    come and get it Thanks Michael, But beer at room temperature. No no, in Belgium we drink cooled beer Thanks, Kriek, also tasty. It is still too hot here in Belgium (it is from 1976 ago that it has been so hot and dry here) So building is slow. I started with the deck beams and the hanging knees. The deck beams are made of cherry. They are 24 hours soaked in water and 24 hours clamped. I made this a month ago to see if they kept the correct curved shape. Most remained correctly curved. Most deck beams are placed. The rear beams are not yet installed, first I have to put the helm in place Still much to do. Did a test set-up of the deck with the main mast. Have to place LED lights and make lanterns (one prototype as a test, and for now not yet satisfied with the result). etc, etc. Thanks for following and likes

    you're right. I can only answer this :

    Carl Believe it or not. Outboard loading was, at that time, more a necessity than an exception Thanks, Do you remember the discussion we had? How to load the 2 small cannons on the deck on your Vasa. Maybe the text and images below show the solution. Climbing overboard... on y Meanwhile, here in Belgium it is to hot to build modelships. a drink a day keeps the doctor away

    Great progress Ward

    Good to hear you are ok. Get well soon for both of you

    Tłumaczenia językowe są okropne!!! = Language translations are terrible !!! Yep, Google translate is useful. But indeed, it sometimes makes strange misspellings You Colleagues are both right !!! Thanks (dziękuję) I'm doing a model for the Polish edition of the De Agostini collection. I undertook to do it exactly according to the instructions contained in the notebooks. In my case, the case is based on the proof that this model can be built based on De Agostini notebooks. Bad research from De Agostini I build according to instructions, but on the Polish blog I suggest modelers how correctly these elements should actually be valorized. Great work !!
  13. Baker
    Then the instructions are totally wrong about this point. Hubac's Historian is right. It is indeed advisable to correct this error. Ps Otherwise very nicely done.

    Here is the build of a beautiful replica under construction. The San juan, a Basque whaler from the 16th century. History http://www.albaola.com/en/site/investigation-process Replica http://www.albaola.com/en/site/building-process Enjoy

    Thanks, The crew will not have to worry about the recoil when the guns are fired. Reloading will become somewhat difficult...
  17. Baker
    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.

    Doris, You can download a pdf on this link. The 17th century is from page 66 onwards Patrick

    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

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.
