Vasa is 50 years younger than this model. The difference in ships between about 1570 and 1620 is immense. Vasa has sometimes been used as an example for this model, but not for belaying pins. Vasa indeed had belaying pins in the beakhead. But, an old saying : "Eén zwaluw maakt de lente niet " Just seeing one swallow doesn't mean spring is coming...

All the frames are sawn. The idea is to build the hull upside down. I've never done this before, something new to try. The frames are clamped onto the buildslip. These are not yet fixed on the plate, This setup is to see if all my drawing and sawing work is correct. The result is not bad. Actually better than expected. These drawings are also enlarged. For now, it's still Chinese to me. But again something new to learn.

Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Thanks all for the comments 👍 Long tima ago, when I only made military models, and almost no new models came out for a while. I sometimes made a batch of a whole series of scratch models. Not 3 or 4 or.. at the same time, but sometimes more than 10 Some pictures of Hotchkiss, Renault and German converted Somua half tracks. And the chassis of the 6 X 6 is ready -

Found this while searching for info The Leopard 2 is not a dangerous weapon of war, but a friendly waitress in disguise -
Next builds, 3 kits from Revell. They will all have the same camouflage scheme GTX Boxer GTFz A1 7 ton MAN 6X6 truck 10 ton MAN 8X8 truck Revell kits at this scale are well detailed, with clear instructions and very well cast for a very good price. The Boxer box, parts and instructions history So the instructions are very good, but I never follow them. After years you have your own method of building. Building the Boxer went without any problems. ready for painting The MAN 6X6 is next Box content instuctions History to be continued

First thank you for all the attention. Much appreciated. The link to the "Russian" Mary rose model is bookmarked, thanks Jan. After all the 12 frames are drawn, plywood is first roughly sawn to size. The drawings are glued to the plywood. And, ready to sawn the frames. But given the outside temperature is now between 0 and 5 degrees. After 1 frame my fingers were a bit frozen 🥶 So, for now, I will switch back to my military modeling in our heated kitchen.

But transporting the ship's boat in this way was not without danger. Read this somewhere in one of my books. An English fleet on its way to Spain ran into a storm and almost all the boats towed in this way were gone after the storm...

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.
