    many thanks to all I use these subframes made of sturdy cardboard. The shroud ropes are clamped into them, and then the web lines are placed over them. At the intersection points, I use a needle to apply tiny drops of shellac as glue. Finally, the entire shroud system is removed from the frame and any excess length is trimmed off. It's ready for installation on the boat.

    Without knowing more about your specific case, I can say that color shows flaws more clearly rather than hiding them. Bela

    But then we also need the view from behind

    "Tempus fugit" My last post was on August 15th! However, progress was still made in small steps. The standing rigging of the lower masts is nearing completion.

    Don't the jib halyard's cable and the lower block of the mainstay get in each other's way? Bela

    This is better. The masts have been lengthened and the fighting tops have been reduced in size. I'd like to depict the sail as billowing as Brueghel did. I've used Bible paper for other models at this scale. However, it's difficult to curve it in two directions. Perhaps someone here has a tip on how I could create such a billowing, curved sail. best regards Alvb
  24. Alvb
    I think the masts are too short and the tops are too big. I think they need to be redone.
  25. Alvb
    After a somewhat longer break, the mast builder has resumed his work and built the two fighting tops. (the masts are not yet completely fixed) I'm wondering where the men left the missing pavises lying around?
  26. Alvb
    I'm a bit skeptical. Why such an impractical route? First, somehow get to the bow, and then take this dangerous route to the next deck.
  27. Alvb
    What is the basis for the theory that the arches served as access? On the interpretation of these drawings? We know many illustrations that show how the arches merge onto the upper edge of the waist.

  29. Alvb
    Is there any evidence of what the hull and frame lines of older carracks looked like, around 1450 to 1470? And were there differences between English and Dutch carracks?
  30. Alvb
    @WaldemarThank you very much, basically its clear, but your drawings make it much easier to find the connecting arches.
  31. Alvb
    I meant the texts you and others have linked from time to time, not the posts in this forum.
  32. Alvb
    If only these texts were available in a precise German translation, how I would love to delve into them...

    The ominously obscure object on the chainwales and the scuppers.

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.
