    The 6 X 6 chassis deserves some better pictures. And the Boxer is painted in the standard NATO colors (Tamiya) Thanks for following

    Thanks everyone for your interest A dummy plywood "keelplate" is made. This showed that the mutual distance between the bulkheads was too great. So everything has been disassembled and the intermediate supports have been made 3mm narrower. The new arrangement is now in proportion to the keel, stern, stem. The shape of the front and rear bulkheads don't look right on sight (i think). I used the drawing from the book Anatomy of the ship (AOTS) and It looks if these are "taken" from MR Noblest Shippe (MRNS) The AOTS scheme has 12 frames. The MRNS has also detailed "sections" and frames. That is why the drawing of the sections (MR noblest shippe) has been enlarged by 200%. I spent a few hours at work today at the engineering department...😇 The intention is to make masters with these to check if the shape of the bulkheads matches with the sections. This will also help to determine the position of the decks more easily. The deck of the cannons is open (a real deck, no holes in the hull with dummy cannons) @Ondras71 This is indeed going to be a large model. @Veszett Roka The keel will consist of 3 pieces from 2 different types of wood. The idea is to install it first.

    I think this kit is almost as OLD as me. Forgive revell these little mistakes.

    Vasa is 50 years younger than this model. The difference in ships between about 1570 and 1620 is immense. Vasa has sometimes been used as an example for this model, but not for belaying pins. Vasa indeed had belaying pins in the beakhead. But, an old saying : "Eén zwaluw maakt de lente niet " Just seeing one swallow doesn't mean spring is coming...

    All the frames are sawn. The idea is to build the hull upside down. I've never done this before, something new to try. The frames are clamped onto the buildslip. These are not yet fixed on the plate, This setup is to see if all my drawing and sawing work is correct. The result is not bad. Actually better than expected. These drawings are also enlarged. For now, it's still Chinese to me. But again something new to learn.

    Thanks all for the comments 👍 Long tima ago, when I only made military models, and almost no new models came out for a while. I sometimes made a batch of a whole series of scratch models. Not 3 or 4 or.. at the same time, but sometimes more than 10 Some pictures of Hotchkiss, Renault and German converted Somua half tracks. And the chassis of the 6 X 6 is ready

    Next builds, 3 kits from Revell. They will all have the same camouflage scheme GTX Boxer GTFz A1 7 ton MAN 6X6 truck 10 ton MAN 8X8 truck Revell kits at this scale are well detailed, with clear instructions and very well cast for a very good price. The Boxer box, parts and instructions history So the instructions are very good, but I never follow them. After years you have your own method of building. Building the Boxer went without any problems. ready for painting The MAN 6X6 is next Box content instuctions History to be continued

    Thanks 1/87 wow, that's a challenge

    Thank you

    thanks, Build an M1, Maybe someday. But having built more than 1450 models, this has become such a routine job that I will probably switch completely to ships.

    This model is cast in the colors of our Belgian flag. I didn't know we had such modern spacecraft in our arsenal 😇 🤣

    Last update, the Olympia is ready. Thank you all for following the Opel assembly line. 😉 A M4 high speed tractor from Hobbyboss is also ready Thanks for following likes and comments

    First thank you for all the attention. Much appreciated. The link to the "Russian" Mary rose model is bookmarked, thanks Jan. After all the 12 frames are drawn, plywood is first roughly sawn to size. The drawings are glued to the plywood. And, ready to sawn the frames. But given the outside temperature is now between 0 and 5 degrees. After 1 frame my fingers were a bit frozen 🥶 So, for now, I will switch back to my military modeling in our heated kitchen.

    There was a terrible storm, and I lost it... 😇

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.
