    I angled them with a small file. You either have to make the slots angled or too wide. There's no other way.

    And there will be 2 more tops like this, but I still love this job.

    I've started building the fighting tops, which are quite detailed. I began with the main mast top and, if I'm not mistaken, I've already prepared and assembled 57 pieces for it so far. I'm not sure how many more will be needed.

    Jon, I am using Xken's method. I don't know if it could have been done any other way. The pictures are from Xken's build log.

    I'm still working on the masts. I've finished the chafing fish on all three masts and started mounting the iron bands. I cut the iron bands from 0.3 mm brass sheet and glued in place with CA.

    Thank you so much Jon, you are the king! This is exactly what I was looking for. The definitive solution to my problem
  27. mtbediz
    Yes, if the strops are strong enough, there's no need to glue them. You just have to try them and see.
  28. mtbediz
    I did the chamfering with my sander. Of course, the strips were too thin to hold by hand, so I used metal clamps to hold them while sanding.
  29. mtbediz
    Thanks for the plans, Jon. They’ll be helpful to me, but the given dimensions are a bit confusing. In the plan, I see the width of the main mast’s top as 21 feet. That’s roughly 6.4 meters, which seems quite large to me. Is it really that big? Or am I misreading the plan?
  30. mtbediz
    Dear friends, I have a question. I couldn't find any information on the plans regarding the size of the fighting tops on the masts. The fighting tops on all three masts are similar in design, but their sizes should be different. If you have information about their sizes in the documentation, could you please let me know? Thank you in advance.
  31. mtbediz
    I completed the chafing fish of the main mast using 1.5 x 2.2 mm basswood strips, chamfering their edges so they fit snugly around the mast without gaps.
  32. mtbediz
    I think it's a good solution, but don't forget to glue the strops to the deadeyes.
  33. mtbediz
    I began preparing the masts with the main mast. Using my milling machine, I squared off the top and chamfered the corners, as indicated in the plan. I don't know how much work is involved in completing this task yet. I think too much
  34. mtbediz
    The wood strip caps were added to the channels and entire channels and plates were varnished.
  35. mtbediz
    I installed the fife rails first, but now that I think about it, it makes more sense to put the masts in place first.

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.
