    Boots almost finished. I used polystiren and pear strips.

    To get the keel (0,75x0,75mm plastic strip) straight I made a straight edge and glued the strip with polistyren glue. I have most problems with the frames and getting them aligned. After several failed attempts I made a plug/core of the boot and cut it at the intervals of the frames. So using these mould parts as a template I managed to fix the frames exactly aligned and square to the keel. I press the plastic strip (0.25x0.75mm) to the mould and let tiny drops of CA to penetrate at the side. One by one and step by step.

    Thanks shipman. It's polystyren sheet initially 0,75 mm thick. After forming it reduces appr. to 0,5 mm's.

    I've started to build the boats. There are 6 boats and they are all made of polystyren sheets with vacuum thermoforming.

    Thanks Eberhard, 1/75 is a very difficult scale for this ship. If it was 1/100, PE would be ok, but not at 1/75. It would look like a bit simple. On the other side if it was 1/50 it would be much easier to make these parts. I did not realized this in the beginning. So I'am struggling as best as I can.

    Skylights. 0,3 mm brass sheet and 0,3mm brass rod. Thickness sanding. Triple pack.

    Engine room house and funnel. Trying to build the funnel I was very lucky to find a plastic tube with exact diameter.

    Thanks Keith, I used rapid epoxy glue for the roof parts (not for the plastic to plastic) and CA Gel for the side panels.
  13. Ilhan Gokcay
    Thank you Eberhard. Roof is from tree seperate sheets glued on top of another. I only shaped the edges by sanding before joining.

    Engine/Boiler room house/casing. Polystyrene on plywood.

    Bridge deck is made of 1 mm plywood, 0,5 mm pear strips (top) and 1 mm pear strips (underside). Adjusted the bridge supports and installed brass tubes as bushings in the deck and in the handrail Some part of the stanchions have 2 rails and some part of them have 3 rails. I modified the stanchions because the 2 rails and 3 rails did not have the same height. 3 rail stanchions were higher. I sanded down the bulges at the bottom flash and made a new one. I also sanded down the bulges for the rails as they are too bold.

    I made the portholes of brass tubes which fits exactly to the tubes at the hull. I filled them with epoxy and glued with Revel Contacta Clear.

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.
