    Thank you every one JP, only 40 hours in car! Definitive build? I do not know Definitive set of plans? Surely not, but the good side from the bad side, it is interesting to try to figure the missing parts! Gaetan

    Detail on the second picture; In certain cases, drawing must be fitted to fit the space.
  3. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Carabrente, you are doing a very nice job.

    Lextin, I tried different models, and if one day you want to try one which works very well try that one from Lee Valley.

    I do not use any more this type of saw. In comparison with this one which is of the sae size: http://www.leevalley.com/fr/Wood/page.aspx?p=58686&cat=1,42884,68904&ap=1 it does not works very much efficiently because sharpening is only done on 1 face.

    thicker planking has to continue upwards in the bow area like Belle Poule, Bonhomme Richard ? It would not be useful to make it thinner ! It was the french way to protect when fishing the anchor.

    Hi Bruce, One of the reasons I wanted to have a chart was to save time. The biggest diameter anchor cable I turned with more than 500 linen threads size 090 was estimated with the table and worked very well.
  8. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Bruce, the relationship between number of strands and diameter is not directly proportionnal. You should observe instead a progression with an hyperbola curve. It was recently discussed in this thread. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9002-rope-making-question/

    Thank you Mark. Actually, I like to learn to take photography on a white background. They use this type of photos when they want to sell a product in the commerce. Here is an example.

    Some flowers for Christmas. Parts in the first picture are almost longer to prepare than to carve.

    A good one will cut hardwood up to 1 inch thick... and always at 90 degrees
  12. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Sorry for your problem, I tried it just before to write it and did not have any problem.
  13. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Adding some decorations
  14. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Is there a formula or table of what size threads to use to make rope of a given size? In MSW 1.0 there was an excel file providing that, it was looking like this; With the number of threads, you can calculate the diameter automatically. I still have a copy if you are interested.

    Elsbeere from Germany: pearwood from Germany, if I remember correctly.

    When you use a bench grinder, you also need a cooling bucket. The finer the stone, the finer the results will be. Angle adjustment to present the cutter is a very big helper A diamond wheel can produces a mirror finish in seconds. On this wheel, diamonds are on the side of the wheel. The other grinder is uses to cut metal part and a deburring wheel very effective also for a mirror finish.

    50% of all the bathrooms on the ship in less than 50 hours.

    Carabrente, as 1 part, it is difficult, and for this reason, it is not made in 1 part. By adding many small easy parts, you can make 1 big difficult part.
  19. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Hi Carabrente, other pictures; page 11,12, 13 also pictures from: http://modelisme.arsenal.free.fr/jacquesmailliere/

    For sometime I will work in the fore part,
  21. Gaetan Bordeleau
    some moldings on the side, a lot easier to do on the milling
  22. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Makore is a wood I am allergic to, effect on breathing when sawdust.

    Hi Nigel, Interesting facts, considering the enormous amount of money involved the king had to grant for the construction, it would be reasonable to think that they found a way to give an idea of the look of the model before the realisation of the ship to help the king to take a decision.
  24. Gaetan Bordeleau
    I saw this in an exposition few years ago
  25. Gaetan Bordeleau
    Thank you for your comments I installed all the top rails painted black. I had enough to see walls in the aft section waving. I tried to straighten since few months without success. Frames in the aft section are tapering from looking face and side view too. If I would have known before I would not have tapered from side view even if drawings were showing it.

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.
