    I've seen these images before. This isn’t a carrack. Carracks from mr. Breugel with high castles. And a wel know image of a typical Carrack In the MR book there is an inventory (from the year 1514) of the cannons and their position on the decks in several ships. All the large ships (4 of them) have at least 2 decks in the fore castle

    1) Find and buy a second ancher (Two different anchors on a ship is possible) 2) Say that the second anchor is stowed in the hold. 3) Say the second anchor is lost. 4) Make make a new one yourself (again, two different anchors is possible)

    Thanks. All help is welcome. Remember the cardboard setup is just a test for the moment. Indeed. Building my previous model, i discovered that a lot of info and paintings are incorrect.

    The last piece raised was indeed the remaines of the stempost. The MR museum website has a contact page. You can ask all what you want to know, they don't answer....

    Great paint work. Congrats.

    Furling. The easiest way is to cut the sail lengthwise, so that you still have 1/3 of it left. and then roll up and tie to the yard. first try with a surplus of your cloth

    I don't think I'll live long enough to experience an event like this 😇

    The whole idea of building the castle in cardboard first is to see if this setup is realistic. Taking into account the tactics at the time (boarding), this high structure is logical. And the aft and fore castle are of a lighter construction than the hull, so the center of gravity remains good The first intention is to determine where the fore castle starts. Let's say the foundation of the castle. Otherwise I cannot continue with further construction of the front hull.

    Back to Mary. The fore castle. How do you start building something that doesn't have a clear example of it? First I enlarge the drawing from the books from 1/100th to 1/50th. This drawing is placed on the model at approximately the "correct" position. About the right height compared with the deck of the rear castle And the base starts at about the right distance from cannon port M3 And then we continue building in cardboard There's a cardboard front castle, with a happy assistant on the top deck. Of course I don't know if this form is correct. But the idea is to roughly recreate the ship on the cover of the book.

    The Flemish army in 1302 consisted largely of volunteers from various Flemish cities. Most members had to pay for their own weaponry. The most price-conscious item is a large piece of iron on a sturdy wooden stick. The iron can have all the shapes of a thick pin, Into a ball full of small iron pins, whether or not attached to the wooden stick via a chain. The intention is simple: Get as close to the opponent as possible, give him a good whack and say hello (while staying safely away from his weapons...) In our modern times: try to shoot at the opponent without getting shot yourself. Difference??? It is as dangerous as it was 700 years ago..

    Nice sewing But. Your main sail looks too small compared with the yard and the whole ship.

    Looks great

    Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33rd_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_Charlemagne Ps We're covering this entire buildlog with Tiger 2 history ... 😳

    In Flanders we call something like this "goedendag" or "good day" ... bang... Me too The cannon deck has been cleaned up a bit. Not as it once was, but a bit cleaner if someone later looked in through any openings. Before I can continue, I first have to determine the base of the fore castle. So first now thinking, searching, testing and try out

    Breakfast with Tigers... Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 received their first Tigers 2 mid-44. With textbook camouflage scheme and standard numbering. At the end of September 44 they received 45 new Tigers 2 and were transferred to Hungary. In the early 1945's the name was changed to sPzAbt.Feldhernhalle. This unit was totally destroyed in Budapest. So Berlin 45... very unlikely The 9 or 18 tooth sprocket. You have the 18 tooth sprocket, this is the first (early) model of the sprocket. Definitely build a mid 44 model (your camo is already good) Everything built later had 9 teeth and the simplified tracks.

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.
