    little update..
     
    - a look into the hull
    - a trial for painting the hull
    - the "riveting" of the bowpost
    - "glassing" the porthhole inserts (procedure)

    here a dive deep down into the ship`s belly
     

     
    aft section with the two drive shafts coming to the inside
     
     

     
    this is the tape I intend to use for taping the painting borderline (not pleased with it yet), will have to improve the technique. Also the black color should be more dull, will do next trial with dull black oven-paint. The critical part is to get a good tape contact over the rivet rows, so that the paint does`nt creep under the tape.
    The red paint is RAL 3000, silk-surface glaze, when drying
     
     

     
     

     
    bowpost "riveting" is done around the bend
     
     

     
    Am quite pleased with the result....
     
     

     
    here using trimming line for grass-cutter for the "glassing" of the portholes
     
     

     
    Cutting off a length
     
     

     
    ready for final trimming
     
     

     
    cut off directly at the porthole insert. "Glass" surface will be sunk in appr. 0,6 mm afterwards into the tube

    Modelling Gianna or Aga I had used 0,50 / 1mm planks.  At the Utrecht I use pearwood 12mmx2mm.To work with this kind of planks  was a new experience. They are very hard and difficult to form. 
     
    Now the outsite planking is finished. Here are some pictures from yesterday.

    ere is a little update.
     
    I have the transom again revised. Because of the strong grain of the wood the planks angle is barely visible. As said earlier, I will represent the caulking after grinding. Overall, it's an entirely different matter 2mm thick planks to shape and install. In my other models I have double planked hulk. And the plank thickness was only 0.75 mm.
     
    Here the current results of the work

    Modelling the wales.
     
    To determine the location of the main wale I did use a copy of the sheer profile plan. 
     

     
    The location of the main wale
     

     
    This copy was the base for modelling the wales. 
     

     
    I wasn't able to bend the bow parts of the wales, about it I have made it by sawing. I bend the long parts of the wales and later on the planks after immersing it in water. For the heat I use a soldering iron with a surface designed for bemding modelplanks
     

     
    The distanz between the main and lower wale is one plank.

    Hi all,
     
    Patrick, Carl, Sir Blue Henry – thanks!
     
    @Carl
    Don't worry, I claim no copyright – you don't know what I already have "stolen" on MSW! - but ssssht, don't tell!   
     
    Today I had a highly famous visitor! It was CA's inspection ...   
     
    ... the old man was on the shipyard. He watched carefully every detail and at this he looked somewhat grimly - in the end he had but a little smile – “ Carry on!“, his comment ...
     
    ... “Yes Sir!“

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.
