    Kay,

     

    I've been advised by others that you might be able to put me in touch with Karl Heinz Marquardt? He and I corresponded in 1996 about my work examining the origin of Chaleur (1763-1768) and I would like to give him an update of my book progress. You may have seen my post about this earlier, and in fact you may have already replied (there were so many kind replies that I have not kept track of all of them!). Please give Karl my very best wishes, and that I am very eager to hear from him.

     

    I can be reached directly at windships@earthlink.net  Thanks very much.

     

    Randy

    Hello Jan, The letters I have made with the fretsaw, sawn from 2 mm pearwood. Regards Kay

    Hello, long, long ago, but to my excuse I must say, it does not go faster. I make every plank one by one, it must bend, let dry and then glue. This takes a while. Here are some pictures. The underwater hull is almost finished. The windows at the rear are also in it. The next images are then, if that's underwater hull finished. Regards kay

    The cannon is designed as a pattern and was turned free hand. The wood is only clamped in a drill. The wood at the stern is pear. I had forgotten to show that I had already cut the gunports. Work was also done at the stern. The "Hennegat" was again made and the gunports were moved still somewhat direction sternpost. Some of the gunports on the cow bridge are still missing, as the position is not yet clear. Regards kay

    This is roughly the state of the building. I then made the windows at the stern, where a friend said they looked horrible. So I again made it new. And further I have built a 18 pound cannon, which is to serve as a model for pouring. @zoly, yes, Robert Volk write a book, only in german https://www.amazon.de/Arbeitstechniken-f%C3%BCr-Schiffsmodellbau-Robert-Volk/dp/3881807047/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477856285&sr=8-1&keywords=arbeitstechniken+im+schiffsmodellbau Regards kay

    And it went on with grind, grind and grind again. Now the beam of the stern were prepared and inserted into the whole structure. Next, the keel, the stem, and the sternpost were made and glued. In these the rabbet was incorporated. Regards kay

    And it goes on. The outer edge of the frames has been blackened to have a reference point when grinding. Now the hull was filled with plywood, according to the method of Robert Volk / germany. The method yields a very solid hull. @Elijah: With the jigsaw, handwork ! @sjors : Yes, the Black Forest is a very nice area, I like to live here! @all: Thanks for your comments !

    hi Guys, The construction started with the marking of the keel from the plan. The plan is a construction drawing, it is not made for model building. All dimensions are in 1:1. As always, everything is then sawn out and put together. Pictures say more than 1000 words, so see! Regards kay

    Hi Guys, At the beginning of the year, I began to build the Dutch flagship De Eendracht for a good friend. My friend Werner has been reconstructing the ship for about 16 years, and has been traveling a lot in the Netherlands in the archives. He gave me the manuscript of his book and the plans of the ship. The Eendracht was built in Rotterdam in 1654 by the shipbuilders Goossen Schalck van der Arent and Jan Salomonszon van der Tempel. The ship had a length of 152 feet and a width of 38 feet. The ship was armed in 1654 with 58 guns. The Eendracht was the flagship of Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam in the naval battle of Lowesoft, where she exploded. Since there are many drawings by van de Velde from the Eendracht, I have laid down the basis for the Brielle van de Velde. And off we go, we're going to build. Here the van de Velde drawings of Brielle Regards Kay

    Hi Guys, again a life sign from me. Here, the most recent Royal William. A small film about them. I will pause with William now that I, the Eendracht, a Dutch flagship 1654 1:50 am building for a friend. I then start also an building report on the Eendracht. Regards Kay

    Thank you all ! Regards Kay

    It continued at Galion. See for yourselves. And yet a side view of the vessel. Regards Kay
  34. kay
    Hi Guys, Long, long ago's, but now it goes on. The Galion was built again apart, it was too narrow and the horses too fat. So it looks now, and I think I can leave it.

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.
