Started painting The red paint first got some gray drybrushing. Then the decoration around the cannon opening was painted yellow with a gold drybrushing on top. The parts of planking that are not white, black, or otherwise colored. Are provided with some "wooden" treenails (toothpicks) The wails of "bolts" (head pins) And the plank between the wails of "nails" (fishing wire) I also started painting on the decoration, the PE parts that were included with the kit for this were a to be painted.... Base color red, decoration yellow, and over the whole a drybrushing with gold color, I really can't do better. Also started on the winch Kit parts improved part

English Royal Yacht by Ab Hoving - CARD

I also started a yacht. As a side project. It seems that the Dutch yachts have a different hull shape than this one (and mine). Correct? Or imagination 🤔. And you build faster than me 😉 -

https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-66339 And, I watch and learn from you -
Building the side windows of the rear cabine. There are 2 "shapes" provided, the material of which looks like pressed paper. Some PE parts and 4 figures. First sand and cut into shape, and then get started. A bit better than the kit parts. And a first layer of paint has been applied and sanded. No masking tape has been used, at the time this was not available either

Looks great -18 🥶. Best to wait for warmer days The recurring question, clear coat, stain, paint?? Hide a nicely planked hull, or not This will be your own difficult choice 😉 -
Thanks. Yes and no. Corel is not really helpful. The only thing I base it on are the colors on the Brandenburg Marine painting.

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.
