Hello Challenger86, I decided to make the copper hull myself. I think it enhance the appearance of the model. I made the copper tiles from 5 mm copper tape using a pouncing wheel to recreate the copper tiles.

Bedankt Backer. Groeten uit West-Vlaanderen. 😉 Current build: Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes - Occre

So, a little update on the NS Mercedes. I have finished the backstays on all three masts. Not a whole lot of work, but a very slow progress. I was looking forward to the rigging when I was building this ship, but I must confess that I will be happy when the riggings are over. 🙂 The ropes from the Occre kit are not the best in its class, to say the least. I've used Beeswax to stop the fraying of the ropes. It will have to do for now, maybe in the future I will have to look for another brand of ropes. Kind regards,

Very nice build Backer. Love to visit the Wasa museum one day and see the real ship. Must be very impressive.

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.
