    Thanks Geert, i It was nice to do some "plastic modeling"
  2. Baker
    The smaller ones fit in a smaller "handle". (see arrow) Other than that they do the same thing (for me) Ps There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers 😉

    The base plate ( with the name of ship) Tis plate is made of oak. Leftovers of course (what else 😉) The bottom is made from 3 planks glued together. With plastic 4 supports at the bottom. Determining the shape of the 2 support plates was some fitting and measuring. The support plates are ready and attached. The nameplate : Pelican or Golden Hind? Because the figure head has already been chosen, It will be the Pelican. As she hopefully looked when she sailed out in 1577. The text is first printed in Word (Old English) And glued on plastic sheet. Drilling and cutting Name and year glued on a 2nd plastic sheet Current status Thanks for following, comments and likes

    The fore stay of the main topmast. Drilled a hole (0.7mm) in the deck Put a dot of CA gel on an eye bolt and hammered it into the hole. Eye bolt in place. The single block is attached to this eye bolt. I chose a single block and a violin block (same method as the backstays) Rope coils are fitted to all stays. Still not happy with my rope coils. I know how they make. And there are many good examples of making them to be found on this forum. But it doesn't work for me (yet). And the lack of belaying pins doesn't make it easy either.

    If you need info about the ft17. Just ask. The ft17 has many possibilities.

    In German, but very interesting http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/inhaltsverzeichnis1.htm Link to the ships of the Kriegsmarine http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/inhaltsverzeichnisMarine.htm U 505 (type IXc) and U534 (type IXC40) http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/Bilderseiten/UBoote/U505.htm http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/Bilderseiten/UBoote/U534.htm

    Nice work Alan. If the sprocket teeth dont fit. I usually cheat 😇 and cut some of them off. Mostly on older models with rubber tracks as on this Airfix Centurion sprockets (link to buildlog in signature)

    Groeten van de zuiderburen.

    Thanks. I thought it was something like this. But attach a part of the standing rigging to a pin rail?? I think that is something "not done". This part of the standings is on hold for now (think first, do later 😉)
  14. Baker
    The fore stay of the fore topmast. After comparing what options there are. A lot ... 2 things are usually present. Work in progress Ready My only option to attach is to the bowsprit. Now, the fore stay of the main topmast. If I understand the English text correctly (pinrail translated to dutch is... pin rail ) Then I can tie up here. English speaking members : help, is this translation correct?? Thanks for following and likes

    I actually had the same problem with my Pelican (scratchbuild) and solved it the same way you did. Glue well so that it does not break later during rigging.
  16. Baker
    Always nice to see your painted figures. Great work OC
  17. Baker
    you look angry 😳 Relax, and enjoy shipbuilding 😉

    Very small update (Lots of things to do in and around the house). All ratlines are ready now. Only 2 more forestays to do. I have to study these first because there are many possibilities (at first sight most of them are completely wrong) and, i have to make blocks. So just a few general photos. Did also more work on the display stand. And all the hedges need to be trimmed first (see arrow) At the rear in the garden are 4 "environmentally friendly" lawn mowers that also trim the bushes around 🤣. Thaks for following, comments and likes

    I was curious about this too 😉 Nice work
  20. Baker
    Very nice work. Especially on this scale. Rigging these ships.... indeed, a complicated thing Gestald ( with a "d" on the end, same pronunciation). Is Flemish Ik heb mijn paard gestald / i put my horse in the stable Kompliziert 😉

    when can we come over 😜
  23. Baker
    The promised info, source 30 pieces made (o series) Didn't go into production (was too slow and under-armed), So did not fit into the general vision of the fast mobile panzer division Start with a wooden "mock up" Interior Exterior One survived some time in Aberdeen, but was later scrapped Mine is a VK 16.01 (epoxi resin, manufacturer?? : don't remember too long ago 😉 ) interesting link https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/143764-vk-1801/
  24. Baker
    Very nice work

    Nice start Alan If you are interested. I have some info on this type of tank. I think that only a few copies of this prototype were built and that these were later only used for training. And, indeed, I haven't built this model (yet). A gap in my Panzer 1 collection 😉

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.
