    I join others, your work is admirable!

    I got the planks and wood for construction from the Czech model maker Petr Šimek. Light cherry, dark cherry, maple ..

    Working with paper plans isn't exactly easy, but in the days before computers it was as well the only way.. The paper ribs really needed adjusting, making the radius accurate.. I transfered the modified shapes back onto the ribs. I transfered the heights and the shape of the deck and then deducted future planking.. I thought about a way of gluing the body of the galeon's hull, so that it wouldn't twist. I decided for a reversed variant, where the ribs stand in exact height on removable parts.. Finished paper ribs and keel are now ready for gluing on 6mm plywood and carving it..

    Hello. Golden Hind is my favorite galeon, but Roter Lowe has won, because it is bigger .. I'm looking forward to building and watching all the similar buildings, including yours .. Only the Holad boat is a bit different from English, which attracts me ..

    Thank you for your welcome here. I have books ready to support the construction : Wolfram zu Mondfeld - Historic Ship Models Rolf Hoeckel - Risse von Schiffen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts Herman Ketting - Prins Willem Wolfgang Quinger - Wappen von Hamburg Beginning "from scratch" is a bit different than a modular one, there is a lot to save and spoil.. As I said, I first created a paper half of the hull.. When laying a rail, some ribs really do not fit.. So I varnished the edges of the rib and there will be more grinding and adjusting . So treated ribs will be a template for plywood ones ..

    My previous construction of a kit.. ..is coming to an end, so it's time to start with a new one... Another construction I'm starting is scratch build, I've decided for a ship from the 16th century, a galleon, which I always liked, specifically 1597 Roter Lowe.. I've had the 1:60 plan at home for many years, it's a copy of a well-known German plan.. The scale is close to fifty, still very detailed and mainly the ship hasn't got much decoration, which I do not dare make yet. I'm leaving 3D aside, I hope paper plans will do.. Right from the first comparison of copies of the two side elevations, I came across different front ligament shapes.. That's also why I decided to create a cardboard half of the hull and check the crossing of the ribs, and then do the plywood frame..

    I clamped the last control ropes of the mizen mast sails and the main yards tackle .. Again I have to pause over the functionality of the rigging. Everything works and after tying, "it" doesn't move a bit... Further measurements with harder currency ..
  8. Ondras71
    I'm finishing the rigging, most of the control ropes of Mizzen mast sails already tied.. And other ties and rope roles .. A little coin measurement..
  9. Ondras71
    Placed Mizzen topgallant sail .. The construction will soon be over, I'm stretching the last ropes and only the stern lantern is to be done..
  10. Ondras71
    Placed driver.. ..and rear topsail .. View of the ship after five years of construction ..
  11. Ondras71
    Thank you very much Don. Created driver with yards..

    Congratulations! A beautiful build. Ondras71

    Great job of marsalv is badly looking for competition here .. O

    Created yard tackles.. The last sail sewn- driver.... Finished flags .. Flags placed ..

    Greetings. Your ship looks beautiful. I inclined to place the yard on the masts equipped with all the blocks, ropes and sails as if they were a real ship, then everything can be adjusted as needed. And I would still think about the strength of the ropes used, the first on your ship are visibly weak .. !! There are tables here, like here: http://www.goldenhind.ru/calc.php
  16. Ondras71
    I hold my thumbs to repair the kit. Photos have a small resolution, but the stern looks great. Have fun! O.
  17. Ondras71
    The main loading hoist is hung .. Added the front and main mast rails. More rolls of rope..
  18. Ondras71
    The scale of this kit is the only downside, otherwise it is a beautiful boat. I wish the construction to continue ..
  19. Ondras71
    The rear mast is not yet fitted..
  20. Ondras71
    Placed lane ropes ..
  21. Ondras71
    Sails placed on the main mast .. Halyards of the courses .. The last flags to make, the finished heads of roller masts .. Template for the production of snap ..
  22. Ondras71
    Thank you Mirabell61. The pursuit of realistic rendering on this scale is really challenging, it doesn't always work out ... The sail control ropes tied to the fasteners, the rope sticks will be placed later.. Placed staysails between the front and the main mast..
  23. Ondras71
    Nice kit for a non-traditional ship. I'll be building with interest to watch.
  24. Ondras71
    Shroud truck.. Created Topgallant parrels ... Hung Topgallant sails ...
  25. Ondras71
    Thank you very much S.Coleman, I'd also like to rebuild parts from the beginning of the construction, but a new model will be better ... I used the node to tie the rope according to the Royal Caroline monograph...

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.
