    seems like a challenging model to restore

    The only grating from the 17th century that "remains" is probably that of the Swedish (Dutch built) Vasa. I think you see in the photo a combination of what @allanyed represents. 16th and early 17th century grating is varied. What it looked like later in the Victory era, no idea. And if you want to play it safe, hathes and no grating 😉

    Welcome back I did the trick with the pva glue too. With diluted PVA glue and smeared both sides of the sail

    I do not think this model is intended to put masts on it. see link https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/model-shipways-confederacy-MS2262.html

    First a non Ship related item. Recently my photos are reduced with this tool. The first time you use it is a bit of searching, but after a few times of practice this goes pretty smoothly The length / width ratio can be found in the MR book by Haynes (thanks to Chapman 👍). There is a waterline drawing in MRNS. It also shows the positions of the sections on the keel. This drawing is enlarged and hopefully these water lines will fit Bulkheads whose position corresponds to the sections in the MRNS book are adjusted. The MRNS book sections (black) are in place. The intention is to use the water lines to bring the remaining bulkheads into a better shape The difference in bulkhead 11 and section 10 is here good to see Very early at this stage, designing flags Thanks following and the advice

    thanks, I've already had the idea of buying an airbrush. This gives better results. But when I started this hobby in the 80's an airbrush was quite a big investment for me. plus that all my military models are built on the kitchen table is also a minus. I can't see myself spraying paint in the same room where we cook and eat. In addition, I'm phasing out my military models (I have a dozen more to build, and that's it) So no need for an airbrush anymore.

    So that's how you build your model so fast. Working with subcontractors. cheating 😉 ps, great work

  21. Baker
    Thanks, And thank you for teaching me how to make flags 👍
  22. Baker
    If you want to print flags. I liked this technique. you can use the flags in the Excel file, you just have to reduce the size.

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.
