Small update. One thing I have learned on this forum is. If you don't like something you've built. Remove it and rebuild it a 2nd time. Not really neat and correct. So remove and rebuild. New parts in progress and painted Better, except the visible error (arrow) Addet some black paint, error "invisible" Not entirely correct but much better. Did this on all the 3 masts. Thanks for following.

No jig has been used. Everything is done "on sight". Make the deadeyes, drill holes and put in place. For me, plastic ship model building is easier than wooden ship model building. Let's say it is something like the"fingerspitzengefühl" build up after more then 1400 plastic models.) Thanks, The space to work easily on this scale is indeed rather limited. And this space is becoming less and less as more and more ropes are added. So the hardest part is yet to come

None, i cheat First assemble the deadeyes on the right place and glue with extra thin glue (Tamiya) Allow to dry (24h !) Only after that tie it to the lower schrouds Ready

Beautiful models and a great story.

Thank you all for the nice comments and likes Some progress is made on the standing rigging I encountered a problem attaching the deadeyes to the crow's nest. The solution found is not correct as it really was, but well suited for this small scale. The photos probably explain the method better than a long text in my google translate English. Current state Thanks for following

As always great work. But, why is someone from my family glued to your model? Greetings from Backer ( My last name is De Backer)😉

Thanks, To add extra detail to these small scales, is the simplest solution usually the best. Unless an extra kit with PE and resin parts is available. (We both do not have that luxury on our models)

This is difficult indeed on this small scale. That's how I solved it with my model Btw. nice work

What I mean. These beams are too long and so come together on the deck. If the building description says so and you want to build it this way. Then you can do this. Actually, nobody wont say you're wrong (I certainly don't) I have been working on my GH for over 3 years now. Building a correct ship from the 16th century is almost impossible. No plans, of course no photos, only unclear drawings and some hull parts of shipwrecks. Only incorrectly built replicas.

Congrats. Nicely made cannon barrels. -
Standing rigging update Slow progress. Some parts of the rigging has been done 2 times. The first time bad, and the second time a little better. (instructions in the kit) Lower masts almost ready The hull is only 25 cm (about 10") long 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.
