    Thank you.

    Hi Jon, actually there aren't many ways to do this. I do what most modelers do. First, I make a template and transfer it to the wood. After cutting it with a scroll saw, I chamfer it with a file. Finally, I make corrections with sandpaper, that's all.

    Peter, windows look very good. I've never worked with styrene before. What tools do you use to cut and shape it properly? Thanks.

    I'm making the waterways. I made a jig for my circular saw to chamfer the waterways.

    A legendary work.

    In my opinion, a milling machine is a tool that every modeler should have. It makes things a lot easier and helps a lot in getting the job done properly. It will take you a few months at most to use the milling machine effectively. You will need a vise compatible with the milling machine and end mills of different diameters.

    Thank you so much Ronald.

    Gratings on the spar deck were completed and varnished.

    The windows look perfect, Peter. I have never used styrene in the models I have made but I will definitely use it from now on.

    Thank you Jon.

    I started fabricating the gratings on the spar deck. Nothing has been glued into place yet.

    We haven't heard from you for a long time, Peter. Are you fine?

    Cogratulatiobs, this is a masterpiece.

    Nikitin's kits look quite high quality. This will be a beautiful model. Some kit manufacturers call the part which we place the bulkheads the "bulkhead former", and the bottom piece connected to it as the "false keel".

    Thank you so much for your kind comment Greg.

    Dear Jon, your build log and your work have been an inspiration to me since I started this model. Thank you again for this. My advantages are that I make everything from scratch and have enough materials and tools.
  17. mtbediz
    Glad to hear that you and your family are fine.

    Gun deck details and spar deck beams have been completed. I will not add the details of the captain's cabin because I will cover it completely.

    Greg, congratulations on finishing this great model. I'm looking forward to Santa Maria's posts.

    I made a console and table with chairs for the commodores cabin.

    After a long summer break, I returned to my shipyard. I spend summers at my house in Alanya district of Antalya, a world-renowned holiday destination frequently visited by foreign tourists. On maps, it is located in the south of Turkey on the Mediterranean coast. I had wonderful days with my children and grandchildren and regained my energy. Now it's time to work. I completed the walls of the Commodore cabin. Now I will start making the furniture in the cabin.

    You're doing a great job, Greg. I stay away from the idea of adding sails to my models because I could not achieve a realistic appearance in my first models I built. I also noticed that the sails concealed the detail work on the ship and the details in the rigging. Of course, if you can give the sails a realistic appearance, this will contribute to the model, but I could not achieve this.

    Hi Jon. The quadruple bilge pump is currently behind the main mast of the real ship, and the double pump is in front of the mast, but in your model you have mounted the quadruple pump in front of the main mast. Is there any particular reason?
  24. mtbediz
    She becomes a super model Jon. She has many more subtle details than mine, congratulations. I'm looking forward to getting back to my model too.
  25. mtbediz
    Congratulations, she is beautiful.
