    The finished model. Thanks to everyone for the following, likes and positive comments throughout this long build This was my first time building a ship model from scratch. It was fun, and worth repeating.

    Thanks, My co-worker has started his next project. But he is also looking further ahead...

    Hi

    Baker replied to mark j's topic in New member Introductions

    And good luck with the Bounty.

    Thanks for likes and comments. Flags At first sight a successful experiment the tissue paper is taped to the standard printing paper. And came out of the printer without getting stuck. The tissue has been cut loose the flags are glued together and somewhat wrinkled. after drying overnight. Now attach these to the masts. I'm going to follow this method, it's the most common. from the book "Prins Willem" of Herman Ketting. And this man probably knew more about ships than I do. Thanks for following

    flags, further experiments. Based on a great idea from 72Nova (post 164) Today I managed to attach tissue paper to plain paper and print it on the work printer. Flags can be printed on the front and back of the (standard) printing paper. Or just on one side to be glued together. Excel is free to use vlaggen.xlsx @72Nova Thanks for the idea

    And the same method on the Batavia replica https://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Batavia/Photos_Batavia.htm Is just an idea. These holes may have served to tow the long boat See https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Anthony_Roll/Second_roll

    No faults found. Nice work👍

    The flags First some research, the "what did they look like and where to place them" Design. The only things I can handle a bit on a computer are Word and Excell. So I made design in excell. These are printed on the printer at work. I can print them there at in one time with front and back. The alignment took a while (paper, ink and labor at the boss's expense 😇.) It is a pity that this printer only accepts paper. This excel file will be posted next week at work

    Anchor cables, 2nd edition The old anchor cables have been cut off and hidden in the hole. The 2nd edition looks better than the first to me. 2 anchor buoys have been made. Like the other anchor accessories, they still have to be stored in the hold.

    And good luck with the Jolly Roger

    Thanks for comments and likes. The stove has a chimney A well-organized crew always carries some extra supplies for emergencies. Doors and wheels The little Olympia starts to take shape

    Very nice result 👍

    Thanks OC. The anchor cable : part 2. or better, plan B Looking in my Mary Rose books I found this. Thinner cables are ok 👍 And ... Cotton rope of a reasonably correct diameter This flexible thinner rope gives me the opportunity to do this way of tying Testing. Still needs to be treated and wheatered. Looks better to me.

    The interior is painted Glueing the body on the chassis After adjusting the body parts for the open doors nothing seems to fit anymore... The side that needed to be adjusted had an little accident... After a few troublesome moments, the body is ready The engine hood is mounted (with one side open) And i started a small simple Opel. The Olympia from Ace Models a quote to myself: building the small little Opel won't be that simple 😉

    ships name : Prins Willim (a Dutch VOC ship 17th century) company : Corel scale 1:100 Kit number 20125 length 735mm height 580mm width 305mm Price : somewhere between 450 and 550 euros in this part of the world. I was able to buy my kit with a discount and paid 372 euros (so,couldn't resist buying) (This is my first kit review. After reading all the rules I don't think I've done much wrong ) general info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prins_Willem I think Prins Willim (with i ) is an old dutch spelling for Prins Willem. Manufacturers info (I don't think Corel has its own website) http://www.corel-srl.it/VASCELLISTORICI.html the box first impression : looks good A map with instructions and plans info about the ship detailed parts list The plans The parts The photo etched parts parts box 1 details parts box 1 parts box 2 detail parts box 2 The wooden parts plywood frames Plywood parts for the hull plywood parts for masts, channels. and solid wooden parts this plywood in detail Keel in thick plywood and deck in thin plywood the plywood of the keel in detail the "box" with planks planks for the first layer Second layer and others nice quality The other planks are of good quality but the organization is a bit "sloppy" only 3 planks are warped The wood for masts and yards For free : a cataloge to choose the next model

    Very nice carvings and boat 👍
  24. Baker
    thank you very much Roger. The only thing that bothers me is that anchor cable. the size and shape really don't seem ok to me.
  25. Baker
    First, a happy 2023 for everyone. The anchor cable. I made this about 2 years ago. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/14188-pelican-later-renamed-as-golden-hind-by-baker-scale-145-galleon-late-16th-century/?do=findComment&comment=787113 Lesson learned. Never treat a rope with diluted PVA glue before using it, as the rope will become stiff and unmanageable. But,too late to change now. The anchors are in place and secured to the cable as best as possible. The anchor David is on deck. The crew still has to store it in the hold (after the New Year's party 😉) next flags (still experimenting for now)

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.
