    The Cannon deck or orlop deck. Most details on this deck are guesswork. As soon as the upper deck is built, there will be little left visible of this deck (the idea is to place LED lights inside later) The planking of the deck. My only references were the Mary Rose (early 16th century) and the Vasa (early 17th century) The Mary Rose deck looks like one big puzzle. The Vasa deck looks beautiful and looks good. What to use from the 2 as an example? So a "mix" of the 2 (Mary Rose deck) My first attempt The hatches were applied to this deck And i started planking a new deck above the first deck. And then forgot to take pictures Started planking at the sides of the hatches Apparently never stop with a sharp point. Just stop a plank like this. Wider planks to fill larger holes. Result There is some "Vasa" order in Mary Rose "puzzle" I used a marker pen for caulking the planks, and will NOT use this on the upper decks. I dont like it after the painting is done. The treenails are made with a pencil, fast and easy. And good enough fot this deck. Coloring of the deck. 2 thin layers of thinned Tamiya dark sea grey XF-54 (20% paint 80% isopropylalcohol) are used. I like the result It looks pretty good as old weathered oak Thanks for following

    Ondras, Your planking (tiling) is not Your planking is

    Spanish shipbuilding, 2 centuries earlier. About the same pricipe. Only the frames are built differently and there are no ceiling planks on the inside.

    Great work Michael. some ideas : Then looking at the profile grrr –these kit supplied planks look way too thin – and out of scale?, especially with the weight of the ballast rocks that these planks need to support. Remember that there are more frames and placed closer together (= more support). Minor update that includes some frustrations, using the kit supplied planks; I thought that I would try also using Pinstripe tape to simulate the caulking. Was there caulking on these interior planks? Maybe you should not do caulking here I am not at home now (work ). But I will see this evening at home if I find more information about this

    Thanks Geert, I'm trying to do my best

    Thanks Michael I have looked at your Santisima build a few times. Looks promising. But be careful I see many differences with the construction of a hull in the 16th century and in the period of your ship (18th century ?)

    Time for an update of the canon deck / orlop deck. This deck will be little visible later.The intention is to detail as much as possible as an exercise for building the higher decks. The deck planks are a mix of the decks of the Mary rose and the Vasa Side walls such as the San Juan wale ship Standing knees like the Gesham ship. This is the current status. The construction method will come in different posts. Spring has begun and there is a lot of work in the garden and the spring clean up Thanks for following Buildlog index see post 1

    It is a pleasure to follow this build, A fairly unknown ship A kit from unknown manufacturer (for me anyway) And in between a complete story about this ship Dank u Piet (Thank you Piet).

    Welcome to MSW. And greetings from Belgium

    Great work Ondras Pins, Treenails ... Once you have applied them to the model, you will not regret it. But it is indeed a lot of work.
  19. Baker
    Great work Michael, It was a pleasure to follow this. I am already looking forward to your next project

    After I started on the balcony. I new i had forgotten something Bolts. So first apply bolts to the wales and to the places where the knees are Info about the bolts. Source: the Gresham ship. To scale I must therefore have bolts whose head is 1.1 to 1.2 mm. The spacing between the bolts on the wales is 2 to 3 cm. Small nails of 1 cm "without head" are suitable for this. The heads vary between 1.1 and 1.2 mm in diameter. Right size it can not be better. Method used : The nails are first degreased in acetone and dryed. Then the heads are made black with Perma Bleu and cut to length with a pair of pliers Predrilling a hole where a nail should come. Nail and ready. Work in progres Thanks for following

    Backer's idea, Can you not make the oval piece with the name separate? This may work easier
  22. Baker
    Not so long ago we had this interesting topic.
  23. Baker
    great progress E.J. I am sure that you will find the right solution for this challenge.

    Nicely done Michael, Almost finished, do not forget to put the champagne in the refrigerator to celebrate

    Welcome, And success with your first model ship.

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.
