    Hello, it is done. At least the wheels are ready build. Next to build are the two supporters for the wheels.

    Thank you Nils.

    Hello, because today the summer ended we had here the last weeks and it rained again the whole day, I was busy at the yard. This is cutter No. 3 and I think now it works. The handles are a little too bulky, but when they are slimmer they would break. The spooks have a Ø of 1,6 mm! Now are only 17+ spooks left
  24. Siggi52
    Hello, the first results. I think, tomorrow I have to make the cutter new. But it is an interesting material and cuts better then wood.
  25. Siggi52
    Hello, and many thanks for all the likes and nice comments. Today I will start making the spokes for the wheels. I hope, I could present the first spokes this evening.
  26. Siggi52
    Hello, the wheels. They kept me busy this week, and other things like my garden. But now they are in the raw ready. I think I must not explain the pictures and then that So, go back to start, and try again This time I made the beads before I cut the rim loose. The shipwright is pleased. In the foreground you see some of the spokes. They are from mammoth ivory. So, if you hear nothing from me the next weeks, I'm busy or I had thrown it all away. I hope not.

    Hello Marc, what I use to cut brass wires is a cutter for finger or toe nails. I grind one side thin, so that I could cut also small diameters. For soldering I use almost a soldering fluid. Then you needs only a small amount of tin on your soldering iron and it would flow evenly. If brass is to stubborn to bend, I would use copper wire.

    I never saw there a gangway. The only one left is the gangway from the QD to the entrance and then further to the FC. So it seems to be a mysterious!
  29. Siggi52
    Hello Chris, no, I think not. It's the plan for the 1745 establishment and there the poop deck. At the QD are the cabins for the officers, and at the sheer plan is there nothing drawn. For the Tiger did't exist a plan for the poop deck. So at least I must not build there anything.

    Hello, and many thanks for the likes Today the carpenters build the grating over the lobby. All the beams are now fast, except the two in front of the bulwark. One question, did anybody know what these encircled parts should be? But before I start with planking, I think I build the wheels.
  31. Siggi52
    Hello, the last bulwark(?) between captains bed place and the lobby is installed. Before I install the deck beams I have to make a decision, where to place the cannons? All sources say, there where 8 6 pdrs at the QD and 2 6 pdrs at the FC. But I never saw a model with a cannons at the FC! At least there is not so much space for cannons. That cannon to the left has the problem with the shrouds, and the cannon to the right with the hight of the fife rail. At least I could place all cannons at the QD, without one in the captain cabin. That would make the captain happy. And that is what you see at most of the models. If no one has a veto, I think I build it so.
  32. Siggi52
    Hello, my finger is so far useable again and so I finished today the bulwark.
  33. Siggi52
    Hello, today only a short sign of life. The carpenters finished the bulwark and the painter painted it. But the windows have to wait a while, because of my damaged index finger. It't not soo serious, but without a complete fingernail I could't grab these small parts.

    Thank you Ian. Yes, there will be two cut outs.

    Thank you Keith

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.
