    The oil has dried out. Color in natural light.
  22. KORTES
    Yes, a very beautiful hull.
  23. KORTES
    Basically, I have finished the longboat. I don’t see the point in further detalisation. There will anyway be a boat on top. I didn’t do the the rudder as well, because I don’t have to install it anyway. All that’s left is to cover it with oil.
  24. KORTES
    Unfortunately I couldnt use the boards the second time. Maybe they will come in handy for the covering of a small lifeboat.
  25. KORTES
    I went back to the old technology. And got the expected result. Now the filling has to be done.
  26. KORTES
    I made a technological mistake and here is the result. I will have to try again.🙂 Meanwhile I am tuning the Proxxon circular saw, a gift for the New Year. Some components are very crude and require some changes. My best regards
  27. KORTES
    The first option went to the trash can. The form seems to be sheathed well, but it’s impossible to remove the shell. Something hasn’t been done fully probably. Apparently I will have to remake the form, and make it from three parts that can be disassembled.
  28. KORTES
    While the oil is drying out, I decided to start with the boat and longboat. I made two “pieces” and now deciding which manufacturing method to choose.
  29. KORTES
    As expected, the wood has changed color, the complete drying out , will be in two weeks, I guess
  30. KORTES
    I have coated the deck and deck elements with oil.
  31. KORTES
    The bollards were quite challenging to make. I tried several options until I found the right installation method.
  32. KORTES
    I have built shelves for storing cannonballs. I will use balls from bearings as cannonballs, I bought two sizes for carronades and for cannons. After blackening they look quite good.
  33. KORTES
    Restoration.
  34. KORTES
    Concomitant damage. I was too quick to install it, while I was working on the wheel ,deck organizer was damaged.
  35. KORTES
    I have finished the ladder.

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.
