    This is a small tank The "tail" at the back makes the tank longer. This should make it easier for to drive over trenches.

    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.

    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)

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.
