    Continue with the construction of the mastops. This is more thinking time than construction time. The intention is to make something with these as examples. (Start at the top left clockwise Mataro model, Vasa, Mary Rose, Vasa) An uninvited guest at the shipyard ... Adding the main "supports" as on the Mary Rose. Making the "upper ring" from several planks Glue the ring to the supports. Still a lot to do Main mast top under construction, fore mast is following. Thanks for following.

    The original tracks of the FT17 (French) and the 6ton (US) were made of steel, no rubber parts Later, after WW1, some test models were made with a new wheel system and rubber "tracks".

    Today a major event. The very last update An empty space ?? Sold the Vasa model due to lack of space in the hobby room (And once a ship model is finished, I lose my interest in it) This model was a very educational experience. Had a lot of fun , and even made money on it. Maybe one day I'll build a second Vasa in scratch. Thanks for following this

    Very beautiful work

    The way to join the ends of these tracks is quite fragile indeed. Much depends on the quality of the rubber. I usually glue them directly to the wheels with CA, and cut them to the correct length at the end of the assembly

    If we look at this complete drawing. Life on board of a 16th century ship was fun.... 🙈 Eating, drinking and the "other pleasures" in life. The only one who looks serious is the captain.

    Building the mast tops Mast tops The size ?? In this era you will find all sizes : small, big, high, low. Looks like 2 armed soldiers or sailors should have enough space in it. And the "supports" under the mast top are usually longer than the bottom diameter of the mast top (white arrows) The top of the main mast is usually slightly larger than that of the fore mast. First did some testing with paper before buildig the "baseplate" I first do the main mast until the base plate is ready, and then do the same with the fore mast. Thanks for following

  24. Baker

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.
