    I have an Einhell And am quite satisfied, saw all the wood for my Pelicane with it. The rough work and the accurate work.

    Thaks for the nice comments. Making this figurehead was so much fun that I finished it first. First an idea of what i should become Wings in pencil Wings carved feathers carved and start loosening the piece of wood Need plastic surgery (CA glue) carving ready a base coat of white painting in progress painting ready and dry fitted used tools and paint the figurehead is not yet glued on. There is still too much chance to damage it during the further build Thanks for folowing, likes and comments

    This model was mainly used for close infantry support. A steel helmet is then not an unnecessary luxury if you want to look outside.. And 2 sets of spruces : lucky you, extra spare parts for free 👍

    A figurehead. Backer's very first attempt at wood carving. In the 16th century, I don't think anyone in England knew what a pelican looked like. The sculptor took as an example a duck with a strange beak ... And probably this ship didn't even have a figurehead. The first part of this build happened outside (nice spring weather). And the weird way of clamping has a reason. Good at eye level and I don't have to bend over. Uses tools : A piece of cherrywood, jigsaw, Stanley knife, sandpaper and files. The "pelican duck" gets some shape. Hopefully it will look like a real Pelican someday Thanks for following and likes

    Belaying pins and staghorns. First, this post is more to say that I was probably doing wrong things. The parts mounted in the previous post have been partially removed. Belaying pins. Presumably these came into use slowly in the early 17th century. But, maybe a few will be placed into the beakhead. Staghorns Hopefully these came into use earlier because I'm going to apply them. If I can't use belaying pins. To what do I tie my ropes? All I can think is a methode like this. Wooden rails (n° 103) and staghorns (n°72 and 75) The sheets of the lower sails (n°46 and 48) will go to the staghorns Adding the rails in progress and a staghorn almost ready (And I forgot a little bit of paint on the left) Thanks for following

    Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks. By the time these guns are loaded and fired. You are already far, far away Building something I don't know the English name for ( i don't really know the Dutch name either ) Looking at drawings and paintings of this era, the ropes of the mainsail and foresail usually pass through the railing (hull) at these places. So, i make something like this glue pieces painting assemble Drill a 1 mm hole increase the diameter of the hole to 2mm. So it does not splinter on the outside. The pieces for the outside (The first test piece was unsuccessful) Painted and assembling quality control. If this can go through, then the rope will be able to pass through at a later stage Ready Thanks for comments, likes and following

    nice stuff.

    You might find advice here Glue (filler)blocks between the frames is perhaps the best idea.

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.
