    Thomas, I didn't notice the two screw type carronades were also there. I checked again and yes they are there. I will try to make them.

    Yes I can see the concept. I was lazy and didn't add this piece under the gun bed in the plans because it wasn't very visible Here is my concept;
  22. mtbediz started following HMS Triton by James Flynn - POB - Beginning My learning of the construction of ships of the line and US Brig Syren by Shazmira - Model Shipways - 1:64
  23. mtbediz
    Great start, I will be following.
  24. mtbediz
    It is time to prepare the carronades that will be placed at the aft of the ship. I painted and varnished the carronades. I cut the capsquares from brass sheet, shaped them with the help of a simple tool I made, drilled the necessary holes and blackened them. The next job will be to secure the carronades to the carriages. When everything is put together they will look like in the last photos. I produce the breeching ropes myself with my homemade ropewalk.

    Since I am building this model from scratch, I will need to make this ornament on the bow somehow, but I still don't know how to do it. I hope you find an easy way to do this and I can copy the method.

    I've never worked with plexiglass. I had dreamed of cutting the deck as a whole from plexiglass. Of course, cutting it into strips and gluing them can also be considered. But since the plexiglass is transparent, I do not know whether the adhesive layer to be applied will cause a bad appearance. I think that if we cut and glue the deck as a whole, we can more easily camouflage the stains that will arise from the glue.
  27. mtbediz
    Dear friends, thank you all so much for the encouraging comments.
  28. mtbediz
    Thank you Peter. I really like the idea of a transparent plexiglass/acrylic deck. I never thought about doing this because I had never heard or seen it before, but I loved the idea. Later on another model I will use this idea, it would be really interesting.

    Spar deck planking at the aft of the ship has been completed.

    I don't stain, Greg. I only apply matte varnish. I made the gun deck the same way.
  31. mtbediz
    Greg, I actually decided yesterday how to plank the spar deck. Of course, I had a few options in mind, but I waited for the carriages to be completed before deciding. That way, with the trials, I would have an idea of what the overall look would be like. I applied the options in my mind without gluing the planks and decided the composition seen in the photos, which I thought would not disrupt the integrity of the model. I am undecided whether to plank the center line of the ship yet. I am using 3x1,5 mm hornbeam wood for the spar deck planking.
  32. mtbediz
    I started planking the zones of the spar deck that will be under the carronades. As I said before; I will partially plank the spar deck so that the details on the gun deck will be visible.

    You can try cutting from 0.5 mm veneer with a sharp blade. I don't think it will be very difficult.

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.
