    I don't know if I asked it before... What kind of lighting and placement of it (top, bottom) dou you suggest for the case I'm preparing for? Thank you
  2. drtrap
    Thank you so much, Jason! It's been a really long time…

    Of course all these photos are not the finals but I'm very close to the end Some final touch up and trimming is needed
  4. drtrap
    I think that is a very interesting custom made tool, that's why I'm presenting you in successive steps/pics my personal jig to form deck coils
  5. drtrap
    And a couple od additional pics,,,

    Greetings to everyone, despite the many professional obligations the shipyard continues its work all this time, I will be with you soon with several photos from the completion of the ship after a long time, thank you

    Thank you Andrew, it is a fact that this particular part and fitting of the model I wanted to represent it as best I could

    Hello everybody, I think I'm almost finished with the braces and the additional lines...
  14. drtrap
    Small, current updates of my work I've left a lot of spaghetti-threads on the deck just to feel secure enough before I freeze or trim them down. A real symmetry of the lines and the respective tension of the threads is needed at this stage

    Thank you Jason. After so many years, a touch of real progress was needed...

    It was a remarkable real challenge trying to tie and attach those pairs of single blocks "in situ".... My arthroscopic skills helped a lot on this
  17. drtrap
    Dear Jason, thank you for replying so promptly!
  18. drtrap
    Hi Jason could you please be more specific about the above mentioned technique with the diluted glue to keep the alignment of the lines the best I can? I understand there is a technique to stabilize/fix the best I can those rope lines, but so far I haven't discovered i to make things easier… Thank you

    Hello again, a couple of pics just as a brief photo update... Currently I'm preparing the spritsail braces, pics to follow
  20. drtrap
    The shipyard is very busy last days…
  21. drtrap
    Last weeks are spent trying to understand strategy and the correct way to fix the braces…. Starting from top to bottom, from front to back, some tips important that I should know in advance…?? A real headache again
  22. drtrap
    I ve left a lot of spare fittings and rope-threads to improve later as a final touch up procedure. Now I really feel that i'm close to the finish. I plan to create a custom made base and to support/stabilize the keel with those two 2mm metal rods. I hope the model to be stable and safe

    After a long time I think I've fisished all the masts clues and cluelines. I'm about to upload some pics. Thank you
  24. drtrap
    Hi ccoyle, and thank you for the reply/comment. Yes I know what you are saying, just trying to make some choices for the model that will last longer over time. Thanks again
  25. drtrap
    As the ship slowly nears her end I start to think about what options do I have regarding her cover/case. My main concerns are named below: * the case will be made of visual quality glass or plastic? * a wooden frame/skeleton will be preferable? * what people suggest about its led lighting, coming from the top, from the bottom or from both sides and most importantly out of the case (as the minor temperature to not affect sensitive structures like glues, ropes etc) or not? Thank you in advance for your suggestions mates. Stergios

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.
