    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 ..

    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.

    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..

    I think the problem was with starting by following the kit accurately, e.g. wide deck boards and gaps between them. After that, I started studying more. But I'm still happy as it is. I also found out that little would be enough to make the kit more accurate, but the manufacturer probably doesn't want that or it would be too expensive. Thank you very much for your feedback!

    Hello. I was also dealing with how to make clean edges on the gunports. On the internet i found a simple way of hand-making this. I mark the ends of the boards with a hole-shaped cork, cut it out roughly and then grind it with sandpaper on a strip. After some testing, it works.... I use the Proxxon TG 125 / E front disc grinder to grind the board ends. If needed, I slowly turn it by hand taking less material... O.

    Thank you very much Louie da fly.. I continue laying planks between gun ports, but it's very slow.. I received brass material ordered from http://www.litomysky.cz/mat/mso.htm I ordered a 0.2 mm sheet, tubes ranging from 0.3 to 1 mm and wires from 0.2 to 1 mm. Material is great.. The first door hinges are made..

    Before placing the curved planks, make a paper form, according to it bend the boards sideways and then according to the hull. do not create a clinker surface .. it's a wonderful job. You are going very well! Ondras.

    Very nice and original building !!! O.

    Doors placed in frame, frame bent over a template, wood shortly boiled in water .. First attempts to produce fittings. 0.2 mm brass sheet out of frames from accessories from HiSModel.com .. Still thinking about having the fittings etched, the result would definitely be better, but maybe after trying longer I'll manage to make it ..

    Thank you! Presentation of the building with music here:

    While drying the planks I started making doors. Soon I will need first ones for the mirror. I was so into it, that I also made all the door wings and prepared a form for frame bending.. O.

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.
