    The frames of the hatchways on the spar deck were made and glued in place along with the ladders.

    Mizzen mast bitts were fabricated and installed.

    Thank you so much my friend.

    The cabin walls look like this after painting on white. I'm quite satisfied with the look.

    You are right, Peter. My model is a little larger than yours, but not by much. I did some research, actually I should have done this at the beginning, Conny's length according to Wikipedia is 63 m from billet head to taffrail. When I measure my model I see that it is 89.7cm. Accordingly, the scale of my model is 1:70, not 1:76. Dear friends, please accept my apology for this. I would be grateful if an administrator could revise the scale in the title accordingly.

    Hi Peter. Unfortunately, I do not have a scale plan. I will ask you to measure the length of the spar deck of your model for me. If you can do this and let me know the measurement, I will calculate the exact scale of my model and let you know. Thanks in advance.

    The fine details on all the white walls of the commodores cabin will be made from 0,5 mm pear strip. The walls will be painted white before gluing in place

    Congratulations for this beautiful model.

    Spar deck beams and connected knees have been completed up to where the commodores cabin is located and I started the construction of the commodores cabin.

    This is why I don't buy kits.

    Hi Peter, I only applied 3 coats of matte varnish.

    The ladders going from spar deck to the gun deck are in place for dry fitting.
  13. mtbediz
    Thank you Tobias.

    Installation of the spar deck beams continues. These need to be placed in harmony with the gun deck details.

    Yes Peter, it's a great machine. I think it is a machine that every modeler should have. I do most of my work with it. Ladders, gratings, gun carriages, blocks, precision drillings and many other things.

    Stanchions look nice Jon. Using brackets to support the stanchions is a very clever solution.

    You are welcome Greg.

    Hi Greg, I had made the ladders going down from gun deck to the berth deck in a way that did not match the real ladders at all (Take a look at my post number 26. I used an easy method). Frankly, I did not pay much attention to the angle of the ladders as they would not be so visible. Since these stairs would be completely visible I had to make them realistic. Because I don't have scale plans, I had to take the measurements from the model and for this I had to wait for the spar deck beams to be put in place. I transferred the measurements to the piece of wood in the photo, fixed the sides of the ladder onto it with double sided adhesive tape and made slots for the ladder steps with the milling machine.

    Thank you for stopping by and for your nice comment.
  20. mtbediz
    I started making the ladders passing through the spar deck hatches to the gun deck.
  21. mtbediz
    Main hatch coaming completed. As I mentioned before, only the starboard side has been covered with gratings.
  22. mtbediz
    I only use varnish on my unpainted models and I have no problem gluing things on them but I previously had severe gluing problems on a model where I applied tung oil.
  23. mtbediz
    Congratulations! Excellent planking, if I were you I wouldn't paint it.
  24. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Greg.

    Thank you Peter. Yes, I look faster than many modelers, but of course (I think) this is related to the fact that I spend more time on this job than they do and I don't have anything else better to do.

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.
