Using pins
Baker replied to Oddball's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Looks logical. But, Planks, wales and beams are attached with : nails, bolts ,treenails And every era has its own methods The hull of a ship from the 16th century is different from a ship at the beginning of the 19th century. If it was that easy -

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I apply this method with my military models. The maximum build ever was about 10 in scratch at the same time (the Hotchkiss H35 / 39 family). More than one ship at the same time simply does not work for me. Not enough experience with ships, I think.

A "mini" Bounty. Building two ships simultaneously is too difficult for my poor brain... So, this yard is temporarily on hold

Great work.

Thanks Lawrence. Much appreciated. Somewhere I also read the same. I think in the book " the ship" from Bjorn landstrom. Grating will be provided in the hatches on the main deck. Building a 16th century ship is harder than I ever thought... Meanwhile. The build of this little model is the cause of all the delays on this shipyard.

Thanks for the nice comments and likes Started with the standing rigging. The plastic schrouds, deadeyes and blocks from the kit are useless. My deadeyes are home made. The blocks are leftovers from an Heller kit (Soleil Royal) I built this model a long time ago and kept the leftovers in my parts box. (Lucky me !!) Rigging is done as good as possible. Scale 1/110 is rather small for my fingers.

and good luck

Finishing and installing the masts After washing with soap and water and drying, a primer is applied. After painting, placement on the deck. Level the hull in cross length. Check whether the main mast stands straight (90°) with a "schietlood" (translation English : plumb bob ??) Just a simple piece of rope and a weight. Masts and bowsprit are in place. And are drying for 24 hours. Thanks for following

Making the masts and the bowsprit. This is more work than expected. Unusable parts are removed and replaced. Holes that are not needed are filled and sanded. Bowsprit before and after Mast parts before After Work in progress Thanks for following

Thanks for the nice comments, Building and installing the longboat. Kits parts Boat build with a "mast" Hiding the ugly interior under a "tarpaulin" Ingredients : a piece of paper tissue and lots of CA glue The tissue is cut to size, pushed in the right place and completely covered with CA glue. If you do this the first time. Practice first on another piece The first time the tissue sticks everywhere it should not stick. Longboat supports Extra detail Painted, drybrushed and washed Tarpaulin tied with rope. Longboat in place and secured with rope.

Thanks Apxeos. Someone who has built more than 1400 military models. Is probably "a tankman". In the meantime this shipyard has been neglected in function of my little Bounty project. The only thing that happened the last months : The poop deck is largely planked and the LED lighting has been tested. Also, Through these months of silence at this shipyard. I'm thinking about changing the title of this log. Given the fact that making an exact copy of the Golden Hind is impossible. It might be better to delete this name from the title. Maybe "Pelican"- scale 1/45 - How an English armed merchant merchant from the 2nd half of the 16th century may have looked like. Merry Christmas and a happy 2020 to everyone

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.
