    There are regulations for the thickness of ropes on Dutch ships from this period. But I haven't found any records of these ropes. I was in Amsterdam last Saturday at the Maritime Museum and took this photo there. Too thin is better than too thick, I think.

    High-tech equipment 😉.

    Good luck, i follow. Another statenjacht build https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/statenjacht-ad-1678-hans-groenenberg.293584/

    Finishing the leeboards. Part of this project was to try out new techniques for me. I've discovered that copper and brass aren't my thing. The heads of the copper nails are also too large for scale. So, I removed the copper and continued with polystyrene sheet, strip, etc. The result: the painted version with plastic fittings.

    Thanks. The axle of these leeboards was also horizontally adjustable. Moving them forward or backward affected their operation.

    The "zwaarden" in Durch (English: boards??) The kit parts are very basic. So, new ones need to be made. The attachment points on the hull. Painted Utrecht replica Model The new "boards" under construction

    I think your blocks are positioned wrong. Rotate 180°. Otherwise, nice work. Good

    Needed a little break from the Mary Rose. So, the Corel yacht is back on the workbench. First job: adding some more decorations. Work in progress Ready Figurehead painted and installed (looks like Lady Godiva...) .

    Thanks for the likes and comments. I don't know how long the break will last. As i don't have a plan or a schedule to follow. Sometimes I have to think first and build it in my head before I can continue with this model.

    The fore castle is painted. The painting scheme on the back has been adjusted to more closely resemble the Anthony drawing. Things to consider: How to properly glue this forecastle to the hull. There's no room for a knight to hoist the yard of the fore sail. This build is now currently on hold; i'm now temporarily working on the yacht for the Amsterdam exhibition.

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.
