    Apart from this is really need research, i don't think that sponge thing. Ancient Romans were surrounded the Mediterranean where natural sponges was plenty. But in cold seas this feature should prove damn expensive, and sailors weren't so refined to allow themselves such luxury. I guess they clean their parts once a day, maybe twice a week? Bathing by saltwater, using a bucket, no more.

    Oh thats smart. I always did the shrouds first, one by one, then attach the crows nest or crosstree - but your method is more efficient than mine.

    If i remember well, someone built a ship from the same era which named Pelican and renamed later to Golden Hind (i know the differences though ) So at the forecastle's bottom holes (pun intended) would be sufficient i guess. The only difference that Mary Rose's sailors could enjoy the heads in rain as they are covered by the forecastle.

    Looking good Bill! How you will install the shrouds? The forestay(s) is quite simple, but i think the shrouds should go around the mast like Dafi's Victory?

    Hi George, You might try TT scale railroad men, like those https://www.reynaulds.com/catalog/dept_356.aspx I do not recommend the sunbathers though, but the workers could be suitable. They have 1:144 as well, but those are airport passengers: https://www.reynaulds.com/products/Preiser/77103.aspx

    Yes Bill, this is the old Airfix model, the 'Special Edition' version of the kit. I built her 30+ years ago. I did really enjoy the build, and was a great success to compare my model to the original in Wasamuseet, Stockholm.

    I think the sequence is differs for every model, regarding the scale, the shrouds, etc. My general sequence is to erect the mast, add lower level shrouds, then lower yard with its attached ropes (footropes, parrals), add yardlifts, then attach sails with its ropes. Then next level shrouds, yard, sail up to the top. But this is general practice only, sometimes i have to follow a different path if the scale is too small and better the result if i build the mast separately with sails, then put it into the hull in one piece and attach the standing rigging and running rigging thereafter. My 1:250 Cutty Sark built this latter way, the 1:144 Wasa built by the first method. Both have furled sails. Now i'm following the bottom-to-top mode building the 1:150 Pamir. Please consider that smaller scales tends to have more ropes and details missing, thus easier to build.

    The double hinged arm is a very elegant solution. About the captain, i guess the friction between the push rods and the captain's wooden base cause that iffynes. If i'm right, a dome cap could solve it like this: But anyways, i'm admired.

    Don't think so. The below picture from Preussen shows that the sails were moved by pure manpower.

    At this exact position, PAMIR had a clamp to hold the cargo cranes boom secured during voyages. A bit differently installed, but PASSAT still have those clamps, however the crane boom has already been removed - the crane itself is the white mushroom far left on the picture. When i was on PEKING, she hadn't even cranes installed, but that was prior her restoration, based on the pictures that cranes still missing. Pic below is from PASSAT, note that the handrails have removable sections there. Also note that those fittings are looking aft, but same clamps was installed for the forward crane booms too - i wasn't able to find pictures for that part. However this is not proving that the fitting on Herzogin Cecilie has the same purpose. This one looks like a fairlead and the handrail is the same all along.

    You can connect the hatch to the captain's shaft with two bumpers (or even a single), thus the captain can open a hatch en-route to the flybridge and close it after he is down already. I believe it is just matter of space inside the tower or in the hull. Brilliant work!
  34. Veszett Roka
    That mechanism is quite simple. Are you thinking something similar, or he will be mechanized?
  35. Veszett Roka
    I've seen worse propellers on museum quality models. Yours is amazing Keith.

    Fast recovery to your wife 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.
