    Which ones do you mean? The small wheels of later gun carriages, or the small ones in my photo? The small wheels in the photo are the wheel hubs.

    Thank you very much for the feedback. I actually had to shorten the guns a bit; otherwise they would have been 5 meters long. Yes, I'm thinking about incorporating some figures, perhaps like in the painting. Let's see if I can find or create some in 1:250.
  13. Alvb
    Guns in situ.
  14. Alvb
    That's better

    It's been a while since I've shown anything here. I'm currently trying to make guns for the ship's deck. It's difficult. The gun shown has a total length of 1.8 cm, or 0.75 inches. The wheels have a diameter of around 5 mm, or 0.2 inches. I'm curious to see how much of it will still be visible under the anti-boarding nets. Alvb Unfortunately, the image is very poor....
  16. Alvb started following Ship design and gunnery in England around 1600 according to „Dell’Arcano del Mare” by Robert Dudley , HMS Falken - little sister of HMS Wasa and Vasa 1628 by EJ_L - Scale 1:24 - Fully Scratch Built and Large!

    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.
  21. Alvb
    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
  30. Alvb
    I think the masts are too short and the tops are too big. I think they need to be redone.
  31. 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?
  32. 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.
  33. 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.

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.
