popeye the sailor replied to Bernie_S's topic in Plastic model kits
he must have an older kit, if he doesn't have any of this info.......the kit has been reissued a couple of times. heck......I likely have some other info on the ship.......I'll look through my stuff. -
Lindberg "Jolly Roger" Instructions
popeye the sailor replied to Bernie_S's topic in Plastic model kits
here are steps 42 and 43 in case you need them......... really not a difficult kit, if you have knowledge of how these ships are rigged. as I recall, there were a couple of problems with this kit........the decks have a problem lining up and the absence of hawse holes for the anchor. I just drilled a couple of holes at the bow and called it good. what I ended up with was this........ now, I didn't use those silly rings.......I used blocks that I had saved from a 1:96 ship kit I though I had a picture of -

Lindberg "Jolly Roger" Instructions
popeye the sailor replied to Bernie_S's topic in Plastic model kits
you have a free hand......no real proof that the Jolly Rogers existed. the term Jolly Roger was the name for the flag that they flew.......it was also a mystical ship found only in Disney movies. you could easily do her as the Flora....as a matter of fact, I may have some info on her. at one time, I had all three kits.......the Jolly Rogers, the Flying Dutchman {glo in the dark version}, and the Henry Morgan...this kit could be bashed into the Wappen Von Hamburg. see if you can open this.......shoot! can't do that I'll PM you I'd be happy to post the rest of the rigging -

looks like quite a project -
your done with the 'bug eyed bandit' does look neat though and the paint and added details fill out some of the gaps. I do see what you mean.....it doesn't look realistic. if the body was the normal size and shape, it might look probable. the engine compartment isn't closed off from the interior, so that may be the source of a turn off. it is a nice model though......a scratch builder's dream

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.
