    The next stage is the manufacture of the windlass.
  2. IgorSky
    Then I glued round portholes and made one of the skylights

    Hello to all! Thanks for the support, friends! So, on the last weekend I continued to work with this project. At first I finished the planking of the main house deck.
  4. IgorSky
    Just incredible work, Michael!
  5. IgorSky
    Many thanks, Patrick! Yesterday I continued work with main deckhouse.
  6. IgorSky
    Yesterday's little update
  7. IgorSky
    Hi Nils! As usual, I just do not find the words ... Your work is incredible! What diameter should the steering wheels have for your model? Best Regards! Igor.

    Hi Jeff! My sincere condolences to you and your family... And good luck in the continuation of your project! Be careful in combining CA and white glue - they do not always work well in close contact. Igor.

    Many thanks, Michael! During the last weekend I continued to make tambours.
  10. IgorSky
    I continue to build one of the entrance tambours
  11. IgorSky
    At this stage my vacation is over. Now the pace of work will slow down significantly
  12. IgorSky
    Now it was possible to try to make the entrance tambour
  13. IgorSky
    Next, I cut through the deck in the places of the entrance tambours and lined the walls of the holes with planks. I do not know for sure whether there will be open doors in the entrance tambours, but, just in case, decided to refine these holes in the deck
  14. IgorSky
    Then I glued the steering plate. I was thinking of making imitations of fastening loops, but they are built-in on this boat and are unlikely to be visible under water.
  15. IgorSky
    Then I increased the keel in the stern part of the hull
  16. IgorSky
    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.
  17. IgorSky
    Then I proceeded to planking the underwater part of the hull with the red hornbeam.
  18. IgorSky
    Many thanks, Nils!
  19. IgorSky
    Then I glued the gunwales.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. IgorSky
    Then I glued another belt of plating the bulwark from the black hornbeam.
  23. 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.
  24. IgorSky
    Then I glued the first planks of bulwarks to the right and left boards. So I got scuppers.
  25. 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.

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.
