    Hi Phill Bthank you for the to date finest commended but it'stoo much. You must remember that this is my 3 attempts to get a Cutty Sark I'm happy with, I participated in a one week course in making jewelry at an art school with the purpose of casting and soldering my own fitings. So if it's not good now it will probably never bee. But I must say I am pleased and have enjoyed the whole process. Cheers Jens

    Hi Nenad , Elijah and Popeye Thank you for your nice comments I'm glad you all like my work lines and pulleys still missing on the davits but it coms on soon. I will now continue on the foredeck - here I abstained to put anchors on, but it can not wait longer. On the black and white pictures I have mentioned, there is also an old anchor on the foredeck, such an iron and wood as they are on HMS victory. that I should of course also have on here. I do not want to use Billing B. plastic anchor so I vill mold my own in tin. Glad you mensind it so her i put in cuple of blak and wite pic. infact you also can notis the ancor i menciend just as a dark shadov . Anchors and chain chock maed joust need more chain , have to get hand on that before continue. Anchors finish Jens All for now Cheers All Jens

    I come to think that I have some noteworthy pic. I've found on the web of a shipwreck some tourists have taken. and when I save all images that could have the even the smallest usable information for Cutty Sark building I save them. This ship must have looked like Cutty Sark as a sister ship. Built in the same few years where they experimented with iron in the ship just before ships completely consisted of iron. Hi . I have ben invastigate on this ship - pic and as i sorth it is extreme close to cutty sark build the same year and the same way Hwat i found : Ambassador. British Clipper 692 register Tons, composite building, that is to say, hull with steel frames coated by teak wood.Even though this ship, grounded today in a beach at Magellan Strait's “San Gregorio” farm, 120 km North of Punta Arenas, does not represent a shipwreck, we think it is interesting to mention it here, because is one of the famouses and fast Tea Clippers that sailed between the chinese port of Fuchow and London, circa 1872. This sailboat, along with its similar Cutty Sark, exhibited as a museum in Greenwich, England, respresents one of the lasts Tea Clippers. As a curiosity, Ambassador's figurehead was rescued in the 70's and today can be seen in the Maritime Room at the Patagonia Institute in Punta Arenas, Chile. Ambassador is an United Kingdom tea clipper built in 1869. She was a composite clipper, built with wooden planking over an iron skeleton and was W. Lund & Co's first tea clipper. She is now a beached wreck in southern Chile History[edit] William Walker built Ambassador at Lavender Dry Dock in London. Though considered a fast ship, Ambassador was said to be "very cranky and overmasted".[2] Her first passage to the UK from Foochow came during the Tea Race of 1870 under Captain Duggan and took 115 days, a mediocre performance; that same year the fastest tea passage, also from Foochow, was made by the clipper Lahloo (clipper) in just 98 days. Ambassador '​s fastest passage between China and England was 108 days, in 1872.[2] Ambassador has been beached at Estancia San Gregorio, Chile since 1899.[3] In 1973 Chile declared her a historic monument.[4] The wreck is now reduced to a skeletal frame.[5][6] It is an example of a dwindling number of composite ship constructions. Better preserved examples include: Cheers All

    hi Mike Thanks for writing. Why aluminum? It is a desire to make my model as accurate as possible so where there are iron I use metal -Aluminium and it should be painted black but it is not Cheers
  20. samson
    Thanks Popeye I wirly feel welcom her on this forum its a real plesure . Jens
  21. samson
    It sems i understand now . Great --Thanks for help. Model 1: 100 That is small. You must have good eyes and steady hands.
  22. samson
    Hi Nenad Pleas stay. there is nothing wrong with your cabins. I mean to see that your model is on a smaller scale? Billing Cutty Sark's in 1: 75 smaller is lot more challenging I also need your help to understand how to respond to a letter where the letter you answer comes in a shaded frame ??? Cheers Jens

    I had to involve extra space to complete my captain cabin interiors. Here's cabin built by homemade plywood. I've got a lot of lists of 0.7 x 7 mm which are glued together as shown here Since I have problem with the light is fading in the ship I refrain from doing the two lights that were meant to be here in the cabin Instead I build the deck in this way so that there comes mers light in and there is a small experience of that something is happening inside Skylight is based list of 0.7 mm glued on frame aluminiuns Home-made aluminum supports for the railing as on the front deck. This is almost where I am today. hull with its buildings are finished and the next (current) mission is rescue boats and equipment belonging to them It will be when I'm done with it next update comes and it can take a looong time. I am happy to have come this far with my building log so I can continue to build on my model at a pace that looks more reasonable Cheers All Jens

    Hi All Nenad Thanks for writing. However, I do not hesitate to write on The Kit-Basher's Guide To The Galaxy, since I already find this side challenging with regard to the language challenge. But later meby. I have now come to the cabins. And all the buildings on the ship's deck except the after cabin is built like wood frames with wood panels and finish with a brass wire as profile list I try to build the interiors of the cabins (mostly because it's fun to do) for it is very little chance of seeing anything Problem with the light - des more light i put on dek des les the light gloe inside the houl. Cheers Jens

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.
