    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.

    I had the same problem with my Revell bounty's plastic hull. Try to get the loose piece somewhere where you can see it. Then drip glue on it. Let it dry Fixed worked for me

    The yards and sails First the spritsail. When not in use, it was usually stored in the beakhead. The most common method is this one. Problem one, where do I tie all the ropes without belaying pins. Solution: right or wrong, who knows. But belaying pins in this period is probably definitely wrong How do I attach the yard to the bowsprit Not needed in this setup, but I will provide someting like a "spritsailyard sling" at the yard. Serving the spritsailyard sling And i have blocks Work at the shipyard has restarted 👍

    The finnished and numbered model. The contents of the box were not really what the drawing on the box promised 👎 It was a challenge to correct this Thanks for following this build

    This is indeed not good I think it is best that the grain of the wood of the deadeyes is in the same direction as the holes you drill in them. Think about it first before you do drastic things 😉

    I'll send them to you via pm. You need : a printer paper A4 tape time And then you have a plan scale 1/1

    Great planes! And Vasa model of course

    Nice work 👍 Great stories 👍 And learned through google what "OJT" means 😂

    i follow, great start.

    Nice start. I sometimes use a small dot of CA glue until the parts stay in the right place. And then very thin liquid glue for the stronger connection.

    Very nice planking But it is best to taper the planks towards the bow. Otherwise you could get in trouble later. https://modelshipworld.com/forum/98-planking-downloads-and-tutorials-and-videos/

    Hello! A small update after a long absence. This winter most of my spare time went to military model building(build logs in the shore leave corner), and in between i sewed the " cringles" to the sails. First, a sketch is made of how many are needed for each sail. Work in progress WE sewed cringles... The sails are finally ready, now i have to make blocks and then I can start with the running rigging.

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.
