    I always build the entire chassis first and then install the wheels and tracks. Afther that the smaller parts are applied. An early Tiger I model indeed has many wheels. Complicated, but it gave a very smooth ride for such a heavy tank Making and installing wheels scale 1/1

    I was actually hoping for comments like this on the channels/chains, thanks Mark. Chains were certainly also in use in the 16th century. They have been found on at least 2 wrecks of Spanish ships (St Johns and San Juan) Both mid-16th century. My Pelican sailed in the period between these Spanish ships and the Vasa. Presumably both methods can be used. The Vasa iron bars look the easiest way to build. The chains with will have to be "home made" Ps, At the bottom of the text is written. "from wich they hold and secure twelve schrouds, wich are some sixty strand ropes". Then each shroud would be made of 5 ropes (60 divided by 12 ) . Correct??

    While surfing for info on the hatches of the cannonports I found these 2 interesting sites (1 of which is a PDF). http://www.theonrust.com/building-the-onrust1.html https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/144580044.pdf The PDF is very interesting about the channels, chains and deadeyes and is mainly about a Spanish wreck sunk in the mid-16th century off the coast of Florida Of course now comes the question about the style to follow. The channels with chains The channels with iron "bars" like the Vasa. For now I continue to work on the hatches of the cannon ports. One is "ready" as a prototype (How to build will follow later) To be continued, Thanks for following, likes and the nice comments

    Painting : See page 15 of the PDF. There is a lot of variation in this time period. If you don't exaggerate, you can do little wrong. Steere-MA2004.pdf

    Thanks, But, it should rain a little bit more. It's very dry in the garden, which is not good for the grass and plants

    I thought this was the rigging of the spar/yard (Never learned English at school ) tricing-line A small cord, generally passing through a block or thimble, and used to hoist up any object to render it less inconvenient; such are the tricing-lines of the yard-tackle, &c. Got it now...

    Are you sure about number 49, 50 and 51 (and 52?) I am not a rigging expert. But I think it is not correct that these are attached to the shrouds of the foremast.

    Very nice rigging. Especially on this small scale
  21. Baker
    Well done. They should not drill holes in your beautiful model

    While thinking about making the masts. I went looking for a wood lathe. There are lathes for a reasonable price. New or second-hand. But why don't I try to make one myself. Can't be that difficult. I thought So all my spare time on the weekend is spent in a self-made lathe. Ingredients A drill. Part of my worn out drill. aluminium profile. Bolts, nuts and screws. Time... And, to my own surprise, it worked. VID_20200525_133126.mp4 Mizzen, main, foremast and bowsprit. Dry fitted (all still too long and not at the right angle) Thanks for following

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.
