    Did some And added pinrails

    Indeed great work. Instructions that come with these old kits are not always clear. Working on an old Corel kit, the instructions actually stop as soon as the hull is planked. After that there are 2 drawings and an Italian text... exciting 😇...

    Grooves have been milled into the winch, which provided more grip on the winch Reconstruction of a new scratch build winch with "new" supports from "leftovers" construction of the handle which can block the winch Winch ready, chimney in progress And some further detail

    The general rule for metal is 5000 divided by the diameter of the drill in mm. Source: Mechanics lesson in the 2nd year of technical education... (in 1978) 😉 Wood may have a higher speed, but the 5000 rule is also quite ok in this case. Nostalgia

    Nice work 👍

    I have also experienced this. Drilling by hand sometimes gives problems and small drill bits break more easily. I am really happy with the purchase of a Proxxon machine and the flexible drill head.

    Secure the carriages with a screw... A bit over designed, but effective 😇

    Started painting The red paint first got some gray drybrushing. Then the decoration around the cannon opening was painted yellow with a gold drybrushing on top. The parts of planking that are not white, black, or otherwise colored. Are provided with some "wooden" treenails (toothpicks) The wails of "bolts" (head pins) And the plank between the wails of "nails" (fishing wire) I also started painting on the decoration, the PE parts that were included with the kit for this were a to be painted.... Base color red, decoration yellow, and over the whole a drybrushing with gold color, I really can't do better. Also started on the winch Kit parts improved part

    That's why I always have a small side project in between I "relax" here for a while, and then...back on the road Again.

    I also started a yacht. As a side project. It seems that the Dutch yachts have a different hull shape than this one (and mine). Correct? Or imagination 🤔. And you build faster than me 😉

    And if you "open" the cannon port a bit more upwards, you won't see that your hinge has no hinge point. 😉
  23. Baker
    Maybe a smaller eye bolt 😇

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.
