Wayne, In a way lucky they are mounted like this and not vertically. Those knees are between two beams which actually span the breadth of three beams. It means you will need to get a few beams out ... You can then mount the knees and remount the remaining beams, for those knees support the beam in the middle.. It's not a small operation but doable ... If you plan to lay the entire deck, you might leave the knees out, but you will not be building conform specs ...

Your job really is a major intrusion upon your 'home work' It keeps us in high anticipation though ... I didn't mean 'Bob the builder' plastic hammers e.a. do not build a boats ... crativity and perseverance do ... as does Cap'n Bob the shipyard owner!!!

Hmmm, take care of yourself Sam!!! I remember myself funding the Dutch government ,,, but it deteriorates your health ... tremendously. Back to basics: The Enterprise. Looking good mate. I like your attitude towards pieces which do not meet your standards, even if it means a 're-do'. Hope to give you some more support! Missed your presence atn MSW!

Piet!!! I didn't know (for people less familliar with the Amercan colloquial, like me self): Shinding A small party, not quite full scale. Generally a shindig consists of 5-20 people hanging out at the host's house, but they may be held at other locations such as a beach. Shindigs almost always involve alcoholic beverages, usually beer. Often, marijuana is smoked as well. :o

Mark you beat me to it, it looks like a hughe sucker!!! Those last details do make it look like a working vessel Kees. Very nice finish on that mast and spraydeck. Functional improvements do not need to be beautiful, they should be practical, as shown

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.
