    Beautiful model Nils, And, I just saw it's your birthday today. Happy birthday Nils. And many happy years and a lot of model building pleasure.

    I started with the tree nails in the hull planks. The idea is to follow the line of the futtocks (frames) as much as possible. The holes of the treenails were apparently not always neatly drilled on a straight line. Because this is not going to look nice on the model, I will not follow this completely. The holes will be drilled as far as possible in a straight line. But now and then a hole will be drilled out of the center line… The first treenails "Finished" treenails I find this a boring job. So, we do this work occasionally between the military models production. About 600 holes drilled. To be continued (slowly)

    Toni, My wife is doing the whole household and she does this all very wel And she goes to work. She knows that making 3 models at the same time is not multitasking. Then she just shakes her head from left to right and smiles I'm making diner. Maintain a garden of 2000m2 Do all the small repairs in the house. Do maintenance on our 2 cars Go to work 5 days a week. And, in 32 years of modeling, there are only 2 models (on a total of 1400 completed) that ended up in the trash because of a failure. Ps, Hopefully, I do not offend anyone with my bad knowledge of the English language

    Bonjour Philippe, And welcome to MSW

    My admiral always says that a man can not do multitasking. Only a woman can do that. I am constantly working on one wooden model ship and 2 to 3 plastic military models to prove her that she is wrong.

    Very beautiful and thoughtfully done Félicitations à vous !

    It starts to look nice. Filler blocks are indeed handy to work with.
  10. Baker
    Well done with the planking EJ. She looks beautiful. Always a pleasure to follow
  11. Baker
    Congratulations with the new blocks Keep the admiral far away this time The canvas roof and curtain will be special but if you add it, then you are likely to see less of the hull details i think

    It's good to see you back And I'm going to follow your build

    I could only give your moral support . But, I am glad that the demolition work has not resulted in any "battle damage". She looks beautiful

    Translating this text in to Dutch with google was not simple. The naming of ship parts are a disaster on google translate . If I understand correctly, the piece you want to loosen is firmly fixed and difficult to reach. Is the risk of serious damage to your model not too big? I would still wait a little with this work. Perhaps someone finds a better solution without demolition work. If I find something on time I'll let you know.

    And greetings from Belgium
  21. Baker
    Looks beautiful !! I am already curious about your solution for the "lack of foresight". But beware for battle damage . Always pleasure to follow your build
  22. Baker
    Hello Ondras Your ship looks a lot like my Golden Hind. I'm following your building log. The book "Risse von schiffen des 16. und 17 jahrhunderts" is very helpful to me.
  23. Baker
    Welcome from Belgium. And good luck with the the build

    Welcome from Belgium

    G.L. , Michael , Roger and Steve. Thank you for following and the compliments @ G.L. In autumn and winter I build plastic models on the kitchen table because of better lighting above this table (My sight is not so good with bad lighting). And the admiral says : You do not have permission to make dust (from sanding wood) in the kitchen So it's plastic model building or nothing. @ Roger The high open railing is indeed high. For the time being, this will remain. We see what the future brings, making this rail lower is still possible. Thank you all for following and likes

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.
