    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.

    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.

    Thanks Steven. Gobsmacked, a new word for me. Is this "Australian" English ?

    yep, after 42 years of working in the metal and chemical industries. And 8 months of military service in Germany with the Belgian army. I have a constant buzzing and ringing in my ears. If you made a comment about a noisy environment you got this answer: You get used tothaat, after a while you don't hear it anymore... 🙉

    Next, The further finishing of the cannon deck. And start building the basis for the waist and the fore castle. There is also a cabin at the front. The crew of the (optional) cannon has a lot of space again... The sloping side of the cabin will later serve as a basis for a staircase I run out of wood supplies. So the men from the sawmill were put to work (me...) There is material of 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9mm thickness back in stock. Thanks for following

    Continued with the planking on the rear castle. Frames 6, 8 and 10, which served as the basis for the rear castle, were too thick and were therefore made thinner. I used the easy way, put the saw in and start sawing. the stern is provided with the necessary holes for the tiller, etc. The frames were too wide at the top and would cause problems later with the schrouds. The simple way, tighten with an iron wire. 1.8cm less wide at the top, and "schroud test" ok 👍 The rear castle is now temporaly on hold. Sanding the clinker planking and the interior is for later (outside the house...)

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.
