    Hello, The "radio car" is now ready for painting. The "AA car almost. Time to build the AA unit (Looks easy) This should be the base plate on the floor in the car... The base plate dry fitted in the car. These kits keep surprising me 🙈🙊 First do some research about this The base plate may not have been mounted directly to the floor. Or the plate is too big in diameter. Thanks for comments, following and likes

    Hello, With the main mast top ready and a smaller fore mast top under construction, it is time to think about the main and fore topmasts. In many drawings the top mast and flagpole are in one piece. A simplification of the 16th century painters or was this reality. (In one piece : about 15 Seperately : 1 ) Masts in this period could not be dismantled. The different parts of the mast were firmly attached to each other How? not a clue yet ... Mast tops Making top masts on my home-made lathe. To my surprise it worked out quite well. Determine the length The masts in the Aeropiccola drawings are quite correct in length. The length of my top masts are long enough to use both methods. Top mast flagpole separately or in one piece ( not yet decided what methode). To be continued, thanks for following.

    Interesting pdf about the 16yh century (and free to download) https://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen_A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark

    Explained very well. And in line with what I have already read on this topic. In the 16th century the so-called bow and stern chasers (usually heavy cannons) were very important in attack and defense. Boarding was the primary method of capturing an enemy ship in the 16th century

    Great work and very clean planking.

    Indeed these kits have virtually no pins or tabs to attach the parts to each other. Ideal for those who like a challenge and have some free time. A problem for those without experience and who are in a hurry. Putty may be needed some times, but I use it as little as possible. Seams and "bubbles" are sanded. Now mounting the mudguards (fenders) The suspension Cleaning the gearbox and gear lever (oops) Plan b. There will be a home build gear lever Drilled a hole in each gearbox. current status A search 👀 for extras in one of the parts boxes (These were once filled with cookies 😋) 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.
