    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

    If it is a ship from the 16th century. Do not expect much from "the kitchen". I think that wood was then used as fuel

    Started with the beakhead, I use old drawings as an example for the outside of the bow. For the inside (deck) a photo of the Batavia replica. On most ships of this periode are ther no ropes on the bowsprit (about 80% without and 10% with). These ropes are therefore not applied on the model. The fore mast is in front of the forecastle, as can be seen on most ships of this time, an underlay for deck planks has already been installed here. This drawing is one of the very few examples where the mast is in the fore castle (bad example !). A first test Construction and painting Thanks for following and likes, Build index on page one

    The balcony is finished (Finally) I had underestimated the time and work required for this work... I made a crown in plastic to place above the rose And did not like this. So, the crown was removed again. Supports for awnings are also provided. Suppo Thanks for following and likes, Build index on page one

    Welcome to the wonderful world of wooden ship model building. You will have "ups and dows" while building your model. Always remember the "ups" and learn from the downs

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.
