  2. Sjors
    Thanks Augie, but it is true ! I have make kits from Billing Boats ( a lot of plastic stuff )....OcCre, a lot of metal stuff and plastic blocks.......Corel, drawings just like if you need a translator who also de-crypt what is saying..... And then Caldercraft.....I don't have shares from them , but I know for sure that my next build ( in about 5 years or so ) will be also Caldercraft !

    Thank Patrick, Augie and Jim, @ Patrick, I just love building this ship. I think that it has to do it with the excellent drawing and wood. It's a pleasure to work with it ! @ Augie, I think it is very difficult to place the Fonz at the deck of the Aggy But I shall make a picture of the Fonz in the back and the Aggy in the front.( If I can found the space ) And thanks for the good word.... @ Jim, Didn,t you know that NASA is following my idea to put one on the other ??????

    Very nice planking Robbyn ! You have take a good look at the Aggy I'll be waiting for the next, planking update !
  8. Sjors
    Again thank you all ! Always nice to read those comments @ Piet, The Fonz is a little bit shorter then the Aggy....about 3 cm. So i have two of those biggies ! Water ? no, we don't have water at all ! @ CapnHarv, She is just the right size to be a ships boat @ Bob, I know what you mean but when I let the Fonz on the shelf, she will never be finished. And it is a pleasure to do something else then planking But I'm happy that you like it. And what is one month ?????? ( or sooner ) @ Nick, Als thanks ! No, I don't use sawdust 9 Even I have a lot of it ) I only use Balsa filler and that works perfect ! @ Robbyn, Also thanks ! And that's why I put the Half Moon in front and on the Aggy to give you an idea how big she is ! And the coppering is for me also the first time that I'll be doing that. But I have a great teacher who helped me if necessary @ Sam , Mark and Grant. Thanks for all what you are saying and doing ! Sam is carried a chair ,Mark is looking for 2 chairs and Grant ? I don't know what he is doing He is running between two places ? @ Matt, Thank you very much Those tools are just great. I can not imagine that I have worked without them ! @ Bindy, Thank you very much ! And may i ask what lesson ????? And yes, it's a lot of ship I'm glad that I have the space to build it !!!! When i have to do this in the living room, there is no space left to sit anywhere ! @ patrick, Als thanks ! The planking cost me about 5 weeks. And that not every day ! But I'm happy that she is closed now. Next job to do is drilling holes for the gun ports...... But that's for next month.

    Thanks Mathew @ Grant, What about work ??????? And what about cleaning the workroom ????? I make the mess ,so I have to clean it. Be patient my friend and when the time is there, you will see an update !
  10. Sjors
    Thanks Sherry, She is really big, just a little bigger then the Fonz..... And you don't have to carry the chair by your self, I think one of the guys will do that for you
  11. Sjors
    Børge, Anja say Hi to you also. I don't let her work to much, it's her boss......and thats not me ! And Tom ? You don't have to sit in the corner...... Some people are making a little space for you
  12. Sjors
    Thanks everyone ! @ Tom, Welcome on board ! Before you get boring, this build will be on hold for a while because I have another build going on. She is screaming of a bit of attention So it's rigging time again for the San Ildefonso.
  13. Sjors
    Thanks Popeye, Witch log do you mean ? This one or that for the Half Moon..... This one is on hold for a while and the Half moon....I don't know. Anja is very busy with work and late at home every night...
  14. Sjors
    Yep, time for an update ! Hull is closed with the first planking Filled and sanded. You see two colours of filler and that's correct ! First I used wood filler and after that balsa filler. Don't ask me why but it works just great ! Now she feels like a baby skin. Still don't know how it feels and no, I don't want a baby to check it out ! To prove everything a lot of pictures ! Also the last two pictures is to show you the size....... Now it is time to clean up the workroom and go back to the Fonz. Making shrouds and the last ratlines for a while.
  15. Sjors
    Wow Matt, You are not around for a while but when you are coming, then you have something !!!!! Great job what you have done !!!! And thanks for the pictures.....I love that !

    The Caroline is coming alive !!!!!!!!
  17. Sjors
    Augie, You also found the WOW-factor ! Awesome pictures and a beauty to watch the Conny !!!!!! Great job my friend
  18. Sjors
    Klaas, I will answer instead of Christian...... It's correct that at some pictures you see only a question mark. When they change discs there are pictures missing. Not only with Christian but a lot of others has the same. When Christian has still the pictures he can re-post them. I hope you don't mind Christian that I answer Klaas ?
  19. Sjors
    Frank, I'think it should Be the other way around......Mobbsie has to pay me when I let him do the copper plates. He just loves it !!!!!!!!!
  20. Sjors

  21. Sjors

  23. Sjors
    Robbyn, You are woman at my heart !!!!!!! I went upstairs to take a look and what do you think ???????? I still have to plank !!!!! And I have made a few planks younger, is that counting ???? I was talking yesterday evening with Mobbsie and I show him what I have done and you know what he was telling me ?????? Don't show it to MSW otherwise you went kick of that forum ! Pffffffffff ( Dutch word ) Just kidding.....I have use some filler at some points and .....like a baby skin so soft....( I can't remember how that feels but I like the way how I wrote that down ! ) @ Augie, Take my word for it.......It's gonna be an other layer of planks and after that there will be copper tiles ! I just want to make myself angry when it is not going as I want to ! Anja always told me that I have to do everything once at a life time so.....coppering is the answer
  24. Sjors
    That looks great with the glazing Augie ! But difficult to look to it ? I mean....can you look from the inside to the outside......or the other way around ?
  25. Sjors

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.
