Well, that's Corel. I'm currently working on the Victory from them. The plans are quite special. But look on the bright side, creativity and learning curve are definitely encouraged. I think when we're done with it we'll have mastered every kit or be ready for a scratch build. Greetings from the Palatinat

Hallo ihr Lieben, die letzten Tage habe ich mit dem Abschleifen der vorderen Blöcke verbracht, eine ganz schön schwere Arbeit, wenn man wie ich alles ohne Elektrogeräte macht. Dieses uralte Holz ist unglaublich hart und zäh. Bei drei Spanten musste ich auch die Außenkanten etwas aufrauen. Nun sind die hinteren Blöcke dran, was wohl noch ein paar Tage dauern wird, da diese aus noch härterem Holz sind. Bis jetzt hat dieser Bausatz definitiv ein erhöhtes Frustpotential. Eigentlich kann es nur besser werden. Grüße Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)

Hello lovelies, Children are great, when they love you they share everything with their dad, even the worst flu viruses. As a result, I currently have a lot of time on my hands to take a closer look at the construction plans. The last two ships had a pictorial description of how to build them, but now I have to realise that building them from plans alone is a different challenge. I am also slowly realising why I no longer wanted to work on such a large scale. But you know, I got it cheap. But my sense of honour tells me that I have to go through with it now. The Admiralty laughs every day with the comment ‘you wanted that’. Back to the subject, the design and construction of this kit are quite special, now I understand why there are only a few completed prototypes. I actually do this hobby for relaxation, now I'm suddenly supposed to start thinking in complex terms. It wasn't planned that way, but there's the matter of a sense of honour. So my creativity and I have decided to see where this ultimately leads. Goodbye, I'm going to lie down again and discuss with the viruses when they intend to leave my brain again.

Hallo zusammen, das erste Deck würde beplankt werden. Ein wunderschönes Holz. Leicht verdreht und verzogen, aber so fein gemasert. Naja, das Holz vor 40 Jahren war ganz anders als heute. Habe neulich erst einen Bericht darüber gelesen. Ganz andere Dichte des guten Stücks Baum. Der Nachteil wird sein, dass sich das Nussbaumholz der zweiten Beplankung evtl. schwer biegen lässt, da die Restfeuchte im Holz fehlt. Naja, wir werden sehen Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)

Hello lovelies, I would like to introduce you to my new project. Actually I wanted to continue with lower scales after the San Martin. But then I found this kit on the net and bought it very cheaply. So I bravely embarked on the tall ship adventure. There are only a few finished prototypes of this kit, which makes things even more exciting. I will try to build a model of it from around 1780, even without copper planking. However, I will only make a final decision on this point after the panelling. I like woodwork, so I'm also in good spirits in this respect. As you can see, I also bought some literature to help me. It contains very detailed building plans on a scale of 1:100, which doesn't make much difference. The kit comes with a proof of purchase from 1988, which is confirmed on closer inspection of the contents. I don't have to worry about burnishing the brass. Forty years of storage have left their mark and have already taken care of this issue themselves. Again, nothing is laser-cut, all parts are sawn or milled and of outstanding quality. I quickly had moist eyes when I unpacked the kit. But more on that in the course of the build. I also started building the basic frame straight away, which is hardly worth mentioning. A little sanding here, a little sanding there and everything was just right. Sit back, it's going to be another Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)

Guten Morgen an diesem schönen Sonntagmorgen, Auf die Segel muss ich noch warten, daher vertreibe ich mir die Zeit mit einer Schautafel. Da ich in einer öffentlichen Einrichtung mit neun Häusern im Umkreis von 30km arbeite, werden meine Schiffe nie alle zu Hause sein. Wir haben einige leere Vitrinen, die ich in Zukunft füllen werde, um meine Kunstwerke der breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Viele Grüße aus der Pfalz

Hallo Freunde, die fehlenden Maiden sind endlich eingetroffen, sodass ich endlich mit den Oberwanten weitermachen kann. Durch Zufall bin ich gestern in der Stadt auf die Schneiderin gestoßen. Leider war sie krank und konnte nichts tun, hat aber jetzt mit den Segeln begonnen. Es war schön, sie getroffen zu haben, sodass wir das Design an meine neuesten Ideen anpassen konnten. Ich freue mich schon sehr darauf zu sehen, wie die Segel aussehen werden, wenn sie fertig sind. Passt auf euch auf und bleibt gesund Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)

Staining of hulls.
Pfälzer replied to serpe's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Ich streiche meine Boote gar nicht. Um die natürliche Farbgebung und Struktur zu erhalten, schleife ich alle Teile mit Schleifpapier 1000 und wachse alles mit Antikwachs. Anschließend wird alles mit den Schminkpinseln meiner Frau aufpoliert. Da ich in Zukunft die Möglichkeit habe reines Bienenwachs bei einem Imker zu kaufen, wird dies im nächsten Projekt getestet.

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.
