    A good way to find Bounty's. Kit build logs from 1751-1800 and search in "This forum"

    The first steps in rigging. The idea is to follow the drawing and the Vasa as examples. The drawing is how it should apparently be perfect. The Vasa follows almost completely with some minor deviations. (And someone will see his work in some of the photos). Wire comes from Amati and Gutermann. 1 mm of Amati is used on the mizzen mast. 1.3mm Amati will be used on the fore and main mast. The Gutermann wire is about 0.5 mm and is used for the deadeyes. Black for the schrouds and natural for the deadeyes. A "U" bent wire was made to hold the deadeyes in the clamp First 2 schrouds. Black or naturel.. Naturel This is what the result is. The naturel rope has had a wash with thinned mat Black Knots yet be glued with diluted PA glue and then cut away the excess wires I will not continue on this before Saturday or sunday, If anyone here sees something wrong, "shoot". Thanks for following.

    Red, excellent choice 👍 Try painting the inside of the cannon ports one with black or dark grey (Only the back where you glue the canon on ). Then you create "depth" in these holes. (Start with one if you want to try this)

    Unfortunately not. I have often asked myself this question, but have not yet found a proper solution. Because I'm gonna get in trouble with my Pelican build with this.

    A small update Two hatches were made in between production of the military models. The hinges were metal color first. Didn't like this and later painted them in white and green. I also made a crown while building the Tudor rose. After hesitating for a long time to ad it or not on the model, it was also placed above the rose. And the first steps in rigging immediately went wrong 😳 Corrected Thanks for following

    As far as I have found, there are no belaying pins on ships from your period. Not on racks or in the railing. Van de Velde (Peter) was born in 1654. Suppose he only started painting ships when he was about 20 years old, then we are in 1674. Perhaps he took ships from this period as an example. It may be that this arrangement is correct in the second half of the 17th century (dont now), but certainly not at the end of the 16th century. If you build exactly according to your plan (competition) then this explanation is only informative. Then you just have to follow the plan. And you succeed very well in this Ondras.

    Looks very good at first glance

    Indeed, this was something with a lot of wheels 😉. The basic shape of the front floating tank is ready Lost my patience and switched to filler for this 🤣 The basic shape of the weasels is ready On the epoxy model they used T34 tracks... If I have to make 4 sets of tracks for the 29c. then I can also make 1 extra set for the epoxy model. Thanks for following, likes and comments

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.
