    hello marktime.Yes, hatch hinges are attached to a bent nail in the central timber. They can be opened both wings. Under the hatch cover is placed the lamp that illuminates the underdeck.

    Hello teacher, I am watching your hands... Nice to see your build log again. I am building the same ship and this is the really inspiration for me. What system you have used for lighting?

    Hello thanks Tim and santa maria's builder! mkmossop - I did not polished those parts, I only blackened them with some chemical lotion I bought in our gun shop. Small scratches disappear. I think it is not ideal blackwash, but I am satisfied with result - meanwhile. Same way I used to cannons. And then a little varnish... Tim - you did very fine work on your ship. Work on model goes slowly, but you know - it is relax.

    Hi, thanks David for your kind words. Now shipcarpenter becomes a blacksmith and silversmith. I have to produce 1pin for rudder hinges. There were only 3 pieces in the kit, but I need 4 for my improved rudder. I made it from brass tube and wire. Soldering with gas solder using liquid solder for brass. I enyoyed it - maybe I mistook my craft. Last foto shows the infernal tool compared with lighter.

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.
