    Sorry, Greg. I've been away for a while and didn't realize you'd started building the Constitution. I used a scroll saw to cut the gun-deck curves on the bulkheads.

    Greg, I have a reversible hand drill like in the photo. I use it when necessary.

    Peter, when drilling soft and thin woods before, turning the drill in the opposite direction helped me drill without splitting the wood. This information may come in handy in the future.
  24. mtbediz
    Let me also point this out, I cut the pieces a little larger and do fine tuning with sanding machine.
  25. mtbediz
    Drilling first and then cutting usually gives better results and reduces scrap. That's how I usually do it."
  26. mtbediz
    Your model looks great Peter. Just curious, did you ever consider leaving the gun port lids open?
  27. mtbediz started following HMS SIRIUS By DaveRow - Scale 1:60 - POF - as she was fitted out for the "Flagship of the First Fleet" to Australia - 2nd wooden ship build
  28. mtbediz
    My mistake, sorry. When I said "I will remove them" I meant "I will remove the entire channels". Because I will cut the slots on the channels. These pins will also be there when the channels are permanently glued in place
  29. mtbediz
    Based on the US Navy plans shared by Jon, I calculated the widths of the fore, main, and mizzen channels scaled to my model. These plans showed that all three channels have different widths. Accordingly, the fore channel is 16 mm wide, which is significantly wider than the main and mizzen channels. I don’t know the reason for this, but that’s how it is. I calculated the main channel to be 12 mm and the mizzen channel to be 11.2 mm. These measurements do not include the strip that will cover the chain plate slots. I cut the channels from 2.1 mm thick basswood sheet and temporarily attached them in place with pins. After marking the positions of the slots where the chain plates will be attached on the channels, I will remove them.
  30. mtbediz
    Thanks for your efforts, Jon. The navy plans will be sufficient for me to calculate the correct dimensions. Thanks again.
  31. mtbediz
    Next Wednesday, I’ll be shutting down the shipyard again until September, Peter. I’m guessing you’ll catch up and surpass me easily.
  32. mtbediz
    Thank you Jon. I've reviewed the plans again, and yes, there are some details, but I couldn't find any information or drawings regarding the width and thickness of the channels, which is what I need. I’d be grateful if anyone who can see these dimensions could let me know.
  33. mtbediz
    Hello friends. I couldn't see the channel drawings in the MS kit plan sheets. Do they really not exist or am I just not finding them? Thanks.
  34. mtbediz
    Your attention to detail is truly admirable. As for me, I just don’t have the patience to wrestle with tiny details, and I tend to dodge them whenever I can.
  35. mtbediz
    All gun port lids are complete. The next stage is to make the channels and chain plates.
  36. mtbediz
    All upper lids have been completed, I am continuing the construction of the lower lids.

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.
