    Good morning Pete, all that you see on the 3 forstanding pics is only for the plug function and will be removed after clinker planking. Keel and posts are made from pear wood, pls. refer to my post #37 the keel, the bow- and sternpost are screwed down on the plug, and not glued, as they will be permanently glued to the pear keel and the pear clinker-plank ends. The individual clinker planks are also horizontaly glued together. In my case some of the glue spillt on to the plug. The intension was to easy remove the plug completely from the shell, just by loostening the mini screws of keel anf the two posts. The plug was sitting too tight, due to spillt and cured glue, so it unfortunately had to be cut out of the shell carefully in some places ( being a "one way plug"). This could have been avoided by putting some transparent tape on the outer bulkhead contours of the plug, before planking. Nils

    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

    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 ! )

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.
