    So I made the right decision not to try to make the canopies your way.

    I completed the binnacles and installed them in their places.

    I just edited my answer, if you read it again it might make sense.

    I didn't use a special jig for this. I just fixed the rail onto a flat surface with tape and soldered the stancions to it while holding them with my hand. By the way, I use soldering paste for soldering, so my hand is free and I can hold the stanchion with my hand.

    Thank you Jon. For the aft skylight, I cut the base plate from 0.3 mm brass sheet and blackened it. I made the railing of the skylight from 0.7 mm brass wire, but I couldn't clean up the excess solder using my old files. So, I ordered a new set of files. I'll work on that later. Nothing is glued in place yet.

    I am working on captain's skylight. I prepared a hexagonal prism and a hexagonal-based conical prism from pear wood, adding details cut from 0.5 mm pear strips. I used black paint to represent the windows and made the window bars out of 0.5 mm brass wire. Finally, I finished it with a matte varnish."

    Never hesitate to ask anything Greg. I'm here to answer questions. Yes, I did exactly as you said and added a beam there. There are a lot of auxiliary beams on the original ship that I didn't add to my model anyway. And yes, I'll plank the aft side of the mizzen mast later.

    Thanks Greg. I was wondering where these ropes go and wanted to do a virtual tour to see them, but as you said, they go through the pantry.

    Thank you so much for the pictures Jon.

    Thank you so much.

    I made the deck planking for where the ship's wheel would sit and mounted it in place.
  33. mtbediz
    Thank you Jon.

    Helm pedestals were made.

    Thanks Greg. We have a saying; "The tool works but the hand boasts". Proper tools really make my life a lot easier.

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.
