  20. Olli Sukunimisson started following Große Jacht 1679 by Baker - Corel - 1:50 - from the Yacht D'Oro kit and Bosun, who scattered all this bloody mess on my bloody deck?
  21. Olli Sukunimisson
    I'm thinking about the details. According to plans, there should be piles of ropes scattered around the cannons on the deck of my Duyfken. And somehow, this bothers me. Was it really like that? I can believe it if we're modeling a combat scenario. But in day-to-day operations—during a routine watch—they would have gotten whipped for that, right?

    The inner planking is more or less complete, and the thin decorative frames have been glued. The next step is making the ports.
  24. Olli Sukunimisson
    The main deck is more or less done.

    Planking is complete, unnecessary frame tops have been removed, and now I’ll finish the deck. PS: I still think it's an incredibly interesting model—now even more than I did at the beginning. And she is simple to build (though I'm trying not to think about the sculptures!).

    Two short and four long planks remain. Fitting these wales turned out to be a surprisingly tricky task. Somehow, I lost sight of the fact that the wales should serve as the base for the planks—not the other way around! Trying to use top planks as a base to shape the wales was not only a bad idea but also potentially disastrous. A single-layer hull is a terribly fragile thing! Thankfully, I managed to avoid an actual heart attack, and the wales are now in place.
  28. Olli Sukunimisson
    Well, this is just the very first approach. Yes, yes, yes—the triangles (do they have a special name?) aren’t included in the kit plans, but it seems impossible to leave my Duyfken without them. They feel like a tiny piece of Amsterdam, carried along on its incredible journey to Australia.
  29. Olli Sukunimisson
    Wow! What a beautiful ship! I’m completely impressed and intrigued. Wishing you a wonderful adventure ahead!
  30. Olli Sukunimisson
    My precious! She is really beautiful and cute. A bit more sanding and polishing is still required. P.S.: when you build your own Duyfken (I'm sure you will; she’s gorgeous and much less common than Victory and dramatically less expensive), please pay attention to the 4th and 8th frames. There’s nothing wrong with them, but in my humble opinion, they could be slightly (really slightly) narrower. May be not. Just have a look and trust your taste.
  31. Olli Sukunimisson
    Such an unusual choice
  32. Olli Sukunimisson
    Yeah! Thanks, Patrick!
  33. Olli Sukunimisson
    Aemilia and the Battle of the Downs, yeah?
  34. Olli Sukunimisson
    Both final full-length planks cracked. Maybe it's for the best—I now have a chance to create a couple of 'composite' planks (don't know right name for them)
  35. Olli Sukunimisson
    Everybody loves planking. Let's do some planking :)) The inner wall in its final beauty. As far as I understand, it will be almost out of view (covered by the top deck, boards, and some features at the front), but it's a matter of respect toward the ship to build it with care.
  36. Olli Sukunimisson
    ok, wood carving requires loooong practice. But it shouldn't block the project. Let's continue.

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.
