    Thanks for stopping by Sjors. I will be away from the model until the end of August as I am out of town due to the Summer season.

    Hi Sjors. Bowsprit drawing is In the lower right corner of the sheet 6.
  5. mtbediz
    Hi Sjors, The diameter of the bowsprit is 10.32 mm (13/32 '') in the thickest part, but the bowsprit will be tapered forward and backward. By the way, Model Shipways' blueprint (kit plan) has drawing of the bowsprit.

    Hi Sjors, you may consider to redo the stern fillers. Attached photo is from JSGerson's build log and shows the correct form of the stern fillers.

    An extraordinary beautiful work. I also admire the way you use the electrical tools. I have a question if you don't mind. What kind of milling cutter is in the photo and what is its advantage? I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before. Thank you in advance.

    Good luck with your new build. Yes in this kit you have to make a lot of parts from scratch.

    Gunport sides had to be prepared in a parallelogram shape to fit perfectly. Using the extensions of the gunport spacer as a template, I marked the side strips and shaped them with a disc sander.

    I started the assembly of the gunport headers on the gun deck by completing the waterways. Like other modelers, I used spacers to keep the headers at the same height. I will add the cannons with full rigged carriages instead of dummy cannons on the gun deck.

    Thank you my friend. Do you have a build log? It would be interesting to follow for me.

    I continued with the bow framing. Before glueing the gun deck I cut the openings for the gratings, ladders and masts on it and started the waterways.

    Thank you so much for the likes and comments my friends. I glued the bulkheads and put spacers between them. I always put these spacers as a precaution against warping the keel in later stages.
  14. mtbediz
    I always add the keel, stem and sternpost first but before adding them I cut the rabbet where the keel, stem and sternpost will be installed. This helps us a lot when planking,

    Hello friends. I am here again with my new project 1:76 scale USS Constitution model. Of course, it will be a build from scratch again. While making the model, I will use the Constitution book as well as the kit plan of Model Shipways. Model Shipways' kit does not include gun deck details, but I will add the gun deck and its details to my model. My current thought is to make full rigging equipment except sails, but I don't know what the time will show us because it will be a long-term project. Again, as always, I am open to constructive criticism, comments, suggestions and recommendations.The pictures show what I have done so far and I'll continue to share as I progress. Kind regards.

    Thank you very much, my friends, for your likes and nice comments. My next project is the USS Constitution scratch construction that I've already started, and I'll be starting to share the progress soon.

    Hello friends. After about 1200 working hours in 13 months, I completed the Alert. Many thanks to everyone who followed, contributed, commented, advised and criticised. My next project will be USS Constitution scratch build. See you soon!! Enjoy Watching.

    Thank you so much Phil.
  22. mtbediz
    I have made the anchors and buoys out of wood.

    The halyards were secured and a few rope hanks were added to the cleats and the pins .

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.
