    Have set the boardsides. I made them with some extra margin, having refined them at place. The battens have been bent before the installation. In order to install the stern I had to construct a small conductor.

    Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the history of dutch marine. But if you would find this interesting, my friend recomended me several sites, maybe you could find there the answers. https://www.heechbydemar.com/sale/list-of-sales https://www.heechbydemar.com/sale/list-of-sales My best regards Alexander.

    In order to proceed with working on the deck, I decided to finish working on the cabin interior, because otherwise it would be hard to get to it.
  6. KORTES
    I have installed the detent pins on the deck.
  7. KORTES
    Is awaiting the nailing. Before the installation of the detent pins.

    Covering the deck.

    The broadsides, in this particular case, were made from large battens. I will try making them again. I made a pattern, cut it and bent it under steam.
  10. KORTES
    I have made certain pieces for constructing broadside. The piece for the breast, for the extra strength, was glued from several pieces, because I used it as a pattern for bending battens.
  11. KORTES
    Have made a temporary holding frame for proceeding with working on the deck.
  12. KORTES
    Finished nailing. I haven’t finished refining them yet, because no matter how hard you try - there would be left marks on them, so I will finish all the refiniments before coating them with oil.

    My greetings, Marcus, Unfortunately, in my disposal I have only two sheets of plans, which i found in internet. Also lots of photos of Dutch yachtsmen are a big help for me. Respectfully yours.

    My greetings, Patrick, Thank you very much for your valuable refiniment, I would be very glad to benefit from your assistance! Only doesn't "Sperwer" mean hawk, not a sparrow? My best regards

    Preparing for the nailing.

    Rubbing strips. They were bent using the black hornbeam. I had to work on refining them afterwards.
  20. KORTES
    Thank you very much.
  21. KORTES
    Your handicraft is truly amazing!

    The final belt.
  23. KORTES
    Bended battens were attached on the edges to the frame with the superglue and fixed with stapler. Afterwards, under the steam, I bent them by the frame of the ship. The “Dutchmen” are very roundframed.🙂
  24. KORTES
    Only the first panel was set up easily, the rest had to be bent beforehand.
  25. KORTES
    Covering. The cover is made of 2 mm pear batten butt joint. I decided to start the cover from the keel.

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.
