Hi Bob, that's very kind of you, I appreciate it. But these only have one connection for the tow rope. I had the same thought, as they are available almost everywhere. But then I need more of them, as it would only make sense to design a whole row differently. If I were to choose this option, I would actually go for a smaller size. So it would also make technical sense why the one type would then be pulled with only one rope instead of two. Greetings my dear Translated with DeepL.com (free version) -

Hello lovelies, I am currently working on the Victory from Corel. Unfortunately, some of the gun hatches are missing or defective. These parts are no longer available in Germany, as the kit is already forty years old. They are no longer produced according to Corel. That's what I was told on the phone. So I would like to ask all of you out there to see if you still have some lying around in your drawers. I'm talking about the 10x11mm hatches with two hinges.

Hello lovelies, first of all a big thank you to Harlekin for the encouraging comment. Firstly, it's nice that someone else thinks this way, and secondly, that someone has already built the same kit. As life goes, it came at just the right moment. Two problems have arisen, one minor and the other actually serious. I classed the mistake of not sanding a curve towards the bow after planking as minor. But as you can see, this could be rectified. More serious, because it can't be repaired, is the fact that I had to realise that I was probably building the Vasa when I fitted the figurehead. The port side is considerably higher at the front corner of the upper deck than the starboard side. Changing this would mean rebuilding the hull, which to be honest I'm not prepared to do. So I started with the crane beams. Remains fresh Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

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.
