    The purpose of a spritsail was to help with steering. It may be that this was still experimental during this period. With the help of the spritsail it was also "easier" to keep the ship on course. Helpfull?

    For a first build, excellent work !

    If you want to drill out the barrel of the cannons. Usually these were 6 pounders with a bore diameter of about 76mm (on this scale 1 mm looks ok). I think you have a rigging plan a few hundred years later than the GH, 16th century rigging is different from your drawings. And yes, normally first the shrouds, and then the yards

    The deck curve English Spanish

    1/72 scale Panzers in white metal from MMS models. painted more then 25 years ago with Tamiya acrylic paint. Looks ok to me

    We can go fishing with the worms for bait. In this build I will only give you an idea every now and then. It's your model and you build it There is some free interpretation in 16th century shipbuilding Some things that I don't think are right. The "stairs" on the side of the hull, never seen them on a drawing of a ship from this era The draines of the lower deck are also questionable Grating or hatches? I think : grating that can be closed with hatches

    Neat : indeed Armament ammo tank : none No The main purpose of a carrier is to transport material (weapons) and people. In theory, people and equipment leave the carrier before entering combat In a tank everyone remains "safe" inside the tank and takes part in the battle Indeed. But i think only some parts of the suspension Yep.

    Welcome back You haven't missed anything for now. This build was temporarily on hold. First finished a small plastic Bounty. Had a "light" corona attack, and defeated it Now build a few military vehicles and then we'll get back to this build.

    Next build The 10.5cm LeFH-16 auf geschuetzpanzer Mark.VI(e) and the munitionspanzer Mark VI(e) In simple english A 10.5 cm howitzer on the chassis of a captured British Mark VI light tank and the accompanying ammunition vehicle. both models are from ACE http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/558 http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/495 General history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10.5_cm_leFH_16_Gesch%C3%BCtzwagen_Mk_VI_736_(e) The myth of a modern motorized German army in 1940 is not entirely true. Only elite panzer divisions had modern (tank) equipment ( some of which were actually just training vehicles). Their tactics were more daring and modern. After the Blitzkrieg of 1940, Germany had a large amount of captured material at its disposal. All this went into the service of the German Whermacht. A certain Alfred Becker had the idea of mounting his unit's howitzers on these light tanks. They served well on the Eastern Front and were the first fully self-propelled howitzer unit in the German Whermacht. Alfred Becker's talents did not go unnoticed. Baucommando Becker (Build unit Becker) turned hopelessly outdated French vehicles and tanks into completely "new" German vehicles that made it quite difficult for the Allies in Normandy (1944) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Becker The plans and the parts Start building the two hulls. as always with short run kits a lot of flash and a lot of cleaning. to be continued

    The general shape of the model LOOKS pretty good (Google translate made an error, or me) haha 😇 I did 4 years of study and building to make a painted hull is the shape correct? Is the painting correct? With or without a balcony? with me with balcony. Correct? I still do not know.. 16th century shipbuilding, few rules, many differences, little correct information added some pdf's (all legally downloaded from the internet) about 16th century ship building elizabethan-merchant-ships-and-shipbuilding.pdf Full thesis bates.pdf Furring in light of 16th century ship design_web.pdf Princess Channel model.pdf Princess Channel.pdf red bay 2.pdf red bay.pdf scheepsbouw 16e eeuw Engeland.pdf red bay.pdf Steere-MA2004 versiering.pdf spaanse scheepsbouw werkwijze.pdf Need more info : just ask, but you will probably have to wait a little for a answer

    I follow In this era there was not much decoration on the stern. And indeed a statue of a bambi ?? This ship was intended to operate "behind enemy lines", not to attract attention. But there is little information from ships of this period. And the general shape of the model is pretty good Good luck.

    Billings's Vasa was my first wooden ship. I really enjoyed building this model
  13. Baker
    Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Just two figures, a small crate, small blueprint and it tells a full story in the shipyard (I made an attempt to put a bottle and 2 cups on the crate. But on a scale of 1/110 it did not work out very well) Dull colors and rusted copper... (Once a military modeller, always a military modeller ) No more big covid problems, but still tired quickly

    If I now add Tahiti ladies... then we have a party and then there may not even be a launch of the ship 🤣
  16. Baker
    I have the same problem, does anyone have an answer for this. The photos are on my PC and I don't have a URL Update: The photos are in the gallery. But I don't know if they are in an album
  17. Baker
    In this period they only used 1 single rope / gun door

    Final update, the anchors. The anchors of the kit. The improved version of the anchors and 2 of the 5 figures that will be used Discovered that the anchor cable i used is a bit too thick... Anchors in place This is where the build of this model ends. Friends of ours bought this kit for the kids, forgot about it in the attic, and then it almost ended up in the bin. To be built later by someone who only has experience with plastic military models Overall, I am satisfied with this little model it gave me many hours of building pleasure Photos of the complete model. To bring some life into this diorama. An inspector from the Royal Navy listens to what the shipbuilder has to say about the ship, before it is approved for service It probably didn't work that way at the time, but these 2 figures supplied with the kit were very suitable for this setup Thanks everyone for following, comments, good advice and likes

    Seen from this angle it is indeed correct. Sorry I kept you awake 🥺
  20. Baker
    excellent choice. i can't wait to follow the build
  21. Baker
    Beautiful work Rodolfo. A practical question (it can also be a stupid question) If we put bolts here Then it looks like these planks are bolted permanent to the opening in the deck. How do we then open this hatch when we have to be in the hold?

    Did some extra detail (rope)on the belaying pins. These have become almost invisible, so they were made of a simple round plastic strip. New swivel guns have also been made, simple made cannons but better than the one in the kit. To have a tapered effect parts of stretched sprue are used. extra detail. Kit cannon versus home made version The swivel gun supports on the rear deck are made too high. The guns are so high in relation to a person that they are only suitable for use as AA guns... or to shoot at seagulls Delicate moments Cannons mounted and ready for action. Thanks for following, comments and likes

    You are definitely building an A version. The hull of the G version was different and simplified to increase production. If you want to know the differences, no problem.
  25. Baker
    Good news. I knew I had a gray panther somewhere 👍 (this is a G version and not an A).

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.
