    Steadily getting things done. both sides I have finished the big ropes and putting irons. Now just the shrouds (?) I really have to get back into english terminology again. I also started to machine the lion for the front figurehead. Followers know I am into CNC for building the ornaments.
  16. YankeeD
    I have started again as said. As the ship has been finished from 'wood' point of view I started the rigging. I will not finish the ship in full. I intend to do a sort of 'while laying in harbour for great maintenance". So no sails, guns out. That means I will rigg only the main rigging. I have no experience in knotting so it will be learn by doing... Enjoy the day. Hans.
  17. YankeeD started following I am sad and devastated to announce the passing of Jim Byrnes, my dear friend and owner of Model Machines and De Zeven Provinciën 1665 by YankeeD - Scale 1:50 - according to drawings by Mr. O. Blom - First wooden scratch ship build

    Yeps. It was him..... I recently picked up building again after an extensive downtime. I do remeber a Constant from that forum yes.
  19. YankeeD
    I have also been off-side and just heard about this sad news. My condolences go to his family. Having a very close, young (37) relative being diagnosed with ALS I know how this disease can hit you like a rock. Hans.
  20.    YankeeD reacted to a post in a topic: CNC used for making parts for ship parts building?
  21. YankeeD
    I thought about 3D printer before but got told that smaller details tend to vanish... I mean details around 0.1mm and up. As resolution of home 3D printers are not that good.
  22. YankeeD
    I only done wood. Never done metal sofar.

    I like the prover very much. For the money its absolutely giving value. I started with the 3018 but found that too 'lightweight' and sold it off to buy the 3040. I use flip over technique. so I design two sided and turn the piece on the table. Easy, once you know how to do this. Just some random pics to show you.
  24. YankeeD
    I wonderred if not more people used a CNC machine for making model ship parts? And if it is not worthwhile to make a seperate forum for this like 3D and CAD. This to share experiences, plans, drawings etc.... I do use it quite regularly. My set up: Sainsmart prover XL 3040 Vectric aspire 11 Hans.

    Its been an enormous long time since my last post. Sorry for that. Work has progressed though. All the gunports were finished so on to the masts and the putting irons. I think the pictures show how I did them.

    No I will try them next week. As I have no time to hobby right now. I will let you know. I am very much interested in the castello boxwood. I just need some teste to see how it colours when tretated

    Dear Vahur, Thanks very much for the order. SUPERB.... just 1 word. I will surely come back after holidays with an order for wood. Hans.
  31. YankeeD
    Finished the starboard side. On to the next. I will fit 1 or 2 gun carriages at a later stage. Just to show how they were done/placed. I already said I want to build a kind of Harbour rig although not determined how that will look. So I will develop that as I proceed.

    Hi, Is there an update on the milling blades? As I own a Byrnes saw and my blades are running out I am searching for new blades in the EU. Rgds Hans.

    Well its been a while. As said in january I had a break. I recently picked up again. Not as often as I would like, but every week i get something done again. First thing I did was finishing the transom. I did de sculptures again on the right scale on the CNC as I done them before but found them just too small. After that is tarted to work on the gunport hinges. I tried metal first but didnt like it. So next step was to design them into CNC. I am happy with the results. I will finish both sides before I will head on to the 'roping' business. 0

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.
