    His model participates in competitions, the aim is to follow the plans you have as faithfully as possible. He succeeds well in this and has already won several prizes. No one knows whether the model is completely historically correct, no detailed construction drawings were made during the era of 16th century period.

    Yes, Nice paint work

    Maybe you can find some build info here,

    With the beam for the swivels on the port side also installed and the frames made thinner, time to continue working on the transom. The clinker planking that was previously installed has been removed. And the intention is to install two stern chasers here, the openings of the swivels will then remain empty. Applying the same number of cannons as the Anthony drawing is not feasible. A nice drawing to show to a king, but not a practical design in reality. Several attempts... And after three attempts it became this. Finish the holes for the swivels with a beam on top First i make grooves. This is more work, but positioning the beam correctly is much easier. And above this beam back to clinker planking. This will provide more strength when the frames are made thinner later.

    If you drive it into a mine field, and the tracks "fly in the air". Then it does not matter which model of tank you are in. You are, as they so aptly say in English, a sitting duck. 😪

    All wales on the clinker planking are installed. On the starboard side a beam has been simulated where the swivel cannons will later be placed And the thinning of the frames has begun First a pencil line. Then the more "heavy tools", used carefully of course. One side is from 6 to 5 mm, the intention is to later make the frames even thinner above the beam of the swivels to 4 or, if possible, 3 mm

    You're doing very well. And it is very nice to follow. I would only attach the backstays of the fore and main mast more forward, like on the mizzen mast. If you tie them so far back they can get in the way of later rigging.

    First of all, I have little or no knowledge of ships from this period. But, the stones of the mosaic all seem to be the same size. So the poor guy who placed the mosaic has little room to make something as small as the stock taper. There is also a chance that he knew more about laying mosaics than about ships. I wouldn't rely on just this mosaic as a basis for your anchor.

    Thank you for the nice comments. The planking at the bow has been further sanded and fitted with treenails. Back to the rear castle. Smaller wales (4) are placed on the clinker planking. Of course, none of the four have the same dimensions. The drawings and photos are partly used to determine the "right" location. The dimensions between the wales are also taken into account for future painting works. According to Mary's remains, the Wales certainly continue as far as sector 10 (the penultimate cannon port) "penultimate" A new English word for me (hopefully Mr. Google translate is correct 😳) After applying these wales I have to read my books and think first. The "frames" of the rear castle are much too thick. And the clinker planking on the transom also feels wrong. This means extra sanding and cutting, probably a redo and a smiley. Thanks for following

    indeed. There was also a VW kubelwagen and an NSU kettenkrad. They were fun to build.

    You didn't screwed something up. I had the same problem in the 80's.

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.
