Daniel The deck curvature in two directions is great..... Guess there will be a planking path above the horizontal leg-parts of the wooden knees, later on, where the guns are running on... lovely work, Nils

many thanks JPAM, I`m very pleased that you like it. The credit also goes to the late former builder of the model. My input was to bring the old lady to life again Nils

Thank you very much Christian, yes, it was my aim to model different types of ships and scales. The Zeesboot in scale 1:24 is momentarily my current work in progress still waiting for deck-planking, rigging and sails Nils

Progress status.... after achieving a tall and narrow white book shelf yesterday on Ebay, I removed the books from the lower portion on of the "Eagle of Algier`s" sideboard. The "Hjejlen" now fits into the free space compartment with it`s glass case, as if it were made for this. I have now 7 glass cased models in my working office, the 8th one "Gorch Fock" 3 mast barque and in lack of space, had to move upstairs to it`s new mooring place for display.... Nils

Yeah Yves, The bench-legs should have been shortened, now its too late, would be a too great surgery. Earlier one of the benches came loose and dropped onto the carpet, no problem with that, but I did`nt pick it up immediately, and you can guess what hapened, I forgot that it was still laying on the carpet and under a nasty cracking noise, that was it....... It took me some hours to mend that bench, so I`ll leave my fingers off it in the future. The ships boat is in a scale that suits the figures in a better way. It takes some painting and rigging under the davits by means of double sheave block tackles. Together with the 2 liferafts the capacity will be adequate Nils this is the 14 mm dowel I made the connection pedestal / baseplate from, it works well the ships boat is a 123 mm long Kutter from Aeronaut in scale 1:50 together with 2 oars

Hi Yves, thanks for your comment, I´ve been expecting a comment on the seated people zise. Usualy Preiser is my first choise, here unfortunately neigther 1:48 nor 1:50 scaled seated figures were not offered or not on stock. I can live with the substituted figures I finaly chose in scale 1:43 resp. 1:45, and was after receipt disappointed that even these were a bit too small in comparism to 1:50 regular Preiser ones. (if they had been available ) Nils

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.
