    I meant the texts you and others have linked from time to time, not the posts in this forum.

    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.

    Thank you backers and everyone else for the recognition and likes.

    The chainwales: No details are discernible in the Brueghel painting. Chainwales aren't even visible for the fore-shrouds. My interpretation: The main shrouds are attached to chainwales, while the fore-shrouds simply have their wales reinforced at the lower edges of the forecastle. Its bent side makes wide chainwales unnecessary. The shrouds still run freely from the side.

    I'm currently building a small model from roughly this era. I realized that the bow area doesn't match the visual impression Brueghel creates in his depiction of "Icarus." The design presented here, with its strongly curved breadth sweeps in the bow, comes closer to that. Therefore, I've taken the liberty of applying the presented method to my design. Thanks to your clear description, it's easy to transfer. Only the reconciling sweeps—circular segments that connect tangentially to given arcs—should be easy to find using graphical methods, but no! Could you perhaps briefly explain to me how to find these sweeps? Thank you very much.

    The macro shots are merciless... ...but slowly it is taking shape.

    Wales (Is this the correct plural form?🙄) and Standarts in progress. In fact, I am not sure how to construct the railings with the shields on top of the castles.
  23. Alvb
    Thank you for your detailed explanations. I consider your work extremely valuable. The constructions are understandable and easy to follow. The only thing that wasn't entirely clear to me was how the regression curves were determined.

    I am just a little surprised that on the one hand people had experience with such stability problems and knew methods to mitigate them, but on the other hand they built ships with these very deficiencies.

    All cannons and swivel guns are now mounted in the aft fort, so the aft deck can be relocated. Next, we move on to the forefort.
  34. Alvb
    It is currently 5 3/4 inches or just under 15 cm.
  35. Alvb
    The first 18 guns in the aft fort have been mounted. Five stern guns are still missing.

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.
