    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

    Taking a break for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2—can’t do anything until I finish it. Sorry! See you soon. :)

    Well, the fittings are more or less done. I'll set up the cannons next, and then comes the scariest stage—masts and rigging!

  18. 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.

    Hm... I love this solution! Sure, I'll think about something like this. Thanks, Patrick!

    Well... it's closer to the reference. But I'll keep my fancy wheels—I'll set them for Koningsdag and De intocht.
  23. Olli Sukunimisson
    Cool. Something completely different. Now I have a reference I can use for inspiration.

  27. 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.
  28. Olli Sukunimisson
    Thank you, gentlemen! I didn't know there were rules here. Cool, thanks! :) Will fix
  29. Olli Sukunimisson
    But the cannons, along with their gun carriages, will tip forward. How do we deal with this?
  30. Olli Sukunimisson
    I'll think
  31. Olli Sukunimisson
    Hello, gentlemen! I have been dancing around tiny things—progress was slow, and I had nothing to show. But now—gun carriages! The story starts here. The provided cannons were slightly unbalanced and couldn't stand still on their given carriages. But this is ship modeling—we welcome every challenge! Let's move the cannons slightly backward. Better. And yet, my soul found no rest. It wanted something more. I made dozens of attempts to create better carriages. And now—ta-da! I’m sure that Archimedes and Alexander the Great designed wheels for their gun carriage models this way. But I knew nothing about their methods. As for me—I’m the proud inventor!
  32. Olli Sukunimisson
    Patrick - thanks. Very good point. I'll try to find thinner wire.
  33. Olli Sukunimisson
    Slightly barbaric. I know. But removable

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.
