    Just as well, the "painter" could have been standing on tiptoe (his towering right shoulder, his whole posture looked like that to me) and the guy on the ladder could have climbed up something. It all remains speculative.

    It took a long time to find a suitable home for her. But this afternoon she was finally able to move in.

    Dear Ab Hoving, As you know, taking perfection to the extreme, despite all admiration for the craftsmanship, often leads to rigidity and lifelessness. Filling an object with life is artistic virtuosity! I would never want to call that a lack. I am excited to see how the plastic Speel-jaagt behaves under sail. Best wishes Alvb

    Dear Ab Hoving, I admire your models, they are extremely lively precisely because they are not aimed at extreme precision or accuracy. my respect, Alvb

    Oh, I meant results from the latest archaeological findings. Until then, I'll enjoy your construction at its own pace.
  25. Alvb
    OK, when can I expect the first results for the foreship?🤔
  26. Alvb
    Thanks Amateur, I arranged the sail sheet like this on the foresail, and on the mainsail I placed it on the side of the ship. That's how I interpreted the illustrations. The same applies to a dirk only on the mainsail. The dirk cannot be seen above because it runs on the port side and is therefore hidden by the sail. Alvb

    The project is nearing its end. It still remains to be decided how it should be presented. Perhaps standing on two thin pins in a small, discreet display case... Greetings Alvb

    We are making progress in small steps. The main mast and its sail are up. One thing is giving me a bit of a headache now. The sail sheets are led over "Leuwagen" or sheet brackets (what is the English term?). But where are they attached? Looking at contemporary depictions, the jib sheet could be attached to the lower block, but the main sheet could be attached somewhere further in front of its "Leuwagen". What do you think about it?

    I wouldn't know which version I should prefer.

    what kind of varnish can you recommend? I tried using Zapon varnish, but it seemed to barely penetrate the paper.

    Ich schneide schmale Streifen in der gewünschten Blockbreite die ich dann in Stücke teile. Die Ecken schneide ich noch weg und fertig. In Natura ist nicht zu sehen, dass die Blöcke achteckig statt oval sind. Der Zusammenbau erfolgt mit leicht verdünntem Weißleim. I cut narrow strips in the desired block width, which I then divide into pieces. I cut off the corners and that's it. In reality, you can't see that the blocks are octagonal instead of oval. They are assembled using slightly diluted white glue. Als Erstes klebe ich den Faden, der den Blockstropp bildet auf ein Seitenteil des Blocks. nachdem der Leim getrocknet ist, ist er nicht mehr sichtbar. Dann wird das Ganze umgedreht, die "Scheibe" eingeklebt, der Läufer dazu, 2. Seitenteil drauf und zuletzt das Stropptau drüber. Zwischen jedem Schritt den Leim trocknen lassen. Das Ganze ließe sich noch perfektionieren, für meine Bedürfnisse liefert es aber recht zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse .First I glue the thread that forms the block strap onto one side of the block. After the glue has dried, it is no longer visible. Then the whole thing is turned over, the "disk" is glued in, the runner is added, the second side piece is put on and finally the strap rope is put on top. Allow the glue to dry between each step. The whole thing could still be perfected, but for my needs it delivers quite satisfactory results.

    the diameters? hard to say, the thinner one is Alterfil L 400, the thicker one consists of 2 twisted Alterfil L 400 threads.

    so sehen meine Blöcke aus Sie bestehen aus Papier. 2 Seitenteile und eine „Scheibe“ dazwischen. Die Seile sind aus Polyester. Sie sind also flexibel und können sogar durch die Blöcke laufen. Das größere der beiden ist knapp 1 mm (0,039 inch) lang. Scale 1: 250

    The front mast has received its sail.. The sails are made of paper from a flower shop that is only 0.05 mm thick. Below are the steps of production. -Port and starboard sides printed together -Folded along the center line and glued together -Cut out -Leek rope glued on I know the logs are a bit too thick...

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.
