    Small update. The anchors and oars holders. The each anchor are soldered from two photo etched parts. The material is brass. Chemically blackened. Rings coiled rope, then painted in black. Stubble removed using a burner. The oars holders from steel pins. Regards Antanas

    Brian,coils look absolutely real! Very good job. Congratulations! Except one first on the left side. To many glue. But maybe it must dry? I use the similar technology, but diluted the white glue with water. Proportion about 1: 3. The glue then is not visible. If I need to change the shape of the coil, used the hot air gun. The coil become more soft and are easy to change it shape. The model looks very well. Nice and clean. Many details as in real ship! I impatiently look forward to the next model. Regards Antanas

    Thank You Fam. I add only minimum improvements. And this can do any builder, I'll think. Master Korabel recommended this kit as the first model for beginners. Regards Antanas

    All jobs on the hull are done and now time to oil. I use the carnauba and candelilla wax based breathable tung oil. It dries within 24 hours, full polymerization time about 6 month. I place 2 layers of the oil. Now leave to dry for a week. Regards Antanas

    Small update. The hatches looks not very well. So, I added the rings. Now they looks better. Improved the look of the chain plates. They are made from brass. But photo etched parts are not have very hight quality. The files and sandpaper help me. And mounted deadeyes. From brass sheet made the swivel gun pedestals fittings. Regards Antanas

    The next - the rudder. Sanding the details to remove the dark surface. The rudder blank has been processed so as to more correspond to the actual rudder. To the kit brass parts added 4 brass tubes.Tubes soldered to brass parts. But before the brass strips shape are changed. For this I use the 1,8 mm diameter drill. The bras parts are chemically blackened. The tiller painted using the black ink. And everything installed into place. Regards Antanas

    Carl, please the one end of the copper wire near the torch flame. The copper will begin to melt and will go to a ball. The diameter of the ball will depend on the storage time in the flame and wire thickness. Regards Antanas

    Hi Carl. The molten copper. Some years ago I try to make from the solder, but the result not satisfied me. Regards Antanas

    The double boat was the first kit of the Master Korabel. And they use the Amati swivel guns. The quality of the swivel guns are bad. The bores seems very bad. But I do not want to change them. I think that this should be done only at the last resort. Otherwise, it would then model from a kit? I'll try to change the look of the swivel guns. At the first make the barrels more short. About 0,3 mm. Then repair the bore using the conical mill. Now the bore have correct shape. And corrected the trunnion shape. Rounded them and reduced the length. And blackening bores and trunnions. Now they looks much better. The next step is to add the handles to the swivel guns. I make them from the copper wire using the gas torch. Make the beads at the wire ends. Regards Antanas

    Now time for the swivel guns pedestals. Sanded to get the normal wood look. Every pedestal are individually adapted to its place. Then drilled the holes in the pedestals ends and glued to its places. Add the last two cleats and steel rings. The U shape mounts for the swivel guns are made from brass. They are simple photo etched parts and need the some sanding too. The details are small and I used the my magnifying glass. Before bending I anneal the brass parts, because during the bending process they can break. Then the parts are chemically blackening. And finally from steel pins made the U shaped mounts axis. That's all at this time. Regards Antanas

    Hello all! Some weeks I not worked on my model. Migrated from my old Windows XP notebook to iMac. It was not easy... But I do it and have some free time for my models! At first make the holes for anchors rope. Painted the hole in black. But the most difficult place was the main plank-sheer. He was broken four o six times. But successfully glued in the place... When added the knees the situation will become much better. Part of the plank-sheer painted in black using the ink. Regards Antanas

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.
