  1.    ccoyle reacted to a post in a topic: Carrack by Alvb - scale 1:250 - CARD - after Pieter Bruegel's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"

    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

    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?
  21. Alvb
    Am I misunderstanding something? As, dos, tres doesn't sound like a long ship to me.
  22. Alvb
    I agree with that. A narrow, steep ladder far forward would be conceivable. In a very confined space with a narrow staircase, boarding parties would have difficulty storming the fort. One after the other they could be repelled from above. Thus, the narrowness would be strategically advantageous.

    Off topic: lupus est homo homini, non homo, quom qualis sit non novit

    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
  27. 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
  28. Alvb
    Oh, I meant results from the latest archaeological findings. Until then, I'll enjoy your construction at its own pace.
  29. Alvb
    OK, when can I expect the first results for the foreship?🤔

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.
