The name is now complete. And planking is done on both sides. Further planking at the stern is for later. Now this part of the hull will first be further detailed (treenails, etc.) 2 plywood bulkheads remain present, so the model can easily remain upside down for further finishing. The strange piece of wood on the bow is just a temporary reinforcement so that the top part of the stem doesn't break off Thanks for following, comments and likes

The wale 3 problem has been solved. This now has a more flowing line towards the bow. The front cannon port has also been modified. Like ports 2 through 6, is the opening now to just below the wale. The letters of the name are also coming together well. Starting with an easy one And then the difficult one Mary (without Rose )

Great models And

The ships stand is ready, currently with a temporary name on it. the planking above wale 3 went quite smoothly. But, The frame of section 1 is strongly bent inwards at the top. And the stem is straight at the top. This result is an unnatural shape of the hull So, removing these planks and start again for attempt 2. The advantage of PVA glue is that it softens again if you carefully apply isopropyl alcohol to the glue seams. The planks can then be removed fairly easily. Surgery... Attempt 2 : better But... I think I tapered the planks between wale 2 and 3 too much. Wale 3 currently has no smooth line. I'm considering attempt 3 (this means more redoing)

First, congratulations on this beautiful model. To add a lantern or not, difficult question. This is how I made my lantern. (Post 24)

No a post about progress, but solving a "wale mistery". In a previous post I was annoyed by the strange shape of the wale. well, solution found. the notch at the top does have a reason. This prevents water on the wale from seeping in between the seam of the wale and the plank above it. Source : Het statenjacht Utrecht.

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.
