    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

    Tomorrow getting a six pack of beer and next week go to the neighbor across the street, with the 6 pack and ask if I can use his drill press. A good neighbor is better than a good friend who lives far away ( Drill the holes first, and then enjoy the 6 pack)

    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 Auggie, Why not start with a simple kit first. Always good to gain some experience

    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

    Welcome to MSW Mike and greetings from Belgium.

    The sidewalls below deck, All of these objects have been previously installed during construction. But not yet explained Apparently there were 2 ways. With planking on the inner sides or with the frames remain visible. It was decided to leave the frames / futtocks visible. This detail could be done better. But later this part is only visible through the gun ports and possibly an open hatch, so this is good enough. Historically correct for an English ship ?? who knows, this example is Spanish (San Juan) Traces of the standing knees have been found on an english shipwreck (Gresham). And yes they also effectively hindered the free firing field of some cannons. Hanging knees and beams for the upper deck will be applied later. Water that came on this deck was drained through holes to the lower cargo space ( source Gresham ship) A breast hook and the construction for the anchor cable are also made (source : vasa ship and the Batavia replica) The photos speak for themselves. Work on the balcony has also been started up again. Thanks for following

    Thanks Lawrence The pictures that are now being explained are indeed from a while ago. Work on this gun deck was done between other works on the hull. At the moment there is little time to build. Work in the garden and other jobs. Translating to English is also time-consuming for me, because I never learned English in school. So for now only updates with explanations about this cannon deck. Ps I am already looking forward to your new build log

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.
