    14.20 To be able to drill the holes in equal positions in all the dead eyes I make a little auxiliary tool. I drill a hole with the same diameter as the dead eyes in one side of a hinge. In the opposite side I drill the three holes of the dead eye.

    14.19 With the railing in place, I can make and place the dead eyes I turn a cylindrical stock in hard wood, I believe it is ipe and make grooves in it, using a round file.

    Thanks Hakan.

    Patrick, Your loose hand is very steady. Maybe You had a Grimbergen Tripel before painting. I like it that You paint in a way that the wood grain remains visible. G.L.

    14.18 The inner transom:

    14.17 To make a good fit for the horizontal, I make paper templates:

    Thank You Nils. 14.16 Inside the transom there are 2 vertical and 2 horizontal knees as strengthening. The vertical knees:

    All the steps in place.
  9. G.L.
    But done is done. I continue to glue the steps. The upper side of each step must be horizontal. Because the hull is cambered the after side is of each step has another angle. I sand them to the right angle with the band sander.

    Only now I look to the 'end view plan' of the entry steps and I see that on this plan the step is placed just on top of the outboard trim. A small inequality between the two plans? Apparently it was not necessary to cut a piece from the outboard trim.
  11. G.L.
    The first step in place.
  12. G.L.
    According to the plan, the second step from above is positioned on top of the lower outboard trim so I cut the necessary length out of it.
  13. G.L.
    The sides of the steps have also the same profile. I shape them, using a 3mm mill.
  14. G.L.
    Continuing the log: I make again a scraper to shape the entry steps.

    Thank you Christian. To give you an impression of the size: below a of one of my modelling friends examining my cross section during our monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. G.L.

    14.15 The port forward rail with belaying pins. The pins are made as described in my post 12.2.
  17. G.L.
    14.14 Gluing the rails in place.
  18. G.L.
    14.13 The forward rails have five holes for belaying pins, the aft three.
  19. G.L.
    14.12 There are also four rails for belaying pins on the sides. The shaping of them is done in the same way as the bollards.

    Excellent work, Patrick. The Triple is really earned! G.L.
  21. G.L.
    For the upper layer of outboard trims I use the same profile, but this time upside down. This time the trims are glued directly on the outboard planking.
  22. G.L.
    Then it is again further planking upwards, tree nailing and sanding.
  23. G.L.
    Some small nails in pre drilled holes keep the trims on their place when the glue is drying. As You can also see I glued little pieces of wood to lengthen the frames which were a bit too short.
  24. G.L.
    I saw the back side of them to the correct angle with the help of the adjustable table saw.
  25. G.L.
    To make the outboard trims, I make a scraper with a piece of a cutter knife.

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.
