Thank you so much my friend, and talking about to start a new build log, I don't think so because my camera is broken...maybe some pictures made by the phone but that's all!Best regards, Ricardo. -

Well, the Montañés is finished . At the end, I placed the flag that had bought years ago. I did another one in paper, and was pretty cool though, but I couldn't find the tone of yellow that I would have liked. I was also complicated thing because I could not print fine colors in my printer so, I have chosen the flag from Artesania Latina. You can see both together in a photo so you can judge them . Anchors have been changed by larger ones , were also purchased a couple of years ago on a visit to Madrid ( I think it was in the same package as flags ) also added chain rudder, and the latest maneuvers were braces and bowlines . After all these years (4), I managed to make a success of the model. The truth is that it was a nice project. With its ups and downs , like everything in life , but I learned a lot about this type of ships, especially its rigging. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out in the end, I think it has been worth all the effort to improve this kit Montanes. Some things badly there, but the truth is that the planes of the rigging are quite painful. Too bad for oCcre at this stage Oh my God, I wish I coud made better photos but I couldn't find a decent background. I'm gonna make some reforms to accommodate the boats, and at that time I will make the story as it deserves. And now, if you do not feel bad, I'll summarize the Montañes ... "MONTAÑES, Spanish Ship of the Line 80 cannons" - Trafalgar, October 21, 1805 - TIME 0- 80h : Structure and covered decks , cabins ... to put the first timbers to planking the hull. 80 - 160h : Planking finished and varnished gunwales included . 160- 162h : Stem, stern and keel. 162- 172h : Open the gunports. 172- 200h : Gunwales, open the 3rd gunport in the castle, seats of ease, bow elevation including upper cheek, lower middle and upper head rail, and also the gratings and the catheads. 200 -240h : Stairs, fife rails for belaying pins and model pin rail fixed to bulkwarks, bell, kitchen chimneys, stern and galleries ( with windows and curtains), outside cabins . 240- 325H : Cannons with rigging, cannon portholes, winches, plating, stern gardens, lining tables, chests, cabinets and lights signal flags, poop lanterns and hammock netting with iron cranes, more or less 280 hammocks. 325- 380h : Lower section of the masts and fish . 380- 392H : Fore channels and tee plates made in steel and dead eyes. 392- 396h : Fitting the blocks to the masts. 396- 421h : Shrouds : 1h each pair ( 25h ) 421- 431H : Stays lower section with the mouse .... 2h each stay (10h) 431- 450h : Ratlines: clove hitch around 1200min (20h ) 450- 478h : Standing rigging masts and shrouds and ratlines topgallant masts ( 28h ) 478- 500h : Stays and contrastays of masts and topgallant masts (22h ) 500 - 556h : Turning and painted the yards, and stay sails ( 56h ) 556- 570H : Small boat 1 : (14h ); Small boat 2 and oars: ( 9h) 570- 656H : Square sails ( 86h ) Total approximate ........ 670H QUANTITIES -Thread 20 coils of 20m and 100m. 500metros Occre 300metros proposed in the instructions but there are maneuvers that do not appear and I do not have waste. - Nail Over 3000 nails. - Knots 1610 clove hitches in the ratlines.

More pics... I added a second boat on the deck and also you can see the sails of the bowsprit: spritsail course and topsail, outer and inner jib, and fore topmast staysail. Enjoy, Ricardo. -

Well, the end has happened. Always get care, and when I see one of these things in the forum I was put the willies praying that does not happen to me. By going to catch a big brush to varnish the wooden terrace of my house I have rotated and elbow I hit the boat. It sounded a "crack" sound and as my heart has shrunk. I turned and I saw the jibboom in an unnatural position Time to attach the sails... -

Direct orders from the Admiralty (my wife). If you get sawdust then it must be cleaned! -

Jibstay, martingale stay, bobstay and bowsprit shrouds and lot more! I hope you like! I also have all the yards turned and painted, so I have that I no longer play any tool to the end of this project, and whether some touch up paint at the end of everything. For the octagonal section of the yards I used thicker sticks to get the octagonal smooth turning and then I have the rest of the yard. The effect has been decent, not perfect but still very apparent. Best regards... -

Stays and backstays on the model. I strictly follow the Petterson in that stepsand was very useful since the kit planes are pretty bad and incomplete. Best regards, Ricardo.

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.
