    Hello friends, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to build but I finally took the next step. I checked the bow shape over and over again. And yes the templates and plans and also your logs help a lot... ...Finally the first plank is glued. I just hope it's ok now. What do you think guys , has it fine run ? I hope so, because I'm worried about it.

    continued with Stern planking

    by the way, I was inspired by McKay's book Sovereign of the Seas...

    I also decided to make the Stem parts and Keel myself

    it's really possible Frank... I mean, partly "EasyWood is a PLA-based 3D printer filament that is filled with 40% wood particles..." EasyWood It's even a Netherlands company.

    Thank you Patrick, your Pelican is an inspiration for me. Next, I decided to make new gun ports. It was even more difficult because they are not square.

    And the first layer of planking... quite a torment...

    Thank you Allan and also for the likes guys, I appreciate it. Originally I didn't even think I was going to modify so many pieces... Now there will be a break from the decks for a while. Next is the hull stiffening and installation of the side patterns.

    I gently modified the gun carriage from the kit. These won't be seen eventually. The others I will make completely my own.

    ...the decks in place...

    more training more grating... 🙂

    Thanks Tim and for the likes as well. continued: I had to adjust the bulkheads and make some new deck beams. I tried to simulate not only the bending of the deck planks but also the decks beams. And Stern Bulkhead modification...

    Thanks Glenn, I got the pins from here: Modelling Pins or Super Modeling Pins

    So I checked the bow shape. More sanding was needed, so far the right side is done, I hope it's good. The temporary plank is thick as the planking plus the fancy rail. Fcastle cap rail template now fits quite well, it overlaps by about 0,5 mm. Is it better now Chuck?

    Thanks guys. Galeona has many decks, so plenty area to practice 🙂 On the gun deck I tried a different technique for treenails. On the decks I am happy with it. I used brown PVA glue... The finish is wax...

    planking Orlop decks with maple planks, maple nails, and my first grating (cherry wood)

    Hi guys, I am a forum member for many years, but only now I decided to show what I'm working on. For my return to modelling after 20 years I chose the Revenge 1:64 by Amati/Victory. So far I plan to build only the hull without rigging. I've liked galleons since childhood and anyway, I've been following Chris Watton's prototype build since the beginning and I couldn't resist. But inspired by the awesome models here, I would like to improve the model a bit to get skills for other models. So keep your fingers crossed please. I'll add photos gradually, because I started in January 2020 Dusan ready for play

    Thanks Chuck The first chapter is more or less finished. So here's the important part: Preparing for planking What do you think ? Dusan

    The Bollard Timbers...

    Thank you Chuck and for the likes as well. with Stern frames I'll show you, Planking the Lower Counter… Dusan
  22. westwood
    next: Stern frames and Quarter gallery framing It was a little harder. So I even forgot to take pictures ...🙂
  23. westwood
    Very nice Glenn, I also struggled with stern framing.

    Hey, guys, thank you for the warm welcome and the kudos. I really appreciate it. Adding the bulkheads was the easy part because everything fit perfectly. I start fairing at the bow. Then I did the Port framing. Sanding the ports was a bit more challenging because the bulkheads are soft poplar plywood and cherry wood is harder. And then I made the job even more complicated by adding balsa blocks. I hope I won't regret it.

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.
