    Hi Paul, your progress of nailing work is very nice.

    Many thanks Nils as always. Hi Robin. Thank you for your interest on my build. For your question, I'm sorry but I could not catch your point due to my poor English. Anyway, I have very little knowledge about historical stove but I just follow the design of it as shown in Goodwin's book of ATOS. Cheers.

    Two more upper deck beams and main transverse bulkhead with door and stanchion Cheers, Lee

    Hi Antony, Nils and David many thanks. I'm so flattered. ^^;

    Metal stove, sailor room and 7th deck beam With pre-blackened thin copper sheet, metal stove was remade. In this work, wood mold was used and the metal parts was joined with CA glue. The blackened result looks better than previous one. The sailor room was built between main mast and hatch. Metal hinges for the door and window were simulated with copper strip just for decoration. Cheers, Lee

    Many thanks friends for the kind words. Hi, Nils. Of course. That would be my pleasure.

    Hi, Gabriel. I can't believe what I see. Fully frame built with details under 1/300. Just amazing work. You must have microscope eyes and fingers. Lee

    Upper deck progress Up to now, 6th deck beam has fitted. Making small fittings takes much time. Windlass, fore companion way grating were placed. Small metal stove has been tried with Cu foil but the result was too shiny and unbalanced with surrounding wood color, so I'll remake it with blackened Cu foil. Cheers, Lee

    Hi, Kurt. I didn't use any jig but eye measurement. Just try and you will find the way. Thank you, Nils for the interest about fishing ship. I add some more close up pics. The large capstan seems to be used to haul heavy fishing net. Actually, there was no information about the deck beam structures, so, I did them with imagination.

    Thank you David. Yes, I like to work with hand tools but, I don't have tenacity of hand tool. I just want not to make any inconveniences to my neighbors with the noise from power tools. I live in an apartment... Of course, when I treat timbers, I use power tools and machines at the public workshop in my hometown. Cheers, Lee

    Hi, Kurt. Thank you for your compliment and interest. This Alert is my third model ship building. The first one was "Azorean whale boat" and second one was "Marie Adelaide" the herring fishing boat at the northern Europe sea. Both of them were full framed scratch built and I think they are unique examples because I can't find any similar one from googling. Unfortunately, I have no chance of kit building and rigging yet. Alert is my first trial of battle ship and I hope I get a chance of rigging practice. Following photos are finished "Marie Adelaide" of unplanked version. I built her based on the basic plans from the book "Souvenirs de Marine (Amiral Paris)" Cheers, Lee

    Thank you Druxey, Antony, John for your worm words. Hi, Nick. I use general woodworking tools such as fret saw, razor saw, low angle block plane and shoulder plane. Special miniature planes, as posted at #90, are useful. I made miniature chisels with small flat screw drivers. Stationary cutting knife was also very useful for me. Hummm nothing special

    Hi, John. Congratulate your beautiful frame work finishing. Sectioning the hull seems to be good idea for interior detailing. I may follow you.

    Progress of deck Thank you Nils and friends as always. Deck beams were added one by one with related fittings. Up to now, 4th deck beam, carrick bitt pins, fore companion way and coaming have been installed. Standards for bitt pins and windrass spindle will be added after upper deck planking. Cheers, Lee
  15. Jaekon Lee
    Compartment of fore bulkhead and pawl bitt pins Little progress on and below the fore upper deck. Pair of pawl bitt pins will support the bowsprit. Half of fore bulkhead and access door to boatswain's room were planked. For the starboard side, only the bulkhead stanchion structure was built. Cheers, Lee
  16. Jaekon Lee
    I agree with you, Kurt. If you have to use 1/32, consider beveled shoulder rather than rabbeting.
  17. Jaekon Lee
    Great start, Dave! Dream ship of the modelers.
  18. Jaekon Lee
    Hi, Kurt. Thickness of planking strake is about 1.5mm and the shoulder is rabbeted to half of thickness.
  19. Jaekon Lee
    Thank you Nils for your compliment. There are some limitations in 1/64 scale to simulate fine details. I think 1/48 would be the best choice for the modeling. Cheers

    Fore upper deck Hi, all friends. I'm very happy with your kind words and comments. Still I can not decide the method and material for bolting on hull planking, I moved to upper deck work as below. I'm not sure l can keep the carlings as well aligned with the progress of work. Regards. Lee
  21. Jaekon Lee
    So beautiful work, Albert.

    Port side hull and square tuck planking Cheers, Lee
  23. Jaekon Lee
    Thanks, Druxey and David. Druxy, the depth of rabbet is half of strake thickness but the depth was gradually increased to the full thickness of strake at the fore and aft ends for the carvel planking. Yes, the miniature tools are from Lee Valley made by Veritas. These miniature tools are useful especially for the light cut of miniature modeling work though longer time is required than power tools. Cheers, Lee
  24. Jaekon Lee
    Thank you Nils, Mike, Alex and Antony for your compliment. Antony, I took pictures of planking procedure. I hope they are helpful. I usually use miniature shoulder plane to make a rabbet at the top side of strake. Cheers, Lee

    Progress of port side hull planking About half of port side hull has been planked up to now. It takes so many time and rework than I expected. I thought there will be a little chance of fairing of clinker type planking, I was careful on work. However, I found there are many unsatisfied area. I learn that "Do not believe the view by eye." and taking picture is much helpful to check the result. Cheers, Lee .

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.
