    I'm glad I could help. Another BB Vasa without the pinoles

    I hope I'm not too late with this picture. On the original ship in the museum, there are no holes. And this seems to be an original piece of the ship.

    Thanks for the positive comments. Have you used this approach before? Scott, No. This was my very first lantern on my first ship. It is made in plastic because I have most experience with this material from my military modeling But I remember this advice when I make a lantern for my Golden Hind.

    Michael, I did fair the bulkheads before installing the filler blocks. Since I did not have good drawings. I had to draw my own bulckheads (frames) These filler blocks have saved my model. For me it is like the first planking on the hull. But with more space for sanding away any errors
  5. Baker
    If I understand it correctly (i hope), the question is about filler blocks. This way I made my blocks. Be careful with the grinder. Sanding goes quickly.

    Thanks for the positive comments and likes. In English and Flemish. Just seen on the picture On the stern there is still an error of a few mm. Building a hull without proper drawings and with my limited experience is not easy But, sometime we will get it to the finish with this model (in a few years....) index

    Hallo, The filler blocks are placed on the starboard side. Because sanding with the sanding machine is faster the blocks are not made in advance in to the proper shape. This is now probably the most ugly hull ever shown MSW….. A few minutes of sanding and the shape is already better. If you want to do this in the same way Do this outside. This makes a lot of dust .... Now further filling and sanding until the desired shape has been achieved. The lower part of the hull is ready for planking. My first goal was to try to build a hull that has probably the right shape Below the waterline it looks to be in order next update : frames and gunports on the cannondeck index

    No. But the general shape of this model of the Golden Hind seems to look good.

    Good luck with the small jobs Do not you think this is a dangerous place to put a ship model (even temporarily.) Hopefully it does not fall. That would be really pity In dutch : Dat zou zeer, zeer jammer zijn.

    Thank you for restart this buildlog. I follow

    I have to now only focused on English shipbuilding late 16th century (for my Golden Hind). Even the early 16th century building method looks to be different from this. perhaps there is no general correct answer to this question. What type of ship? What time period? which nation? Maybe even on which shipyard the ship is build? Each time period and country apparently had its own rules and habits.

    Lorne, I will never use them. So you can have these parts. Shipping costs will be your biggest expense Send me a message where you live (or just which country you live). Then I can see what the price will be. You can then decide whether you still want them or not. Groetjes Greetings

    Christian, Maybe you can find here more information about "seats of ease" Lots of info and links . Groetjes Greetings

    The making of an early 17th century ship lantern writing English texts is not my best side. I hope that the photographs and the drawings are sufficient. Here's the method of how I made my lantern for my Wasa Billing Boats. A lantern of this type is also found on the Batavia replica. I have attached a pdf with a drawing Dimensions are in mm (1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches) schets lantaarn.pdf (Extra small details in plastic strip are applied on the lantern) Painting is gold and gun metal) The base came from lantern From Billing Boats eight volunteers from the 1/72 parts box ready Each question will be answered as good as possible Groetjes Greetings

    thanks Michael and Cristian and everyone watching this When the fillerblocks are ready on both sides. I will start with building up the frames. ( It is my intention to make the inside partly visible through open doors and windows) Before I can do this, I first need to determine the final shape I now have plans and images for 4 different Golden Hinds….( Yes 4 ) The final shape will probably look like this Groetjes Greetings

    Hello The upper ends of the frames are provided with supports. So that they can be less easily damaged. I started with the filling of the lower space of the frames ( i think "fillerbloks" is the correct word). Wooden pieces are sawn to length. These pieces are then made at approximately the right shape. And glued between the frames A few frames also had to be adjusted. One side is filled up, and can be sanded. One side is sanded I used this machine to sand the rough shape Some test planking is attached (looks ok) The frame of the stern has been modified and should now have better shape (thanks druxey). One side is done and seems to have the proper shape below the waterline One side to go. Ps, I had picture uploade problems, see : http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/15445-images-size-fixed-at-12-px/ Groetjes Greetings

    Well done. Enjoy the beer Cheers. groetjes Greetings

    Thanks, I think that this is the replica that now lies in London. The hull is widened Build in 1973 i think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmJRWq5g4o8 Work on the first side is going well And the badly made frame at the stern is almost in correct shape. index see post 1 Groetjes Greetings

    Hallo The shipyard is restarted. I have started to fill up the space between the frames. When one side is finished there will be A more detailed update. Index see post 1 Groetjes Greetings

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.
