    It is currently 5 3/4 inches or just under 15 cm.

    The first 18 guns in the aft fort have been mounted. Five stern guns are still missing.

    I have the same thing coming up, only 5 times smaller....

    Many small decks need to be installed! You can see inside from many places. Before the upper decks are glued on, I still have to fit the heavier guns. Once the interior work is complete, I'll continue outside...

    Thank you very much for the likes everyone. @Snug Harbor JohnnyYes, I could. But next I should maybe make a better version of the Brueghel.😂

    Oh yes, it will indeed be set on a sea. I wasn't thinking of an Icarus, though.

    The planking of the hull is complete.

    The bulwarks are installed, as is the front bulkhead of the aft castle. The bulkhead of the forecastle will have to wait a bit longer, as some of the interior still needs to be added. Still missing are the lower planking on the hull and the uppermost decks of the castles, as well as the whales. It's turning out quite nice and already shows significant differences from the painting, especially in the shape of the lower bow. I'm looking forward to the rigging. Hopefully, I'll be able to capture the character of the sails. (Although the depiction of the mizzen seems illogical to me.) Best regards, Alvb

    In my analysis of the painting, it has become increasingly clear that while the depiction appears to be perspectively correct, it is not. The optical foreshortening and the vanishing point perspective, as well as the perspective of the bow and the stern, cannot be reconciled.

    Hello everyone, As already mentioned in the other thread, I've started building a Breughelche carrack. The hull is slowly taking shape. (I'm afraid it doesn't have much in common with the original anymore... never mind.) Greetings Alvb
  25. Alvb
    However, the Anthony drawing shows a completely different design for the bulkhead. Arches or arcades instead of diagonal stripes. What is the reason for your design?

    Duyfken a tall ship???

    Ok, you explain your passage, which I don't quite understand, with this very passage. Not very helpful, don't you think?

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.
