    My idea The cable goes through hawse hole n° 33, is attached to n° 40 and is stored in the cable tier n° 25 (And certainly not use a chain) Photo and info from the book "Galleon The great ships of the armada era" by Peter Kirsch. And on my 16th century English Galleon Golden Hind. The 2 cables of the anchors will "disappear" in the 2 holes in the hatch.

    I guess that it is something you don't have to do every year 😁. Actually, it was 20 years ago and painting became urgent Made some progress and started with the deck. The finish between the deck and the frames is just the same as the deck below. First a plank is made that is glued to the frames. Supports are glued to the rear of this plank. The plank is glued and then the first 2 deck planks. The holes between the frames are closed with small planks. These are first all made separately (and numbered) and then painted before assembly. And the alignment of the "nails" in the deck planks is indeed not in line with the alignment of the deck beams. But once the deck is completely planked, this error is no longer visible.

    Great work on the dry dock (and the cross section of course). The navy sail training ship, was this the Zenobe gramme??

    Looks like a home made build of The Golden Hind to me.

    Hello, The 2nd cannon is ready. All plastic parts come from my military partsbox, plastic sprue and strips. cannon installed, together with deck beams and knees. A ladder is also built. There is not much room left therefore she is placed between the 2 doors. And: My painting job on the house is ready. I don't like to work on a ladder, i start sweating and get the shaking in my legs. ( Dutch : Ik begin dan te zweten en krijg dan de bibber in de benen ). Thanks for following

    Very nice work Fabio. In the 15th and early 16th centuries, there were indeed few ships that had a figurehead. And if they had one, then this was minimal and small.

    Thanks for the nice comments. I actually wanted to make wooden spoked wheels. In plastic this was possible, but in wood this was beyond my skills. Meanwhile : Backer is busy painting on the house A nice view from a height of about 8 meters

    Thanks Marcus After a few weeks of silence, a very short update (it is currently a little to hot to do anything) I finally succeeded in making one cannon (after a few failures) I'm going to make another identical cannon to place in the forecastle. A construction method of this second cannon will follow later. Unpainted cannon painted cannon 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.
