    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

    Balcony, work in progress. One opening of the balcony is too narrow for 2 planks and and too wide for one plank. so why not do something special here and add a Tudor rose (Historically probably totally wrong, but a nice challenge to do ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose So far so good, and now i am trying to make a crown for on top of the rose Thanks for following

    Thanks Geert, The bottom of the balcony is painted and provided with bolts. The side of the balcony could be open with pillars or closed with planks. With me it becomes open with pillars. It looks that this was the most common at that time. An example is made as a template. 4 pillars can be made together with a simple holder. A first test (not yet glued) Start gluing Backside "work in progress" Planks are provided between the pillars. The question: 2 planks or 3 planks? My wife says :I want 3 planks I think 2 is better, compared to the drawing (2nd photo) Does anyone have an idea ?? Thanks for following

    Welcome to MSW, Try a search for "18th century longboat" in build logs for SHIP MODEL KITS. This is already very interesting :

    Nice and beautiful carvings EJ The faces seem to me rather frightening "scary" in the white color. May they be painted in the gold color. like the rest of the carvings. (sorry for my google english)

    The door is more detailed. Windows are made of clear plastic (PVC). And it is the intention to become glass in lead. First i make grooves with a needle in the plastic. Then the "lead" insert is made with stretched sprue (light gray sprue has been used and is not painted) the clear plastic and wood fittings are glued and colored. ready Thanks for following

    Thanks Steven and Michael. The door of the balcony has been removed. Did not like it, some extra detail needs to be added first.

    Thanks Geert, I have also made and installed a door. The idea of the hinges and the lock are coming from a door of an old church somewhere in Northern Scandinavia. n Thanks for following Build index on page 1

    The balcony is started interesting info can be found on this forum. https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3123-the-heads-in-the-head-and-the-aft/&do=findComment&comment=86046 First introduced in the 1530s First description on an English ship in 1546 Supports and beams are provided as they could have been placed on a ship of that time The planks are arranged on the beams as I would attach them on 1/1 scale. First the supports are applied, and between the supports the connecting beams. planking is applied It is possible that for the higher ranks sanitary facilities were installed on these balconies. So 2 sanitary facilities are made, primitive, but effective Info about this was also found in the thesis The common people will get a place in the front of the ship Thanks for following

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.
