    Y.T, at the time I have no idea what brought her down. Considering she was smaller with less mast height and slightly wider beam there are speculations there was other factors that brought her down. The conditions of her are really bad more torn up makes the researcher to believe she went down in a battle. The ship Vasa's little sister Falken found - Stockholm University

    That looks amazing, my 40 year old Constructo model is not finished yet and have a lot of brass parts as for superstucture.

    After watching a video clip about full size plank bending where they used distilled vinegar, I thought to give this a shot. I am so happy I found that trick as it worked out very well for me. Vinegar breaks down the molecules and softens the wood, applying heat to get the curves and bending and you have the shape. The distilled vinegar doesn't change the color of the wood. Application time about 10 minutes

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.
