    Thank you. indeed, you are going to have to drill 224 small holes for this method. you can also use copper wire, which is more flexible. it is best to do some testing and practice on scrap pieces first.

    nice work Michael. And the removable panel is a great idea
  3. Baker
    Yes, drill a pair of holes at the top of the hatch. Baker is on holiday with only his clumsy smartphone...if the link is not correct (Post 458).

    I used 2 metal pins to keep the canon port in place actually a quite sturdy solution 😉

    i think the 4 long ones come in the middle (blue) the shorter ones in the other places. I'm not sure, this build happened a very long time ago.

  9. Baker

    Planking the lower hull, progress. I'm kind of slow in planking, the idea is to do an update on this about every 2 weeks. made an extra batch of planks. Planking transom 16th century planking is something like ordered chaos (my idea). that's why there are pencil lines and notes all over the hull and sometimes things go wrong a pencil line is drawn a simple but effective solution problem solved, the next plank will fit Current status ( ps, the wale is not as bent and bad looking as in the picture) And building this way gives a nice space under the model to organize all the tools Thanks for following

    It was a long but very instructive journey 😉 👍
  14. Baker
    Thank you for reviewing this kit. Looking forward to your build log. There will be much to discuss 😉

    Don't now, you may want to do a dry test fit first to see how it looks this way

    Thanks Jeff But it would be nice to know why they used this specific shape for the wales. totally illogical in my opinion.

    Planking (from keel to first wale) Plank dimensions Thickness : 9,4 to 10,5 cm (yes, about 4 inches). width : 23 to 47 cm. length : 1,47 to 9 m. Wale dimensions thickness : about the thicknes of a plank + 11 cm. length 3.25 to 13.8 m. scarfs between 2 wales 71 to 180 cm. shape : see further in this post.... Planking diagram green color : the 2 stealers in front and back Red color : A very wide plank at the bottom of the bow. I'm going to replace it with a less wide one, otherwise I could get into trouble Bleu color : to be studied later. Construction of the wales. For some reason they gave them a rather illogical shape. I made a scraper in the desired shape method : clamp the wood to a flat plate hold the scraper at an angle to rough shape finish with the scraper at 90° result The cherry wood bends easily After drying it is glued to the hull Planking is also started assistant is supervising Thanks for following

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.
