    Indeed 👍

    Thanks. And the wood is indeed of good quality. öß or ß ??? Neither letter is on the keyboard of my pc or smartphone. We do not use these in the Dutch language. So I did a "copy, paste" of the text on the website of the Maritimes museum in Hamburg. A German museum that cannot spell a German text correctly on their website....😪 Btw, English, German... never learned at school 😇

    The yacht D'Oro from Corel actually looks like the replica (called Sehnsucht) of the Great Yacht from the Brandenburg Navy. This kit from Corel dates from 1973, the plans and especially the instructions are completely off. Bought at a very good low price. If you really want to build a yacht from this period. For the same retail price there are better quality options. A challenge ... 👍 I think this the only existing painting of this vessel There is a model in the Maritimes museum in Hamburg Content of the box Drawings "instructions...." plywood more plywood planks and others fittings PE parts The supplied walnut planks for the hull will be used for the decks and such. For the hull itself, planks are sawn from pear wood. A set of new flags is also made and printed on tissue paper

    Current status I suspect I'm going to get into trouble with the bowsprit this way

    Me neither, he made cannons for me too 👍 the fore and rear castle of a carrack do indeed get narrow at the top. also check in advance if you have enough space for your standing rigging

    Thanks Steven. Plan b Plan c 🤔

    Small update The construction of the fore castle has only just begun and i already doing it wrong. There simply cannot be a beam in the middle because then there is no place for the fore mast... So new plan is needed without a beam in the middle. On all of Anthony's sketches of the large ships there is no "figurehead". Only on the contemporary drawings. So I am now starting with a regular triangle as a base.

    Revell has chrome paint in a spray can (expensive) but also in a regular jar for the brush. https://revell.de/en/shop/product/chrome-spray-150ml?srsltid=AfmBOoogGk3qsx-Qh53CITe_fct7Ysy0_VkL5CZVw2KTfprmXiImrFtn

    A bonaventura mast, yes or no. Your ship seems to be about the same length as Mary Rose. So it is possible. Maybe it is best to decide when the hull building is in an advanced stage. Then it will be much clearer whether the bonaventura belongs on the model or not.

    Thanks I have never felt so important in my entire life 😇. I am starting to blush The first sketch of how the base (the lowest deck) should be.

    The channels on the bow are ready. Correct or not?? who knows ... Current status Next, the fore castle, an attempt to...

    Nice work And good typo hunting 😉

    Off topic, but. As a former 3M employee (retired). Up until 25 years ago, the resin that "glues" the "sanding grains" to the paper was made from phenol and formaldehyde. Not environmentally and health friendly, but of great quality. Now a different, healthier resin is used. Less unhealthy, certainly. Better...? Search the 3M website. You might find the sandpaper you are looking for there.

    looks promising. facehugger... had to do a google search 👽🤔

    Great planking work 👍
  22. Baker
    Thanks Not scuppers These are holes for the sheets and taks of the main and fore sail But, scuppers scuppers?? There are scuppers in the hull and i forgot them. Oops

    The words written before or after "pont" say a lot about what exactly is meant by "pont". From a French Dutch dictionary from 50 years ago at school. I'm curious to see what your bow will look like. Mary Rose's turned out surprisingly to be very pointed

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.
