    I fabricated the support knees for the cat heads. I am preparing the 3rd rails that will be attached to the knees.

    I don't have the talent or patience to do that. Congratulations.

    Some modelers created a flat platform and placed the gratings on top, while others positioned them in a curved manner to match the bend of the second rail. As far as I understand, you chose the second option. I don't know which one is correct, and I haven't decided how to proceed yet.
  25. mtbediz
    I painted 2nd rails black, added white stripes and glued them in place.
  26. mtbediz
    I decided to do this because I was convinced that I could produce the supports correctly by making precise measurements on the model. It seemed to me that bending the rails to fit the supports would be more difficult.
  27. mtbediz
    Finally I decided to do this; first give the rails the required shape and glue them in place, then make the supports. I shaped the 3rd rails by heating them with an iron, since they required bending in three different directions. Of course, this was not easy, but I achieved an acceptable result. The 2nd rails were easier, I soaked them in hot water and attached them to the molds I had prepared beforehand and waited for them to dry. I tested all the rails in place and did not see any visible defects in symmetry. Now I will paint these rails and attach them to their places by adding the white stripes. Note: To name the rails correctly, I reviewed the MS plan again and renamed them. In this post, I have renamed the rails I made as 2nd rails and 3rd rails.

    If you plan on making full rigging I guarantee you will need the bumpkins.
  30. mtbediz
    Maybe. Here, everyone can learn someting from each other. That's the beauty of these posts.

    I have become quite adept at making pinstriping from brass wire. I have learned from the mistakes I made when making the starboard side cheek knees and can now make them much cleaner and neater
  32. mtbediz
    I'd be glad if I could help!
  33. mtbediz
    Thanks a lot Thomas, I make them from brass wire. I was just wondering how you did it. I tried to paint them like you did but I didn't succeed. You have a scale modeling background so you are much better at painting than I am.

    Peter, a few photos taken from the build log of a Constitution model maker on another site might be helpful to you regarding the construction of the 3rd rail and the others. For the link of that build log check your direct message box. I sent it to you.

    Hi Thomas, how did you make the white stripes on the rails on the bow? It's been a long time, I hope you remember By the way, the ship's boats look great!

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.
