    It took a while for my poor mind to understand all this 😉 Ingenious system, a nice tool

    Great work. Congrats with this nice model 👍

    Gluing wooden blocks between the frames should indeed solve this problem The blocks must be correctly sawn at 90°

    You make me curious... about what's next 😉

    Photo's upside down, and nothing helps... Reduce the size of your photos, that should solve the problem.

    The futtock shrouds (indeed, the further you go back in time, the less you can do wrong 😉) I chose to place an eye bolt with hook. More work to make eyebolts but easier to mount the rope to the deadeye. The build of kirrill's Spanish Galleon was very helpfull https://modelshipworld.com/topic/6262-spanish-galleon-1607-by-kirill4-lee-plastic-1100/?do=findComment&comment=182546 Replace one ratline with a futtock stave. It wasn't uncommon that there were still ratlines above this futtock stave Work in progress ready And work started on a display stand Thanks for following, comments and likes.

    Completing the fore stays The forestay from the mizzen mast is replaced by a served one (looks better) Mizzen main fore Mast top Next item the shrouds of the top masts. As always, think first, then act. And maybe redo them...😉 ???? difficult choices... My example (Vasa) may not be that reliable in this rigging area after all Since few or no iron objects were found, they also had to search and guess. Great info about 17th century rigging (free download) https://nautarch.tamu.edu/Theses/pdf-files/Corder-MA2007.pdf Thanks for following

    Same problem for 16th century ships 😉 And, that's why my next model is probably a coca. A lot of free thinking and a lot of room for interpretation. I think there is a lot of difference between a cog and a coca

    Rodolfo has already done a lot of research

    The position of the pump is probably correct. A capstan cannot stand on this upper deck (then the rudder can no longer turn) Probably ther was only one windlass in the forecastle for lifting the anchor and the main yard.

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.
