    Cable - "template" for the direction of installation of chains.
  2. Garward
    The bottom deadeye and chains fok-masts, the left board are established.

    To reach home all ways approach!

    Hi, Scott! If you mean glue for fixing of knots on ropes, practically doesn't leave traces shellac.
  5. Garward
    Hi, Grant! Stain for ropes at water works more slowly (dries more long), usually it is necessary to carry out process several times, but to receive uniform coloring of ropes easier. Stain for ropes at alcohol works quickly, but certain skills that coloring of a rope turned out uniform are necessary. The end result in both cases it is possible to receive the identical.

    Hi, Daniel, thanks for the comment! The cast trunks of guns for Le Fleuron and Venus from here http://www.shipmodels.com.ua/eng/accessories/artillery/cannon/index.htm At the request of them it is possible to get in different types: raw after casting and most to process (that I and made), and it is possible to order trunks with processing. Trunks of guns for Montanes are turned on the lathe.

    Hi, Carl, thanks for the comment!
  8. Garward
    And it is Montanes guns, trunks are also blackened 20% solution of selenious acid.
  9. Garward
    Trunk before processing and a blackening.

    Hi, Daniel! Here a blackening example with the help of solution of selenious acid of a smooth trunk without a decor (the French gun of a frigate of La Venus). http://5500.forumactif.org/t549-discussion-generale

    Hi, Dafi! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/454-24-pdr-bronze-gun-le-fleuron-1729-by-garward-m-124/

    New glues and other materials with interesting properties recently began to appear more and more, it is difficult to follow all this!
  13. Garward
    By no means, it is a good horse for the purposes. I too sometimes use epoxy glue, but this matter of habit and personal preferences, after all with various materials it is possible to receive very similar results.
  14. Garward
    I was connected some time with nondestructive testing of quality of with advanced composites (which included a lot of epoxy applications), since then I treat them watchfully

    Hi, Sjors! If you decided to remake chainsplate, it makes sense to replace thus also chains with a wire. By the real ships of that era these details didn't produce from chains. Chains which stand, for example, on my Corsair model, on your Corsair and on a number of these models is an imagination of the producer of a kit, no more .
  16. Garward
    Probably, we used various grades of epoxy glue, I have generally an experience from the industry. In youth I too was engaged in model aircrafts a little , at me and now there are a lot of colleagues - aeromodellers, but they generally apply various nitroglues.
  17. Garward
    Details assembled
  18. Garward
    I also wrote it, relying on the experience of application of various epoxy glues (not only in construction of models) within thirty years
  19. Garward
    In chains I applied jeweler mills to drilling of openings.
  20. Garward
    In the ends openings under fastening to the hull are drilled.
  21. Garward
    And epoxy glues give too rigid connection which tends to cracks over time, especially under the influence of temperature
  22. Garward
    The deadeye and chains are prepared for installation: are tried on on installation sites, are truncated, the ends are riveted.
  23. Garward
    Here one more link concerning Knoten & Steke http://www.klabautermann.de/
  24. Garward
    Deadeye are connected to chains.
  25. Garward
    As well as at a model choice - to whom what glue is pleasant!

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.
