    indeed. From now on, MRNS will be the first source of information to consult.

    Remark The drawing of these bulkheads are not correct in my opinion.

    Spending more and more time on my Mary Rose, a small update. The 6 x 6 is assembled and painted in the camuaflage sceme. The 8 x 8 box opened and started Thanks for following

    Testing my suspicion. After enlarging the section drawings from the MRNS book, these sections were all copied separately. A first test clearly shows a difference with the drawings (bulkheads) from the AOTS book. Grrr All these (some of of them expensive) books and in none of them you find the simple mention about the length - width of the hull. So i continue with the keel length and the beam in feet. Length keel 60,... cm and beam 23,... cm. The sections from MRNS seem to match better the 23cm than the bulkheads from AOTS 24.5cm Next plan. Making these extra bulkheads and do a better shaping of the the already made bulkheads. Better to do well now than to have problems later.

    do not know. I think the era of this ship is a transition period. from triangular to round

    The 6 X 6 chassis deserves some better pictures. And the Boxer is painted in the standard NATO colors (Tamiya) Thanks for following

    Thanks everyone for your interest A dummy plywood "keelplate" is made. This showed that the mutual distance between the bulkheads was too great. So everything has been disassembled and the intermediate supports have been made 3mm narrower. The new arrangement is now in proportion to the keel, stern, stem. The shape of the front and rear bulkheads don't look right on sight (i think). I used the drawing from the book Anatomy of the ship (AOTS) and It looks if these are "taken" from MR Noblest Shippe (MRNS) The AOTS scheme has 12 frames. The MRNS has also detailed "sections" and frames. That is why the drawing of the sections (MR noblest shippe) has been enlarged by 200%. I spent a few hours at work today at the engineering department...😇 The intention is to make masters with these to check if the shape of the bulkheads matches with the sections. This will also help to determine the position of the decks more easily. The deck of the cannons is open (a real deck, no holes in the hull with dummy cannons) @Ondras71 This is indeed going to be a large model. @Veszett Roka The keel will consist of 3 pieces from 2 different types of wood. The idea is to install it first.

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.
