    Update, All deadeyes are provided with chains. Found that the iron "ring" around a deadeye calls a deadeye strap. With a head, a neck and a foot. The blocks for the fore mast backstays are ready. And now working on the next batch of deadeyes. And, was there serving around the shrouds or not in the 16th century?? Thanks for following, likes and comments.

    Thanks, This is roughly the same explanation as on wikipedia and other websites. The Weasel : Designed to drive through the snow during operations in Norway. But ended up on all fronts except, in Norway

    Weekly update, I started with the chains and the shrouds from the main mast. All this actually started in June 2020, but then I realized I had to make the masts first. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/14188-pelican-later-renamed-as-golden-hind-by-backer-scale-145-galleon-late-16th-century/?do=findComment&comment=728985 Drilling the holes for the eyebolts and adjusting the channel a little bit Oops.. Miscalculated (forgot the cannon port). So, there will be 7 schrouds instead of 8 Chain and block production. All chains have different lengths. So there is a lot of fitting and measuring Chains in place Colored (mat black paint and pencil) eye bolts glued, and the 2 first schrouds ready. "Wip" The next row on the other side.

    I see this too late It is best to turn the blocks 180 ° then it looks like the rope goes around the "disk" in the block

    CA gel (i used Pattex CA gel) Received this advice and I am very satisfied with it (starts at post 556 and further) The polyester Gutermann wire can be glued reasonably well with thick plastic glue, but CA gel is better.

    Well I'm just getting started on rigging, but this is how I'm planning to do it 1 Schrouds mizzen mast 2 forestay mizzen mast 3 Backstays main mast 4 schrouds main mast 5 forestay main mast 6 Backstays fore mast 7 schrouds fore mast 8 forestay fore mast This is on a 16th century ship, but I think the general order is about the same with your ship

    Weekly update. Making blocks, hooks, eyebolts and rings. With as examples The Mary rose (16th century) blocks (general shape) And the rigging info of the La Belle (17th century) for approximately the dimensions. This is a pdf which is freely downloaded and very interesting Rigging "is very interesting" Even for Felix Nope, zzzzz... Blocks Discs ironwork "Custom made" pliers Blocks collored and ironwork soldered ropework One side in place This is what the small beam at the supports of the channels is for. The problem of not having any belaying pins. Not yet fully tied . I hope this can be the right solution ? Thanks for following, likes and comments

    Billings Vasa is not a simple kit that you can build quickly. And if you try to do that, you will regret the time and money you spend on it. free advice Try building a small plastic model. Done quickly and costs little money

    And cheap. I read somewhere that these were made from captured beds .

    Hallo,
  22. Baker
    Are "sea tourists" with experience on ferry boats and cruise boats also allowed to follow 😉. As always, a very instructive and educational build 👍

    Thanks Geert, Bought specifically for this occasion and forgot I had it. (Forgetting things, one of my corona effects ). The clove hitch, de mastworp. The forestay of the mizzenmast Made 2 bloks. Used the mold from de deadeyes as basis. Drilled 2 extra holes Then they are cut and sanded In place The "mouse" started from a piece of plastic sprue. in place Next to do are the backstays of the mainmast. But first i have to make blocks. at the moment these are "think and test" work. And we are a little more organized. My late mother's old sewing box is back in service. And my wife bought me a new tablecloth. For how long will this nice cloth stay clean ? 😇

    More smaller parts have been added. Instrument panels in the driver compartiment. And a radiator en some other small parts in the front opening. Some copper around this opening Removing parts from the resin model ( interior, exhaust) And. the wheels and tracks. current status The Weasel family is now temporarily in summer sleep. In spring and summer I will continue to build the Pelican (and gardening, cycling, walking...) This build will continue in October, November this year. Thanks for comments, following and likes

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.
