. Mainly iron guns, bronze was too expensive. Only the navy could afford this. It was not usually the intention to sink a hostile ship. Boarding another ship was the most "profitable". Then the cargo could be captured. Step 1: Determine the locations of the guns Billing Boats and Amati guns are used as the basis (I do not have a lathe, so improvising) Adjust the shape with the drill and files. The "cannon factory" The bore is too big. These are filled with plastic and fitted with the correct bore diameter. We make 1 pounders, 3 pounders and 4 pounders. Painted in Tamiya matte black Then a wash with diluted and extra matte gun metal. The bore opening is a little accentuated with pencil Ready Thanks for following and the likes

    Good luck with your first wooden shipmodel

    The sea and the firing guns with the smoke are beautifully done (The ship also of course). Great work Piet, very realistic. Respect

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.
