NMBROOK got a reaction from mtaylor in MORDAUNT 1681 by NMBROOK - Euromodel - 1:60 - Beyond Bashed
Thank you very much Mark The contemporary model of her has black combings and waterways on the maindeck,I have chosen to follow this,but extend it to the gundeck combings.I am also considering making the bitts and capstans from ebony.
Merry Christmas(actually xmas day here now )

NMBROOK got a reaction from cog in MORDAUNT 1681 by NMBROOK - Euromodel - 1:60 - Beyond Bashed
I carefully reduced the thickness of the complete grating to just over 1mm using a mini sanding disc in my Proxxon IB/e.The grating was then wetted and clamped to a plywood former with slightly more than the required radius.The Ebony frame was then assembled around the grating using 30min epoxy.
After leaving overnight to dry,everything was sanded back to the required shape and size.The final two pics show the grating slotted in place on the deck.Final gluing will not happened until all 'treenailing' and sanding has been carried out.
A change of direction now as work is going to concentrate on Royal Caroline's guns.
Kind Regards

Beautiful grate and coamings. I like the ebony look for the coamings as it makes the grates jump out.

Thank you very much indeed John It did test my patience to the max and cost three broken drills However,now the learning curve is complete,hopefully things will be a little more straightforward as I have another seven or eight to make for the whole model

NMBROOK got a reaction from mtaylor in Decembers' Model Boats magazine (UK)
Just a heads up for anyone interested.Whilst I rarely buy this magazine anymore,I did purchase this December's issue.It has coverage of 2014's Naviga championship held in Bulgaria.It features photos of the C1 winner,HMS Leopard by a Ukranian modeller that I have yet to see on the net.Also shown is HMS Alert by Roland Vlahovic,a gold medal winning model depicting the vessel during construction.Also shown is a model familiar to many,is Dimitry Shevelev's fine french '74'.This,again,won a gold medal in class C3d with a 98.33/100 score!

Hi Albert
...and what beautiful 'sawdust' it is, that you've created. Your Naiad looks brilliant so far. I'm definitely looking forward to following your progress.
All the best!

This build is deffo an exercise in precision... I think you would need a 'bit-of-a-lie-down' if you saw my work station Albert (think 'explosion in a timber yard' and you'd not be too far off)
Wonderful to watch the pinnacle of this hobby of ours!
