    Yeah, IMHO the most important thing to understand here is that you need to bend the planks properly in plane. Follow Chuck’s guide - you’ll see how oddly S-shaped your planks have to be. That’s because we’re trying to cover a complex 3D form with 2D strips. Once they’re curved right in plane, they’ll fit the hull perfectly, with no gaps.

    Offtopic: Onshape!! it takes some time to get used to, but it’s amazing. I have no idea where you even get detailed plans, so I’m trying to draw a scheme for a scratch build

    Steady progress — calm and patient, just like in Finland. The wales are being (re-re-re)painted

    Thanks, gentlemen! To be honest, I’m not fully happy with it — I’m sure you’ll find the perfect colors for your Gretels. I tried to make the wooden stern decoration to avoid that too strong black accent, but well… not this time. Maybe I should just paint the wales black and get rid of one extra color.
  25. Olli Sukunimisson
    Well, the panel from the kit is still much better, but I’m making progress
  26. Olli Sukunimisson
    Approach 2 Any hints or advice on carving this type of decor are greatly appreciated
  27. Olli Sukunimisson
    Hans — sure! Sorry, I didn’t come up with the idea myself — Finns make you develop a habit of trusting every number printed on the cover; you get that habit in the same packet as your residence permit. Maybe my rigging photos just weren’t that good.
  28. Olli Sukunimisson
    Thanks, Hans! Yeah… you’re breaking my heart It’s marked as 0.2, but seems slightly thinner. Thanks again, I’ll try to listen to my feelings — if I want her to be correct or lighter and brighter than her sister ships
  29. Olli Sukunimisson
    Gregory — great thanks! I hadn’t seen that drawing before. Interesting. I need to think about it
  30. Olli Sukunimisson
    The very first approach
  31. Olli Sukunimisson
    Nothing wrong with this metal stern — it just needs proper painting. But first, I’ll give my carving skills another hopeless try. Most likely, I’ll end up back with the provided part anyway.
  32. Olli Sukunimisson
    It seems I’ve found a logical form for it!
  33. Olli Sukunimisson
    done for today

    Gretel is perfect if you enjoy building dollhouses. She’s the complete opposite of Duyfken — that one is beautiful and practical, while this one is luxurious and elegant.
  35. Olli Sukunimisson
    Nirvana - Your Finnish is definitely way better than mine It’s a beautiful language, but I’ve lost all hope of ever learning it — probably the only realistic option for me would be a Finnish wife. I’ve started learning Swedish instead. It’s totally possible they have different versions, or that the kits are made by different manufacturers. Mine looks fine; the only issue I see so far is the fragile walnut strips — though maybe I just did something wrong.

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.
