    Dear all, after a long time I am in the workshop again 🙂 this is my new model Taka, kind of boat which has been in service till 1990's or so in black sea region of Turkey, mainly used for cargo or fishing purposes. the model will be a diaroma, so no planking below the water line. I applied some weathering to one side, later to be applied to all parts. Mehmet

    dear all after multiple trials with the resin, I am finished at last :-) I admit that fishes in the crates look awkward :-) next will be the wooden frame and display box.

    dear all thank you very much for your nice comments and likes, attached are the 2 figures in the boat, the captain was a tank commander, had his stripes and medals removed. also he had a coat and a belt which were also removed and filled with putty. In fact he was holding a cap in one hand and a water bottle in the other just about to drink from it. I had to exchange the hands with the other guy who is pulling a fish net. now the captain will hold the rudder with one hand light a cigarette with the other :-) due to improper light figures are not seen much clearly, I will add more soon :-)

    hello every body, this time I am so motivated to build a diaroma. and the first step; building the boat :-) model is based on a drawing of a boat which was reported to be about 4-5 m. by the drawer. due to scaling issues in my scale it is now around 7 m. I also did ome modifications on the deck.

    hello everybody some progress so far, I have made the deck items such as crab traps, barrels, buckets and buoyancy materials. .....and figures. Figure faces are awful I know :-) especially captain's face looks as if he has recently been out from a horror movie....I do not know what to do....in you tube videos all look pretty easy to make. I guess it will be finished in few weeks mehmet

    Hello Some more progresss with weathering, hope its not over dose :-)
  18. mhmtyrl
    dear all I will be glad if you have any ideas about my question; actually I was planning the deck buildings to be in the color of the photo below (Dagmar Aaen, Germany). in the records it says that oregon pine was used for this (if I am not wrong). I also used pine (it was all wet when I found it and was in the color I wanted) and applied around 3-4 layers of varnish on it but I could not reach the color I like, what would you suggest for that? pinotex? if pinotex which color? oak? pine? thanks Mehmet the reference for the picture; http://www.hajkutter.dk/program-2015/sejl-med-alle-dage/galleri/deltagende-skibe/hajkuttere/dagmar-aaen-de

    thank you patrick :-)

    hello everybody I have made some progress, deck buildings are constructed (not glued to the deck yet) and the body is painted-weathered. some salt streaks are applied to the outer hull. in order to remove the paint at random locations, I first applied varnish to the whole body and painted aftterwards when dried. Applying the masking tape and detaching it at random locations leads to loss of paint on those areas, but better to be carefull....as a large area of paint can be lost :-) which actually happened in the green painted area of the outer hull....
  21. mhmtyrl
    hello every body, progress so far.... I would like to have your opinion, do you think the inside of the bullwark be better painted or left plain as in the photos? thanks Mehmet
  22. mhmtyrl
    thank you :-) this time I tried hard to make it look more like traditional with stealer planks etc :-)
  23. mhmtyrl
    thank you Patrick, hope she will be exactly like how you described. More over, I will add some figures; my new habbit :-)
  24. mhmtyrl

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.
