    As some of you know me...... let you guess...... I did not like it. The final result was not that good. Mono color and it did not look natural. The real thing was bamboo slices...... So I decided to go for a new tryout.... Lighter and thinner cardboard.... Some vinyl paint.... Cut it in 1 mm..... Then...... Definitely looks better and.......... Look at the bamboo 1:54 scale...😁....... I finally found the way to simulate the bamboo...... 1. Some brochettes bamboo sticks 2

    Some other fittings I am working on are the “tents” that I’ll put on the deck. According with some photos..... Some other fittings I am working on are the “tents” that I’ll put on the deck. According with some photos..... Looks that these elements are built with some kind of wicker..... also according with Nick in this particularly zone of China this wicker has the pattern that the picture has. Instead of “plane weave”.... Should be “twill wave”...... I just found some “old style” envelopes cut the 2 mm strips and

    Yes. I learned a lot. Now ..... a lot of work to do

    With the expectation to have a happy ending 😀 thanks for your comments

    At the same time, I’ve been doing my research about some fittings........ Sails...... The junks sailing is as most of you already know, are something that make a junk a real junk 😀. You can see a lot of different styles..... some examples Most of you. (Included me) would think that there will be no difference about whatever I choose...... BAD NEWS !!!! NONE OF THESE ARE CORRECT!!! Let’s try to explain it..... The sails by this era according with the archeologists suppos

    Don’ even think I abandoned my project!!!!!😊.... Thanks to you all for “pushing me” to the excellence. Since you are following this project, I’ll always do my best to fulfill your expectations and of course mines too. It is been a real challenge moving forward with the bulkheads...... so far 9.... The difficulties that I’m facing now, are that since this hull is planking first, the form is not that “perfect” so it is really necessary to finish the bulkheads/frame first in order to continue with the planking. I actually realize that there are some misaligned frames that will

    Thanks Tony it is being really a challenge. Thanks for your support

    Next step.... the mast footstep..... Fists I had to replace the bulkhead number 6.... this is the equivalent to the master frame. And start to investigate how the masts system were by then. Definitely the system was a TABERNACLE which means that they were able to lower it with a pivot-pin.... like this but according with the findings the Quanzhou did not have neither the belaying bit nor the pull rope so..... should be like this... Let’s see one picture.... In this one, we can see the main mast step and the

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.
