    Hi all, First of all, thx for all the kind words! After six years my Aggy finally found her way home.... I want to thank you all for all the commends and advices and of course all the likes! I am still waiting for my next project, the Sovereign of the Seas (Sergal). When all goes well, it should arrive this week, but I am afraid it will take some more time. Looks if they send my order to the planet Saturnus..... As promised some pictures. As you can see, I did some repairs. I fixed that nasty angle in the top stay.

    Hi Sjors, I agree with all others that replacement is the best solution. I think otherwise you will have always a different right and left side of the hull. Hennie

    I think you did a great job. Looks beautifull. My SoS (Sergal) didn't arrive todayThey called me yesterday. It will take another 10 days till arrival (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....). My bronze dolphins standard for my HMS Agamemnon also didnt arrive. Whats wrong with these webshops...? But the guy who called me, promissed me, he would send for FREE: a paint set..... and a glue set .....and a tool set. I almost said to him I would agree with another delay for more free stuff Hennie

    Thank you all for for your very kind words. Feels a bit sad... She kept me busy for over 6 years (with some breaks), but the last 2 years it was a daily job. But........I already ordered my dreamship which I always wanted to build one time: The Sovereign of the Seas (from Mantua/Sergal). When all goes well, this kit will arrive this month and than you are all welcome on my new building log. Hennie

    @Eric, Thx Eric for your kind words And finally an update; I FINISHED MY AGGY!!!!! She is not on her place yet. I ordered a mahogany shelf and 4 bronze dolphins to put her on. Those things have to come from Italy, so it will take a while. But when she is in het final place, I will take more pictures. Hennie

    Congratulations Sjors, you did a great job Finally after 3 years....... She looks great!! BUT your figurehead is still crying because he wants his spear And dont forget to put your Chesstrees (138) on the hull. Oh... before I forget to mention.... I love spagetti, so save some for me I also started yesterday with the last drawingsheet of my Aggy (I hope I have enough single blocks 3mm). So a few weeks and it will be done.......after 6 years...but I took a few breaks. Only the last 2 years it was a daily job. Will feel like a black hole when I finish her...... But I think I will buy The (Sergal) Sovereign of the Seas next month. Hennie

    No update this sunday. I have to redo some rigging because I am not satisfied how it looks now. I have also to do some repairs. Its almost impossible not damaging something, because there is no room left for my big hands Hennie

    Hi Sjors, Looks very nice!! I am a few days behind you now. I will start with my last sheet on monday, maybe already on sunday.... I will update on sunday.... Hennie

    Very impressive Anja! Hennie
  14. Hennie
    Thx Sjors, And as promissed an update. All (boom)yards are in there place now, so I started with the last piece of rigging. This will take a few month, I guess.... Some pictures...........
  15. Hennie
    Thx Sjors I am half way with the yards now. The rest of the yards will be easier. Some pictures..........

    Hi Sjors, I finished the standing rigging some weeks ago. Though it was a lot of work, I didn't have have real problems finishing it. Wondering what problems you have. Waiting for your call Hennie
  17. Hennie
    Looks great Sjors! Hennie
  18. Hennie
    @B.E and @Piet Thank you both :) A small update.... The first yard (and the biggest one) is in his place. Just like Sjors I used a brass pin to put it on the mast in the first place. When using the ropes to put the yard against the main mast, I will damage the whole thing. I only have two hands, so thats almost impossible. I will use ropes later. Some pictures....

    Hi Sjors, The Yard Stun Sail Boom Irons have arrived this morning. Thank you very much my friend. An XXXL piece of "Limburgse Vlaai" for you, when you visit me :D :D Hennie
  20. Hennie
    @Sjors, Thx Sjors, and yes, I am right behind you now. I am starting with the yards also . @Joe, Thx Joe. Its going fast now. And a small update.... I finished all the backstays now and - like Sjors- I also start with the yards. But I first have to make them all :) Some pictures which shows where I am right now.........
  21. Hennie
    Hi Anja, Great that you started a new build(ingblog). Poor Sjors, now his netting will never come to an end :D Many years ago I also build a Spanish Gallion (1607). Just a plastic one, but oke... I took a picture of it, but with the Agamemnon in the background, it looks a bit poor....
  22. Hennie
    And again a small update..... All Stays are done. I will now proceed with the rest of the backstays. Some pictures..........
  23. Hennie
    @Popeye: thx @Sjors: You know that you and Anja are more than welcome. I will keep the "Limburgsche vla" ready. And of course an update: I finally finished the ratlines......... Some pictures:
  24. Hennie
    Looks beautifull Sjors ! Glad you started again with your Aggy. Give my regards to Anja! I am still a few weeks behind you with my Aggy Hennie
  25. Hennie

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.
