    I enjoyed this journey Vladimir. You successfully captured the spirit and form of Cutty Sark. Excellent modelling. Cheers Martin.

    Hi Vlad, The carved (3D) one is much better, more realistic, and more suited to a model of your size. Even without gold paint. But maybe consider to make it a bit more gold somehow, highlight it maybe? Cheers, Martin

  23.    mtaylor reacted to a post in a topic: cutty sark treenail deck pattern
  24. MartinB
    You are correct Vlad. Longridge states that "the wooden deck was bolted directly onto the beams, and the bolt holes filled with dowels". All he mentions with regard to the deck house roofs is that he believes they were originally roofed with teak planking and caulked like the deck. Not much to say really. Cheers Martin
  25. MartinB
    Vladimir, Further information. Longridge also mentions the holes as being .8mm diameter (and 3mm in from the butt end of the plank) in 1:48 scale. Adjust this to your scale. Cheers, Martin
  26. MartinB
    Hi Vladimir, I have a copy of Longridge's book on the Cutty Sark. He states, "each plank had a dowel in the centre of its width wherever it crossed a deck beam, and one close to each end to secure the butt from rising." I guess the answer is one treenail in the centre of the plank. Cheers, Martin.
  27. MartinB started following Cutty Sark by Vladimir_Wairoa - 1:24- English Clipper - FINISHED and Amerigo Vespucci by ken3335 - Panart - 1/84 scale

    I am not a fan of the new layout either. But I will try your suggestion, Chris. Thanks.
  29. MartinB
    Very nice. Most authentic. Cheers. Martin

    This scale certainly allows some great work on attaching the deadeyes. Very nice. You have got me thinking Vladimir, maybe its time for me to move up to the larger scales. The deadeyes in the first photo remind me of the painting "Scream", by Munch. Weird, I know. Fair winds, Martin
  31. MartinB
    Nice metalwork for the mast fittings. Good to see that it is a true representation of Cutty Sark. This is good work Vladimir. Keep going. Fair winds Martin
  32. MartinB
    Much better at the Knights head. Rework was worth it. You got the proper Cutty Sark look now. We'll done. Fair winds. Martin
  33. MartinB
    This will be an epic model. So large. I look forward to following your build. I am also a Cutty Sark fan (tragic). Fair winds. Martin
  34. MartinB
    Mark, Your planking, always looks superb. A pleasure!! Regards, Martin.
  35. MartinB
    Deck looks good Chris. I also do not know how correct this is, but, looks the goods. Just don't muck up the simple sanding job! I have also sworn off 0.5mm planking or using anything under 1mm. For something different, I scraped my last 0.5mm deck with a 1" wide wood chisel. No going back, a much better result. Cheers, Martin

    You always seem to find such great videos. Thanks, much appreciated. Martin

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.
