    Thanks All ! @ Chris, That's a real beauty you have over there ! I can see how the planks go ,so i'll give it a try. Thanks !!!!!! @ Augie, Thanks also And you are talking about one canon ???????? I thought there where a few more ..... @ Grant, I understand why you want to see the canons rigged...... Then i can use the 2 mm blocks that I got from you But that takes a while. First the stern ! Love those problems....... @ Popeye, You have a lot of confidence in me..... I will place filler blocks but also keeping planking from bottom to top. At the end everything will come together ! And also everyone who Likes it, Thank you !!!!!!!

    Hi Jason, Thanks ! It goes very well with the planking. It just runs how it should be..... And you hit the nail on his head. I have to place some filler blocks at the stern. Then I hope it will be all right. It's fun with those cannons..... I have to make them black and all the eyebolts for the rigging. They are gonna be fully rigged..... ( o dear, what i'm saying now....)

    And when i was looking how the glue dry I have make the gun carriages. Now I have to drill more then 250 holes for the eyebolts and paint everything...... I'm happy that I have a power drill and not doing it with a hand drill On the left side you will see the 18 pounds cannons and on the right side the 9 pounds cannons .

    Planking still keep on going. I wanted to put a plank on the stern with the strange bend. That is not working ! As you can see in the picture, the plank was destroyed........ So I have to remove that and try something else. So I started at the keel and work my way up. When I'm on that point again I can see what I have to do.

    @ Popeye, That's a nice thought......planking at day time and rigging by night time. And witch hours I have to work ? I wish they have make 48 hours in one day..... @ John, I just like working with Proxxon ! And when do you going further on the build ? I want to say a few oh and ah's ....... @ Sam, Take your time with it ! Even you can not read everything at once, it will be available on the forum ! The only thing is you have to read a little more. But then you have more !!!!!!!!!

    Hi Robbyn, I'm sorry to hear about your Mom I wish I could start at another way to see that you have started number 2..... But I will follow you again ! Did you take the popcorn machine with you ? The start is perfect and the replaced wood looks excellent ! So I have to see where I can find a free seat.....
  10. Sjors
    I don't say a thing........
  11. Sjors
    Very nice Popeye ! You are keeping it white ??????
  12. Sjors
    Mark, what are you thinking ? The Licorne is to big I'm gonna change to a small one ?????? Practicing makes art ????? Make a lot of pictures please....not for me but for Anja . She can use it when she goes (whenever ) build the Hannah
  13. Sjors
    @ Augie, Why don't you open that thread ? Popeye can do it every week then.......... @ Frank, Thanks ! And don't get jealous at the work shop. In no time you have also all that kind of tools
  14. Sjors
    Hi Robbyn and Sam, The whole house smells at sawdust and glue And every where in the house you find pieces of wood. I'm gonnna use the vacuum cleaner a lot of times ! Planking is still continue, slow but going....... @ Sam, It's about time that you shows us an update ? It's very quit at your build log........
  15. Sjors
    Nice to see some Dutch words at this forum ! But Piet, the langue is English I'm not gonna translate those words for you
  16. Sjors
    Hi Andy, I'm still following you and I don't have a clue from what you telling but it looks......BIG ! It's a big difference then wood. When do you go back at the Peggy ? Or do you wanna complete this one first ?
  17. Sjors
    Thank you Adam At the moment she is on hold because I have also the Aggy to work on. Each first of the month I'm changing models..... A few weeks and it is Fonzie time again
  18. Sjors
    Mobbsie, I'm brave enough to bring my Aggy with me. And I need all ready a few suitcases to bring you all the stuff you need ! So 1 extra is not a problem !
  19. Sjors
    @ Patrick, It's only one table that looks like that. And because Anja has no time for her build I take her table to I only have to make the promise that I clean it when she goes back to the Half Moon ! @ Doris, You give me to much credits what about the inspiration. It's the other way around. If I'm 50 % from what you have doing I'm the happiest builder in the world But thanks for all the likes ! You reach you quote in no time at this speed @ Mark, At the moment it is used ! But when it is at the end of the month and I go back to the San Ildefonso, I have to clean everything. Otherwise I mixed things from the two models....... Then you see parts of the Fonz on the Aggy !
  20. Sjors
    Wow, wow, wow Mobbsie ! Great job on all that stuff !!!!!!! By the time I get there I will send my Aggy a cross the North Sea and you can do it again Just kidding ! I know that you will help me by the time I get there ! Maybe in June when we are visiting you again I'll take my Aggy with me and we can build together at her ?
  21. Sjors
    I can only agree with the two other Rear Admirals !!!!!! Great !
  22. Sjors
    Almost done Ulises ! You must be satisfied with the result ! Looks great and busy
  23. Sjors
    @ Sam, You are an unbelievable guy you know that ? At the end of this post you will see two pictures how the workroom looks at the moment ! You are satisfied now ????? I wanted to start with the next planking in the middle of the hull but I changed my mind. I'm now have started at the keel and work my way up. There is a strange bend at the stern and now I can see how it will go. I can play with the planks. @ John, Thanks ! Planking is just like riding a bicycle....once you know it you will never forget it ! @ Kevin, Also thank you ! I'm gonna use tiles instead of tape. That's what they provide in the kit so I'll use them . @ Nick, I know you are busy with school so no excuse please ! Thanks for the good word ! @ Sam, Here are the promise pictures !
  24. Sjors
    That's also a way to do it Instead of scratch just buy them !
  25. Sjors
    Thank you all again @ Jason I have not make a rabbet . Just glue the planks and hold them with two clamps..... I think it's a compliment that you are saying this ? @ Augie, They don't tell me to tapering the stem at all..... I'm just doing what I think it should be right...... Maybe wrong but ok, it works so far @ Mark, I reach not the level that you have but I'll doing my best ! And don't forget....I have a few 1000 examples how it should be ! And still learning from you guy's and girls ! At the moment I'm doing things a little different. I wanted to start planking from the middle but I don't. I begin at the false keel and work to the top. Because the stern part has a strange angle I want to see how it goes when I reach the top. Then I can " play " with the planks. And then for the people who are thinking that my work room is to clean.... Don't look now ! It's one big mess with all the saw dust around !

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.
