    Hello everyone, Thanks Ondras for the compliment. Back from vacation and returned to the shipyard. The rudder and helm are sanded and in the right shape. The upper part is collored and the lower part has a first light coat of white paint. Now further details are made. I started with the hinges, as always in plastic. I would rather have made them in metal. But after a eye surgery, I have trouble viewing small metal objects under a lamp. All metal parts shines so brightly that I do not see what I do. Before folding the plastic, it is treated with thin plastic glue. This makes the plastic soft and bends easily. Gluing on the wood is with CA glue Thanks for following

    Does indeed look like a simple model to build and with clear assembly instructions. Also with enough extra detail. Maybe a good model as a first build ? A pleasant awakening for me when I read this. At half past six in the morning (in this part of world) 😪💤

    Thanks Lawrence I started with the rudder. Nobody knows if the Golden Hind had a whipstaff or not. They came into use somewhere in the second half of the 16th century. so adding one is not completely incorrect. The rudder is made of 3 pieces of wood. The helm. I find 2 ways to attach the helm to the rudder. The helm passes through the rudder. Or the helm goes around the rudder Possibilily 1 is apparently from a later period, from the beginning of the 17th century. Possibility 2 seems to be the most common during this period. So this it will be. about in the right shape and bent. My roughly made rudder with the helm. Still a lot of sanding and detailing to do. Thanks for following

    Hello, Because of the exceptional warm weather in this part of the world and other urgent matters that came first, there is little progress to report. But in the meantime I have succeeded in placing the LED lighting. The quality of this work can be much better. But, once the deck is fully placed above it, little of this will be visible. The LED lighting is purchased just after Christmas and New Year. Then there is sale, 40 LED lights with battery holder for about 2 euros ($ 3?) The lanterns are made of plastic sheet. Where the lighting remains visible, lanterns have been placed. Not at other places. a first "prototype" There is still room enough to place the deckplanks above the lantern visibility through the cannon ports I do not think that in the 16th century there was one ship with so much lanters below deck as on my model .... Thanks for following and reacting (the like button is now a reacting button, i noticed 👍😉).

    Interesting build to follow. I had no idea how such a ship was built at that time. Until now. Great work Steven

    A nice model of a Hanze ship (in German or English) http://www.modelships.de/Verkaufte_Schiffe/Hanse_Schiff_1/Hansa_ship.htm And on this site (in dutch) http://www.zuiderzeehoorn.nl/pg-27093-7-105505/pagina/15e_eeuw__-_kopie.html Also a model

    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

    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

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.
