This time an update without a misstep.. Everything went according to plan The bulwark (frames) of the upper deck : Logically speaking and thinking. This bulwark is constructed with partial planking and shields. In accordance with the waist, where there are also partly shields, why should all frames reach the top? If their only purpose is to hold up a beam with shields hanging from it? Therefore, the height of the majority of frames is only up to the planking. And some go higher, the distance between these frames is approximately in accordance with that of the waist. Saw the frames to height And then narrow them to the 3mm Then a beam is glued above the clinker planking. The connections are only to maintain sufficient strength on the model. A new "frame" is placed And the longest frames are narrowed. and to 3mm. The height is speculative, the shortest frame was the size. Starboard is ready, just a small beam needs to be attached at the top. Some extra planking is done (arrow) Thanks for following, likes and comments.

Thank you for the nice comments. In the meantime, I've had a moment where you say to yourself "kieke" Flemish for "chicken". A fun way to say stupid 🤣 The plank is clamped and the clamp is now blocked And the iron wire, which kept the sides of the rear castle at the right width, and on which I have already cut my fingers a few times. has been replaced by a pair of threaded rods. Safety first at the shipyard 👍

His model participates in competitions, the aim is to follow the plans you have as faithfully as possible. He succeeds well in this and has already won several prizes. No one knows whether the model is completely historically correct, no detailed construction drawings were made during the era of 16th century period.

With the beam for the swivels on the port side also installed and the frames made thinner, time to continue working on the transom. The clinker planking that was previously installed has been removed. And the intention is to install two stern chasers here, the openings of the swivels will then remain empty. Applying the same number of cannons as the Anthony drawing is not feasible. A nice drawing to show to a king, but not a practical design in reality. Several attempts... And after three attempts it became this. Finish the holes for the swivels with a beam on top First i make grooves. This is more work, but positioning the beam correctly is much easier. And above this beam back to clinker planking. This will provide more strength when the frames are made thinner later.

Baker replied to mikegr's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
If you drive it into a mine field, and the tracks "fly in the air". Then it does not matter which model of tank you are in. You are, as they so aptly say in English, a sitting duck. 😪

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.
