    Thanks, gentlemen! I’ve received planks from a German mill and reshaped the channels to something more or less close to the draft. This temporary lantern will stay here until my soldering skills improve.

    Throughout its long history, humanity has created many different kinds of lanterns. But this one is special — my first attempt at soldering.

    The masts are ready. I have to say, what adds a certain edge to the experience is that they were crafted in true Amish style — entirely by hand. The thing is, when I went to the store for a power drill, not a single one leapt into my arms or whispered that it had been waiting for me all along, insisting I had no right to leave without it. Perhaps that’s just how power drills are. In any case, I never bought one. The only upside is that making each mast has turned into an exciting, slightly masochistic adventure.

    First mock-up of the mount. Seems like it should work.
  24. Olli Sukunimisson
    Hi ccoyle, It’s on a looong pause. This paper prototype is sitting in my office. Looks promising, but I’ve bought an original speeljacht kit from Kolderstok. I suppose we can close this thread for now. I’ll get back to it sometime later
  25. Olli Sukunimisson
    Hello gentlemen! Great to see you again. Let's continue
  26. Olli Sukunimisson
    Taking a break for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2—can’t do anything until I finish it. Sorry! See you soon. :)
  27. Olli Sukunimisson
    Well, the fittings are more or less done. I'll set up the cannons next, and then comes the scariest stage—masts and rigging!
  28. Olli Sukunimisson
    Welcome! But be warned—you can never stop :) Building wooden ships is 1.2 times more addictive than tobacco! 🙂 You won’t even realize when you start your own scratch-built POF.
  29. Olli Sukunimisson
    Hm... I love this solution! Sure, I'll think about something like this. Thanks, Patrick!
  30. Olli Sukunimisson
    Well... it's closer to the reference. But I'll keep my fancy wheels—I'll set them for Koningsdag and De intocht.
  31. Olli Sukunimisson
    Cool. Something completely different. Now I have a reference I can use for inspiration.
  32. Olli Sukunimisson
    Well, the construction has changed, but I still love the wheels. They're so round! And they balance the cannon! I'll paint them black.
  33. Olli Sukunimisson
    Thank you, gentlemen! I didn't know there were rules here. Cool, thanks! :) Will fix
  34. Olli Sukunimisson
    But the cannons, along with their gun carriages, will tip forward. How do we deal with this?

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.
