    CNC running off two sets of rudder parts.

    Nice to see you back building Chris! Looks like you have a good head of steam up now. I think we all know about trying to get free time for modelling.

    Beautiful work
  4. Trussben
    Very Very nice clean work there Steve.

    Now I’m trying to figure out the layout for the stern, I see that I do need to do a bit of fairing to the outer counter Timbers to make them and the inner framing a little thinner.

    Two full sets of Counter Timbers coming off the CNC.

    Looking really good, I enjoyed this part of the build.

    Nice Bob.

    No Greg, The frieze prints are in two parts, but I believe I can do a much better job second time around trying to make it as seamless as possible, and I still have the portside to start.

    Headworks on the starboard side almost complete, I think i will remove the hair bracket friezes and replace them to try to better match it all together so the seams are less visible.

    I’m sure your model will be as excellent as your scratch work is. Yes - Holly lower planking.
  12. Trussben
    Thanks Rusty! Glenn - no secret, just many hours sanding it off using 120/220 sanding sticks and a few small diamond files.

    Cannons well on the way to completion, still no finish on them. The head parts were painted black ready to fit the head rails. All the windows in the stern and QGs have been installed along with their “glass”.

    Yeh - TFFM is based on the plans of Atalanta, that’s why there is a couple of decepencies between it and the NMM Pegasus plans. It seems each of the Swan class vessels had slight differences between them.

    Nice Greg.
  16. Trussben
    Simply Beautiful! I notice that you only modeled the beam arm with the single fore one as per TFFM, not with the double fore/aft as per the NMM plans for Pegasus - but it looks simply fantastic either way.

    Look at and use the plans to place those stern frames correctly, all the dimensions and angles can be taken right off them to do the job correctly. i.e the dimension from the level of the keel to the top of the frame height is one you can use, also the distance from one of the bulkhead top frames back to those stern frames is another. Its all right there.

    Sweet

    Unfortunatly I won’t be going now! Wife reminded me that we had prior plans for that week 🙄😞

    I used 1/2” MDF and used T-Tracks on the outside - see the 1st page of my build log for a good pic.
  21. Trussben
    Welcome aboard Gary. My build board is 48x20” if your interested.
  22. Trussben
    Congrats on getting to this significant milestone! You now get to do some of the more fun stuff!
  23. Trussben
    Work on the cannon carriages, port lids and head works is all underway! No finish on the carriages yet.
  24. Trussben
    Nice Bob.

    Welcome to the group! You will certainly build some muscles up when you start fairing the Baltic Birch Ply! That stuff is tough!

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.
