    Just an idea I would fill the bow with filler blocks first. That will work much easier for planking

    The running rigging of the spritsail is ready. Although not in use, all necessary ropework for this sail should be in place. Paintings and drawings from this era served as example. current status Next to do, the fore sail

    Considering there is little or no reliable information for this period. I always look at which method was most common in drawings and paintings. Example: painting the sides of the hull (the arrows were the most common). This also applies to my rigging.

    No problem. Both Source (Yes, a carrack, not a galleon. But the principle is the same)

    Nice sails. My idea was to attach 3 to the fore sail and 5 to the main sail See Link to post 643 in Pelican build

    While searching through old photos I found this one. A much younger me and a Tiger tank. La Gleize Belgium 1992 Link to the museum http://www.december44.com/en/the-museum.htm

    Continue with the rigging of the spritsail Added some rope coils. And some blocks that are not in use because the spritsail is stored. Also added a bucket Spritsail and yard ready And in position. The idea is to tie it up (yellow line). My experience with sailing is minimal (1 trip with little wind and calm water). But what I have learned was: everything that is loose starts to swing around and cause problems later.. Thanks for following

    Nice work. But don't forget that Vasa wasn't painted blue (as recommended on the billibgs instruction) but red

    Finishing The model has a little dry brushing of light grey and a little wash of thinned black. The original was only a prototype and never saw service. In the role it was designed for. A mobile observation Post for artillery (in this case the AT-1) Thanks for following this build.

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.
