    Further on the standing rigging. Foremast question : What is the angle at which the ratlines of the foremastge are placed? On 2 of my "live examples", they have problems keeping the same distance from the deadeyes Looking at drawings, the ratlines are in line with the railing and the deadeyes. So we go for the latter method. Oops forgot this one (but this is not on Breughel's drawing) Probably wrong Hopefully correct Ratlines done work in progress Blocks for the main mast forestay Rope serving exercise, looks good so far Thanks for following, comments and likes

    I think that your filler is not waterproof and becomes liquid again when it gets wet. Are your wales "wet" when you glue and pin them? Otherwise you have to bent them wet first, let them dry and then glue them on the hull. The good news Wales are usually painted black on the Revenge so you will not notice much of the filler that has come through the holes. I hope this helps

    Nice model

    If I understand correctly, I want to fill in the holes the pins have made. I use Google translate, so a picture of the problem might be easier to understand for me. Why not completely plank the hull first and then fill all the holes with filler. And, I think your first wale is not placed correctly Look at the build from Jonathan Ps, Nice ships, planes and little feet 😉

    Such poorly detailed casts in such an expensive kit. Why not include resin parts or short run plastic parts (but that's my humble opinion)

    Indeed, the past weeks have been very productive. Weekly update. The ratlines are ready on one side of the main mast. Work in progress. "freshly tarred" and ready. This week most of the time went to the rope serving tool. The improvised workshop (The hay is for our goats, not for sleeping 🤣) A worn grinding disc is the basis for the drive Copper tube bearings Determine the center distance of the gears. A first test with white rope and black serving. The device works, but the operator still needs to gain more experience... My home made rope serving tool. So from now on no more excuses for not making a served rope... 😉 Thanks for following, comments and likes

    When the cannons get in the way of the cat heads then they use dummy guns at Sergal (the easiest way 😉). I am convinced that you will find a solution to this problem. On some models of the SoS there are no cat heads (on the drawing of McKay also not). But, this will probably cause problems later during rigging.

    This week has been very productive. The back stays of the fore mast and the shrouds are ready. The shrouds do not have a serving. 4 reasons The Vasa ship appears to be in doubt, only the Mizzen mast has this on one side. The front shroud is far enough back to avoid hitting the sail. As mentioned in a previous post, sometimes I get lazy. And I don't have a ropeserving tool. But since yesterday gears to hopefully make one. And Gorilla gel (The 3 gram patex tube is handy but is empty quickly). Attaching the back stays to the channel in this way turns out not to be convenient. These ropes rub against the railing. Presumably that is why this way was later not used animore and they were attached like the shrouds on the outside of the channel. In the absence of belaying pins, hopefully the ropes were tied in this way. Current status Now first try to assemble a rope serving tool Thanks for following, comments ans 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.
