As always, well done Corona affects all of us here. My wife is not allowed to go to work. she is now temporarily unemployed. I must go to work. The chemical industry is too important for the economie from Belgium official text : De federale overheid heeft op 18 maart bij ministerieel besluit de sector van de chemie, kunststoffen en life sciences officieel erkend als een cruciale sector die essentiële diensten levert voor de maatschappij en noodzakelijk is voor het socio-economisch functioneren van het land. (English) On 18 March, the federal government officially recognized the chemical, plastics and life sciences sector as a crucial sector providing essential services for society and necessary for the country's socio-economic functioning. Time to ask for a raise of my salary ??

Something good and something bad. Bad Flanders' Modelling Festival organized by IPMS Antwerp (Belgium). Canceled because of corona. http://www.ipms.be/New-IPMS/Calendar/Calendar.html For me the most important modeling event of the year . Just canceled our holiday to Tenerife (Canary Islands) We were leaving on monday. But the possibility that we could no longer return to Belgium had become too dangerous. Our health is more important than our luxury. Good (very good) news More time for modeling And i finnaly succeeded in Building a “cover” for the helmsman. This is actually one of the main reasons why this build was on hold for a few months. I had 2 problems to solve 1.This is where the electrical wires come. How do I make a socket here and how do I "camouflage" this socket? 2.Many drawings and almost all model kits of ships from this era show a cover. But the drawings whit this cover are almost certainly all from a later period. And almost all model kits are based on these drawings. I only find a few images from this era that show something like a cover above the helmsman. But, a removable cover is my only option to hide the electrical wires and socket Historical correct or not, iI have to build this cover. Make and insert a plug (power plug?) Tested this plug and the LED lights are still working Starting making the cover. The first part of the build was some trial and error. Once past this stage, there was more structure in the build. The false wal will be painted black Ready for painting. Painted and installed. Easily removable. Thanks for following

The cannons could be loaded from the outside. Source : https://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen._A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark A replica, but interesting about the cannons (rigging) https://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Batavia/Photos_Batavia.htm The title of this topic is confusing The mary rose is from about 1540. But information is requested about cannons from 1640 ? After much research I did my 16th century cannons like this : Greetings, patrick

Hello, and -
Good news. At the request of my supervisor, Felix, this shipyard has been restarted. He was not happy with the slow progress... Not much progress yet. I started with 3 doors, and few halyard blocks. Detailed explanation of how everything is built will follow. Greetings, Patrick

In this part of the world (Belgium) it is normal to eat horse meat and cow tongues (no donkeys ) I think that this has something to do with the past 2 world wars that we have experienced (and all the other wars before these 2 ) Then you eat what is available, or you eat nothing. Flemish saying: "Honger maakt rauwe bonen zoet." Hunger makes even raw beans taste sweet

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.
