    All treenails are done on one side of the model. I have tried to follow the structure of the futtocks and filling frames as much as possible Source the Gresham shipwreck Sanded and wiped off with a wet cloth (Still about 1000 treenails to do) I have also done a first test for a brown and whit color on the hull Greetings Index see post 1

    Well done Jeff But my opinion about replicas of the Golden Hind : beware of them. There is very little known about ships from this time.

    Hallo Bontie The best advise i can give you is to read these articles first before you start planking. I did thid too first, they are very helpfull. And yes, Your log is better in the forum for ship model kits. You will find more help there http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php

    This post is double (error from me) If a moderator reads this, this post may be deleleted. I am worried about deleting too much myself and erasing the entire building log Thanks Michael and Steven. In the meantime, I decided to apply trenails to the entire hull. Knowing myself : If I do not do this, then I will regret it later.

    Good luck with your build. Swedish breakfast, with herring, is indeed very tasty.

    Thanks Zappto, I use ramin for the hull. This was a leftover of wood from when we built our house 25 years ago. I do not think that this quality of ramin is still available. What is now sold as ramin is much softer wood. Al the other wood is cherry.

    Planking the front side of the for castle. Everything went according to plan. Until I discovered a mistake. How could I miss something as stupid as this? On one side I'm 3 mm (slightly less than 1 / 8th inch) out of center. Fortunately, the adhesive was not completely cured. So, cutting with a Stanley knife and breaking apart was still posible. Sawing the frame so that it can bend. gluing and clamping Back to planking again and treenailing. Ready Thanks for following

    The stempost is also reconstructed. To be honest... The first attempt was not really a success and did not survive the construction process of the hull. He was broken off and is now made new again. After sanding and put into the right shape (planking of the forcastle is started). Thanks for following

    The construction of the holes for the anchor cable. As mentioned earlier, on most ships from this time I only find 2 holes (1 on each side). For the dimensions and appearance I based myself on drawings and paintings from that time.

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.
