    14.11 The forward bollards

    14.10 A bollard glued into its place.
  3. G.L.
    14.9 The finished bollard.
  4. G.L.
    14.9 The top of the bollard is filed in shape with triangular and round files.
  5. G.L.
    14.8 One side is sanded oblique to fit against the stanchion.
  6. G.L.
    14.7 There are four bollards on the deck, two forward and two aft. I make them of small oak bars.

    Here they come, Patrick. 14.6 The bulwark is at the outside strengthened with seven vertical planks on each side.

    This is the point where I lost my log in December! From here on we will continue the building log with new posts.

    14.5 It looks already a lot more like the boat I want to build!
  10. G.L.
    14.4 The job is finished off by tree nailing the bulwark.
  11. G.L.
    14.3 The slot for the jib boom is filed out with a round file.
  12. G.L.
    14.2 Now I can shorten the excesses of the frame futtocks. They are sawn so that the extend about a millimeter above the bulwark.

    Part 14: Finishing the bulwark 14.1 Planking the bulwark.
  14. G.L.
    The wales form the base for further planking upwards.
  15. G.L.
    When the glue is dry, I sand them an glue them into their position on the model.
  16. G.L.
    ... and glue in strips of two layers on top of a copy of the drawn pattern.
  17. G.L.
    I saw the different planks of the wales with the help of paper templates with the table circular saw...
  18. G.L.
    I start the outside planking with placing the wales. Inspired by a lot of Triton cross section builders, I decide to make the wales in an anker stock pattern. Accordingly to 'Historic ship models' of Zu Montfeld the planks were 384 cm long and 12 cm wide at the ends and 24 cm in the middle. It is not possible to keep those exact sizes due to the frame intervals and the wales with on the cross section drawings. I draw a pattern with wales of which the dimensions are as close as possible.

    The deck
  20. G.L.
    After that coarse sanding, scraping the deck with a cutter knife blade and fine sanding.
  21. G.L.
    Next thing to do is putting tree nails.
  22. G.L.
    All the planks are laid.
  23. G.L.
    The deck is spreading out plank by plank. Sometimes it is necessary to put some pressure with lead weights.
  24. G.L.
    To imitate the caulking, I glue black 220 grams paper strips at one side of each plank.
  25. G.L.
    The lower deck is painted in white, so the ceiling also has to be painted. I paint it plank by plank when gluing them on the deck beams.

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.
