Thank you for your comments and evaluation of our work! Those "precision clamps" will be in a box of our wooden kit.

By the way, I did not show what the new kit does on the plastic conductor (;C) of our invention. We have protected this our invention with a patent. This allows you to assemble the hull very easily, quickly and very-very accurately! And you get the most accurate contours of hull.

Let's continue, friends. While there is an opportunity (before the mast), we decided to demonstrate to you how the carronade could be moved between the platforms on the launch. 💡By the way, a very interesting option to show on the model, if without a mast and sails.

In February 2020, we started talking about the MK 0304 "42ft launch rigged Yawl with a 24-pound carronade (1841)". Scale1/48. In February 2020, we started talking about the MK 0305 "22-oars two 24pd-gun gunboat of the Baltic fleet,1848" Scale1/72. We have a lot of projects almost ready, but not put into production. The delay in the release of new kits was due to the fact that we were engaged in patenting and protecting intellectual property rights for our developments. It took almost two years. Now we are engaged in the MK0304 project in wood.

Thank you, James. I won't guess, but in two weeks the first one will be ready for a photo on a box. Then we will make the changes that we identified during the test build and we will assemble another model - the control assembly.

Gentlemen, I wish you all the best. Help clarify the correct term - what is the name of this type of rig of a launch in the photos I have given? In Russian documents of the mid-19th century it was written that "rigged as the Plymouth`s boat". But this name rather has a local meaning for Russia. This question is important in order to understand what name in English to indicate on the box of the new kit of "MasterKorabel".

But returning to the question raised. This drawing from 1759 perfectly shows two boats. One is on the deck (only fragments are visible) and the second boat from above is located on the topmasts. It is very well shown how exactly the boat is attached. Deutsch_ Frederik den Femtes Atlas Segelplan, Seitenansicht Fregatte Sjöridderen https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soeridderen.jpg

Hello, Allan! This source is "Seamanship in the Age of Sail An Account of the Shiphandling of the Sailing Man-Of-War, 1600-1860" by John Harland As far as I know, it was a common practice when one boat was placed in another. I have seen drawings in the archive and met a description in the literature. I think the models in NMM showed only one boat on top of two topmast for simplification. There was always a lot of reserve spars on the ship (topmasts, topgallant masts, yards, topsail yards). And smaller boats (cutter and yawls) would also be put on them as Marquardt showed according to Captain Cook's description. The source is "Anatomy of the Ship: Captain Cook's ENDEAVOUR" by Karl Heinz Marquardt. But they didn't show so much on the models. I think so. I continue to look for a reliable source from the 18th century, where we can read about this in detail. Eugen, "Master Korabel"

Good afternoon, dear colleagues. There are many models in NMM, which show that the boat stands on the topmaps and is secured with ropes. Several books have brief information on this, which is based on the same models from the museum, I think so. Interested in more detailed information on how the boat was attached to the topmaps in the 18th century? Is there a book of the 18th century (original source) about this method? Thanks!

We are trying to speed up the process, despite the quarantine in the country.

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.
