    Thank you very much Allan and Steven. The lion has a shape.. ..in base color.. ..polished, now I have to fine-tune shapes and details..
  2. Ondras71
    I finally found time to shape a lion. I studied carving a bit, a little lion anatomy. And he started. Workplace supplemented with photos of a Lion replica Batavia.. Beech is probably not an ideal wood for carving, but the figure will be painted, so maybe it doesn't matter so much. I had no other hardwood. Gradual shaping of anatomy by milling machine..⚒️ There will still be a lot of shaping, but the proportions fit..🤯

    Catheads supported by knees.. And I'm starting to prepare a lion statue ... made of hard beech wood.. Just start shaping..💥
  4. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like. Catheads done.. Not everything went well, I had to create a new face .. Almost half of the ornaments placed on the ship .. I wonder if I will shade the faces. Features would stand out ..
  5. Ondras71
    Greetings and thank you!!! The production of ornaments began ... My plan was to first try to sculpt the wood and, if that didn't work, to create the sculptures out of clay. I started with wood and ....... it works. Catheads foreheads first created. Here's the face. And when it worked, I continued with the already prepared Chesstree posts..

    Thank you. I already know that a ship from this period will not have many credible sources and images. But I enjoy the building! So far, I've just waxed the balcony.. I prepared beams for catheads. I will be the first to make the most demanding. Faces on foreheads.. The first is rough. He starts to smile..

    Thanks for the like! Created the basis of the balcony. Knee production combined with the production of knees under the aft deck.. I was milling my knees. I made a milling machine from a nail. According to the Russian style, which works.. The boat went up the keel for the last time. Knees located.. Before waxing.. I'm thinking of putting the railing down at the end of the hull, it will be fragile..🤯😲

    Thank you very much Silverman. Thanks for the like! 😇 I have been thinking for a long time about finishing the connection of the front stem according to Witsen.. Replica of Barents' ship.. So I added it. The cuts were made with a 0.15 mm thick razor saw, and 0.09 mm black paper was placed.. Klinkbout will be added after grinding.. And now really a balcony..
  9. Ondras71
    Channels waxed .. Next in line is a balcony..
  10. Ondras71
    Thank you for like! Channels glued.. I created reinforcing knees. System ala marsalv...😇 The elbows will be reinforced with 0.5 mm pins. Finally wax..
  11. Ondras71
    Thank you for like! Channels. I had to measure their width so that the ropes would not rub against the railing, because what is painted in the plan does not agree. Channels secured with steel pegs.. So far dry..
  12. Ondras71
    Thank you for your input and thoughts. Building models according to plan or their historical accuracy is a dilemma that every builder must face. Fortunately, nowadays there are already enough quality plans. I waxed the railing, covered the part where there would be other equipment.. There really isn't room for a Pin Rail on the aft deck on this plan.. Preparation for channels..
  13. Ondras71
    Well-meaning criticism is appropriate, from a person with your experience, Ab is beneficial. I know from the beginning that the plan of this ship is not good, the authors drew from more sources. The pins in the side railing of Dutch ships can be seen in the pictures, I found a debate on the Czech forum and there the most detailed picture of a Dutch warship - EENDRACHT from 1655 by van de Velde, he has pins in the railing. Another warship.. So the small possibility of placing them on warships was possible !? The Dutch double deck according to the model in the book Der Hollandische Zweidecker von 1660-1670 by Heinrich Winter also has pins in the railing, here this model by Alexander Bielov.. I build the model as competitive, here the main consideration is the agreement with the plan, every change must be documented. So I'm looking for historical data..
  14. Ondras71
    I appreciate your words Hubacs and Oliver Finished railing of the poop deck.. Drilled all holes for pins in the side railing.. Can I have a question about Ab Hoving? I'm looking for information on other ties that are not on the plan. Can I use the inner railing as on other models? Or Pin Rail on the inside? What is historically more faithful? Thank you.
  15. Ondras71
    That's great news, Abe. I'm really looking forward to this tour. I envy Peter that he has already started the construction of the Vitsen pinas !! 💣💥
  16. Ondras71
    Thank you for like! So I finished the front deck railing.. At the stern are the finished pillar rails of the poop deck..
  17. Ondras71
    I continue to install the railing posts. Some parts are drilled at an angle by tilting the boat with a stand .. And I created a sailor figure to measure the equipment..
  18. Ondras71
    Greetings and thank you Radek. I won't find out on the plan sheets, everyone shows a different dimension ...⁉️ I made a compromise, 7 mm wide, which is 42 cm in fact, which could be .. 🙄
  19. Ondras71
    Greetings Petr. I am very curious about your building !!! I also plan to ..💣💥 O.
  20. Ondras71
    Thank you very much Hubacs Historian, I am very pleased with the praise from a person with a sense for detail. I created an upper mirror.. I draw the mooring places of the rigging in a low-quality plan. I used a plan from Ab Hoving's Zeehaen fluite..
  21. Ondras71
    Absolutely famous building Maty! Real inspiration !! Ondras
  22. Ondras71
    Thank you Tony The first part of the railing is finished, the system of sliding the hollow posts on the pins works.. Reinforced with long pins.. Further work, installation of the top mirror plate..
  23. Ondras71
    I work on the bent parts of the stern railing..
  24. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like. On a vertical drill, I drilled holes for the support bars of the railing posts. These guarantee the exact shape.. And he completed all the wales at the stern..
  25. Ondras71
    Thank you very much Hubacs Historian. I continue with the railing of the aft deck .. The edges of the painted strips are fragile, I will have to retouch in one place.. Rounded railing parts .. I tried the wax with which I will paint the moldings of Wales, if it does not destroy the paint with the varnish and it's great..

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.
