    Good morning Pete, thanks for your compliment to the scetches. Most times whilst I do them there come ideas for further impovement.... A pitty your book got damaged, but trust it will still be of great help for you. I`ve just done the two masts for mine yesterday, shaved them frome sqare to octogonal and then rounded an tapered a bit. The 3/4 mizzen can be layed flat The harnesses for the deadeyes are done and blackened, and I still have some Morope for shrouds and laceings.. It would be better, if the deck is started now Nils mizzen layed down main mast from 8 mm square, mizzen from 6 mm square

    Masterly built from a extraordinary designed kit Nils

    Good work B.E. I knew youre going to master it , great looking ! In the meantime ( my Zeesboot) I drilled 0,6 mm holes for the horizontal plank connections, widened them to 1 mm, and glued (carefully knocked in) the points of bamboo toothpicks into the holes with low viscos CA wetting. After trimming and flush sanding it now looks as if all thes connectors have been plugged off with wooden plugs Nils

    Hello Geert, congrats, I know its an exiting moment, when the shell is removed from the mold, now you certainly will be starting with the framework..... Nils

    Hi Piet, All my build logs of the last years are linked to my signature..., the last was the Chebec "Eagle of Algier" Cheers, Nils

    Fastening points for mainmast deadeyes : two shrouds at both sides are spaned with laced diam. 7 mm deadeye tackles near to the deck. The fastening points are made from 3 x 0,6 mm brass flatt (chem. blackened) with a loop for the screw that goes through the looped endes of the deadeye harness..... Nils Handscetch (not scaled ! )

    This is the outcome for for an utmost flexible and black rubber hose (received today), trust this will do much better than the PVC one.. Nils

    Unglaublich schöne Arbeit Johann, incredible work !!! Nils

    Hello Geert, yes , they surely would also fit very well to the Zeesboot, I`ll evaluate that when it comes to the rigging.. Nils

    Thank you very much to all the "likes" much appreciated... Nils

    Thank you very much Mustafa, and for looking into the build log... I had a look at your Santa Maria, coming very nicely.... Nils

    Very nice block making Geert ! Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Both wonderful pictures Jim. they look splendid Nils

    Thank you Pete, I`m pleased you like the fitting out so far. I think that in those days both hand cranked- and also battery starter were used. I have a starter unit attached to the engine housing, looks like I would need a battery also. The black round rubber (as hose) will fit into the hollow nozzles of pump discharge and hose end-nozzle. Oh yes, the oily rag, a good idea...., these small details bring life to the workboat ! Nils

    Thanks again for the link Eberhard, I found and ordered some black rubber (Hutschnur) 1,2 mm round on Ebay, hope it will work , and report the outcome later this week Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Many thanks Eberhard, I agree, PVC is not suitable here, so eyes open for rubber or silicone, and the idea with the soldering tin-wire is a good alternative Nils

    Thank you very much Jason, much appreciated, I built in the fuel day-tank with removable cap and chain under the engine bonnet. For the main storage tank, also installed on board, (drum) there is now a hand fuel pump, a hose and a discharge nozzle for filling the day tank Nils the hose is a bit stiff, see if I can get one more flexible day fuel tank fixed to the upper, inner front side of the bonnet

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.
