    Precision itself 👌

    Second bulwark rail in place, it needs the final sending still. I have started planking the deck furniture. First latrine under the planks.

    @DPK I completely got your point and agree. The complexity of the build is quite high and it is more and more dificult once I'm coming to the details. I have one more question.... It is on more placnes but now I'm about to finish latrine and they have knobs, if I rememder correctly the number it should be 44 and 45 from photo etched plate. Both are full circles. It is meant to cut one circle and solder again or how should I progress There? If I do solder I would use the rounded wire instead of that part. Thanks for the advice! Btw thanks a lot about compliment regarding the build. Much appreciated! PetaV

    Bowsprit. It is carved from square stock. Lot of sanding again. I had to enlarge the hole in the bow to meet the dimension of the bowsprit. It took me while to get the right dimension and also right direction as bow sprit has to go through 3 holes that needs to be aligned. Once all is aligned the bowsprit can go through the bitt - > to the hole in the bow - > to the bowsprit yoke on the stem To its final position Quite a task I have to admit. Still I think I need to adjust the height of the bitt as the bowsprit points litlle bit down!

    Looking forward to see the result. I'm going to be jelaous 😭

    @DPK Hi mate, I have noticed something what I would improve. I have described it to the colleague Who is building AVOS and is not too far for this. Perhaps it is something you might be interested in? Thanks

    Hi Jim. Seeing your progress I have one idea how to make an improvement. Unfortunately for me it was too late when I have noticed it It is regarding inner structure of the gun and oar ports. In the kit this is done from plywood which for an eye is distracting as it has different lighter colour This should be fairly easy to improve and make it from pear as well so all is in same kind of wood. Instead of those parts I would use some spare pear wood from the kit. There is enough for that. And you would also need to adjust the respective frames. I would cut of the thin top layer of plywood and replace it with pear veneer (again enough screp wood in the box). I think this is fairly easy to do and it will look great on the model! Perhaps you could consider it since you are still OK to do this. I have noticed too late when I have the bulwark planking glued in place PetaV

    Did I say last time something about tiny? Well this is tiny. Belfry assembly. Tafrel is after 2 layers of oil and I added the decoration. First I have blackend it and then gave it a send with 1500 grit Sand paper so the brass re-appear in the pronounced areas

    This is something and a half! I would love to see this beauty with my own eyes. I still can't believe this is possible to create! You are TRUE MASTER mate! So inspiring. CONGRATS

    Things are starting to get really tiny. Bowsprit bitt. There will be also bellfry on it.

    Before instalation of the bulwark rails I had to clean and smooth the gunports and oar ports The rail is made from 2 layers and each layer has 3 pieces of black wood. Again everything fits perfect which I guess should not surprise me anymore

    Finalization of the taffrel and counter. After one layer of oil. The surface looks very nice and it is very smooth Iron works on the stem.

    Ohh man... Please protect her and show where you (and if possible others) can enjoy! It would be pitty to let such a impresive model "Die" 👏
  15. Peta_V
    Congrats! It is a Master piece 👌

    Today I finished the wales and started finishing the taffrel with counter. This is propably most dificult part of the ship. First you have to cut the correct shape to wales so the counter fits without gaps. Second you have to shape the counter so it meets flush with the wales. Third the edge of the tafrel and counter can be planked. It is not easy 🙄I glued all the parts of rail but it needs a lot of sending still.

    It is really working well. Thanks for great advice Etsinko.
  18. Peta_V
    Rocket start! You will catch me very soon with this pace👍 Very happy to see another AVOS build!
  19. Peta_V
    Sounds very good! 👌

    Hi Etsinko, Interesting technique, Just this morning I was preparing the wales and thought it would be hard to glue and do not mess the surranding planks with glue residual. This might solve my problem. I will for sure try out. Thanks. So far I use only PVA glue for planking and sometimes superglue where the plank did not stick 100% (which would be not possible using for wales).

    Good luck with the build. Have a fun👍

    Where the plywood gone?
  23. Peta_V
    I can only recomend to do so! I can't even explain how I'm enjoying this kit.

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.
