The anchors and accessories First study about how they might have looked like. Source the Gresham ship (top right) and the Mary Rose. And sketches of anchors, anchor buoy anchor david, blocks. The anchor david One of the Mary rose has been recovered. He should have remained afloat for a while after the sinking of the ship. Where it will come on this model, no idea yet. The anchors are made of 3 layers of styrene (total 2.5mm thick) After cutting, filing and sanding, this is the provisional result. The shank of the smallest is still a little too thick, I just noticed in the picture.

well done. indeed, with models like the Mayflower and the Golden Hind, no one can say you made a mistake. but you can never claim that you are doing it the right way. Haha 😉.

The "supporting structures" These are knees. Types and how to remember. Hanging knees hang one the ceiling. Standing knees stand on the floor. lodging knees lie horizontal. -

Finished. Not an exotic model. But something special, and bigger than I first thought. And probably designed by someone who had never driven an armored car. The poor driver only had a peephole on his front. What happened to his left and right he could never have seen... No more room left in the Italian WW2 corner Thanks for following, comments and likes

Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale
Baker replied to Cathead's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
thank you for explaining. It would be a mess in this small densely populated country if there were no rules. But our national "hobbies" are : avoid taxes as much as possible and to interpret the rules as broadly as possible . You can freely buy an air rifle, but you are not allowed to shoot it, even in your own garden But, If I shoot a pigeon in my garden with that thing, my neighbor won't mind. A pigeon less that dont sh..t on our roofs anymore he thinks then. And that pigeon, it goes into the soup, without feathers and intestines of course😋. ps, please don't tell anyone 🤣 -
The swivels are placed on the model. It is easier to drill these holes before applying the rigging. But without installing the rigging first I don't know where there will be room left for the swivels. Test swivel 1 Swivel guns in place Thanks for following.

Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale
Baker replied to Cathead's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Do you need a special permit to hunt where you live? Here, in Belgium, there is a rule for everything. i need a license for hunting. I am not allowed to process the killed animal myself. and for the outdoor kitchen I must of course also apply for a building permit. Rules,rules,rules 😳 in this small country.

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.
