    Thank you Jon. I have not fully planned everything I will do from the beginning to the end of the buid. I am deciding according to the development. I will cover only one side of the hatch coaming, just like you said. I want the gun deck to be as much visible as possible, Spar deck planking will also be very minimal.

    Hatch coaming was glued and painted.

    I used self adhesive copper foil tape. I remember I shared a few photos in my build log about how I implemented it. (Something like in the link below) https://tr.aliexpress.com/item/32876412753.html?src=google

    Thank you very much for your interest Bruce. Like everyone else on this forum, I'd be happy to help. Please don't hesitate to ask whenever you need.

    Infrastructure of the main hatch coaming has been completed. Nothing is glued yet.

    While the construction of the main hatch coaming was continuing, I also started making the gratings.
  7. mtbediz
    No problem Peter
  8. mtbediz
    No problem, Jon.

    It is the camera of my cell phone Peter. This camera is doing a really good job.

    I have started fabricating the main hatch coaming.
  11. mtbediz
    Main mast bitts have been fabricated and mounted in place.

    Thank you so much Peter.

    Thank you so much Greg.

    I had to think for a long time about how I could put the pieces together. This was a real challenge,for me especially on this scale.
  15. mtbediz
    Great job on the gun rigging. I gave up adding tackles to the guns in my Constitution model because I couldn't produce blocks that fit the scale. Maybe I'll try doing it again for the spar deck guns.

    Double pumps were completed.This has been the equipment I have had the most difficulty in manufacturing and assembling so far.
  17. mtbediz
    The first gun deck bilge pump has been painted and installed in place.

    Thank you Greg. Normally, I do not paint the brass material, I just blacken it with chemicals, but since I use solder here, I have to paint it because the solder does not blacken with the chemical. I don't blacken the brass before painting, I just paint it with acrylic paint and apply matte spray varnish after the paint dries.

    Thank you so much my friend.
  20. mtbediz
    I have assembled the gun deck bilge pump parts in place for testing. The brass parts will be painted black.
  21. mtbediz
    You are way ahead of me in the paint business. Good job!
  22. mtbediz
    Half of the spar deck beams are completed. I can only complete one beam and its connected knees per day.
  23. mtbediz
    I glued the ropes with CA to the frame, where I marked with a red circle in the picture. While gluing, I stretch the rope with a pair of tweezers that I extend below. So it looks like it's tied somewhere below. The end of the rope is not tied to anything, I found such a solution.
  24. mtbediz
    Great job on the metal, Greg. Looks like brass material, have you ever thought of blackening it? It looks more realistic.
  25. mtbediz
    Added stancions and hand ropes around the main hatch while it is still accessible.

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.
