    Then I finally grinded the planes connecting the upper and lower parts of the hull, cut out the plate replacing the waterline and processed the entire hull assembly.
  2. IgorSky
    Then I proceeded to planking the underwater part of the hull with the red hornbeam.

    Many thanks, Nils!

    Then I glued the gunwales.
  5. IgorSky
    Patrick, Hornbeam is the kind of trees - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbeam I use strips of this tree, which are pre-painted right through.
  6. IgorSky
    Next, I glued the posts to the inside surface of the bulwarks. Because The bulwarks themselves gradually reduce their thickness in the process of grinding them from the outside, then their additional strengthening will be very useful. In addition, they will be very useful and to increase the area of gluing when installing gunwales.

    Then I glued another belt of plating the bulwark from the black hornbeam.
  8. IgorSky
    Many thanks, Patrick! Next update. On the bulwarks above the scuppers there is a narrow red strip. In order not to bother about drawing these strips, I decided to make them too from hornbeam.
  9. IgorSky
    Then I glued the first planks of bulwarks to the right and left boards. So I got scuppers.
  10. IgorSky
    The boards also have narrow scuppers at the deck level. Therefore, I cut them in the parts of the planking of the boards, protruding above the deck before gluing the bulwarks.
  11. IgorSky
    Then I proceeded to planking the boards.
  12. IgorSky
    Next, I pasted the stem and continued to planking the stern
  13. IgorSky
    Now it was possible to proceed to the sheathing of the boardes and the stern of the hull. I started with the stern, in which there are holes, apparently playing the role of scuppers. Because I was not sure that I would be able to cut through these "windows" in the hornbeam planking qualitatively, then I decided to make a compositing design.

    Then I processed the deck.
  15. IgorSky
    Hey Patrick! Welcome!
  16. IgorSky
    Then came the turn of planking of the deck. I started with the central board and then I continued to cover the deck boards from the center to the sides.
  17. IgorSky
    The deck of the boat has a rather noticeable bend. In addition, the nose is markedly elevated with respect to the stern.
  18. IgorSky
    Now I could continue the further processing of the hull base.
  19. IgorSky
    Then I drilled holes for wooden studs and glued together the plates that make up the upper and lower parts of the hull.
  20. IgorSky
    Next, I proceeded to further processing the plates.
  21. IgorSky
    So, two weeks ago, on the first day of my short vacation, I started this building. I started, as usual, with the manufacture of the base of the hull, which will be detachable at the waterline. First, I cut out the wooden plates, of which the hull will consist.

    Hello to all! Two weeks ago I started another small project in a bottle. This time it is a model of the pilot cutter Jolie Brise. This boat I like for a long time and now, finally, I "matured" for its construction. More or less suitable drawings of this boat, I never found. Found only the theoretical drawing of the hull and the general scheme of the sails. Also I found in the network a number of photos. Well, and a suitable bottle was found. A little of the history about Jolie Brise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolie_Brise

    Every time I just do not find the words, Nils! Incredible work!
  24. IgorSky
    Amazing! Just amazing work, Patrick!
  25. IgorSky
    Hi Daniel! Great progress! Best Regards! Igor.

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.
