    If you stop your galleon now.Then there is a chance that you will not start again. I would finish this first.

    the 70s 80s solution from Heller. the modern solution "a la" John McKay What an "English" method does on a French ship is not clear to me

    That's why this build is going so fast. Each morning an early wake up call by supervisor Roland 🤣

    indeed, it's not a race. Take your time. This will be a great model once finished 👍

    Good idea Druxey But, I can't work with copper and brass. I have new artificial lenses in both my eyes (cataract surgery). One of the side effects are halos and after 9 years I still suffer from them. Small shiny objects shine so hard under a lamp that I can't see what I'm doing. Small blackened iron nails are just about to succeed. All other "metal" objects will be made in painted plastic. It is what it is. There was no turning back after the surgery And, me, a military modeller. A little rust here and there...😉

    Drill 2 holes and use 2 pieces of cable. nobody will notice this once the model is ready. a hole in the bow where the anchor cable enters the hull. a hole under the windlass where the cable comes "out". I used this trick in my Bounty project (see link in signature)

    Tanks for the comments. This is much appreciated 👍 The idea is to apply the iron nails and the treenails.And not to paint the hull white below the waterline. The original MR may have had white stuff below the waterline.But this has never really been investigated. There will be no whipstaff on the tiller in this era.

    To everyone who missed the start, welcome. Finishing the planking on this side. One strake has a weird shape to the stern. W.i.p. The last streak One side is done, and received a sanding with 60 grit sandpaper. And not upside down Thanks for following, comments and likes

    The model is starting to look nice. The deadeyes with chains are great. Congrats

    Of the current artists, Ferrus has skipped little or nothing

    Do not worry. There will be the fore castle of a carrack. In the version as on the cover of the book.

    Wow, problem solved 👍 thanks

    If I open MSW on a PC I can see the signature at the bottom of each post. When I open MSW on my smartphone, I don't see any signature at the bottom of each post. This applies to my own posts and those of others. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to adjust settings. I've always had this problem, but always forgot to ask if there is a solution
  23. Baker
    Thaks. You were probably very busy with the Henry 😉 Always welcome Steven. And if you see something wrong, just give a call

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.
