    Bowlines, To the mast top, or not to the mast top... After a constructive exchange of thoughts with one of our members via PM. It turned out that this method is not feasible. That's why I did a live test on this model. To the mast top, comes into contact with the top sail. To the fore castle, comes into contact with the fore sail. To the beak head, no problem. Result. With the fore mast ready i took some pictures in the garden. Someone thought he wasn't getting enough attention... A moment of panic,with me, not with the cat. And get in the way 😇 Now without a cat Thanks for following

    Kit collectors want an undamaged box with the contents in the original packaging. Once built, the value drops and is difficult to sell.

    If you taper these planks at the bow (definitely one of the two) Then your problem is somewhat solved

    Thanks Steven. Lots of ropes indeed. One must have a good memory to remember the purpose of each rope . Nothing for me 😉

    The fore topsail. The information found about this sail is scarce, confusing and sometimes illogical. So the most logical method that corresponds reasonably according to drawings is followed. All these extra ropes need extra attachment points. An attempt is made to depict a sail being hoisted. Sewn cotton has its limitations to reflect this... Work in progress To do, the bowlines. At the moment it is still uncertain where these will end up. Thanks for followiing

    If it helps. Did my single planking this way ( see link to post 52) And yes my filler blocks are excessive. But this way they served as a first planking. Planking in one layer went pretty smoothly

    Congratulations with this very beautiful model. And very executed winter camouflage 👍

    The fore sail is rigged There is no tack on this sail. Reason: There is no tack visible on the majority of drawings from this period. The sheets are treated with thin CA glue. Not the best method, but that's the easiest way to keep them in the right shape. Rope coils are partially attached Rope coil production Next is the fore topsail

    No But, I do have a non-binding opinion about late 16th, early 17 th century grating (post 406)

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.
