    Greetings SHIPSCAT. Here's another observation about building this kit. Problems started with skeleton .. I keep my fingers crossed for the building .. Maybe this information will help you.. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=100656 O.

    The deck is already in shape.. I decided to place square drains on the top deck. There are none in the plan, but all ships had them. Preparing the lath... I studied the cannons: The ones in the plan look older..😳 At the end of the 16th century, cast cannons were already used. I've found a current build of a same age replica of Barents' ship from 1595, which already had cast cannons with a carriage with only front wheels. The build is based on archaeological findings of wrecks.. http://debarentsz.nl/home/foto.html A video of awreck of aSwedish ship Mars sunk in 1564, also with cast gun barrels.. Regarding Roter Lowe (1597) there isn't much to be found, I've only found this on Wikipedia.. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roter_Löwe_(Schiff,_1597 As to all the plans in the "Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts" book, I've read somewhere that these aren't very good reconstructions..

    Carved upper gunports. Frames lined with cherries ..

    Have added another strip of planks on the side .. Removed mounting ribs of the main deck .. Grinded the sides from the inside and measured the gunports of the main decks.. O.

    The deck, repaired, now looks more realistic..👌 As a reminder, here is the old version..

    I found out, that the plank gaps are too wide. I therefore removed the deck and I'm going to use a thinner paper (0.09 mm). It is better to redo it now, than to end up having to tear down multiple decks made the wrong way.

    Finally, another ship from the turn of the 16th and 17th century. I'll love to keep watching this original construction..

    Lower deck drainage. The De Zeven Provincien reconstruction from 1665 has the drainage well portrayed.. I had already drilled the drain slope a long time ago.. The first one...

    I also love to look at a metal ship model if it's beautifully created like this ..

    Wonderful work !!! The first POF? Surely you have been doing this for many years, that ...? !!!!

    Doors were provided with 0.5 mm nails, 0.4 mm for the windows. They're also waxed .. I planked the front wall and placed windows and doors on it .. I wonder, if I should place pins or nails in the front wall aswell.. In addition, I'm preparing to drill holes for the big nails on the wales, they're on the plan but, after a closer look, in the wrong distance.. Of course I am placing the nails (studs) into the ribs, clear logic .. O.

    Work on the front wall .. Window and door in wax ..

    Hello. Here I stitched the sails according to the dimensions. All you need is an agreement.. O. https://www.hismodel.com/articles-category-23

    Small shift. I raised bases of the hips made of overlayed 2 and 1 mm spruce planks. The top edge of the railing has been drawn, polished and painted with adhesive for reliable attachment of the outer planks.. Mirror doors lined with planks... and pins placed..

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.
