    I've been following your build with interest and I'm also building a Conny from scratch by adding a gun deck. Each of your posts gives me a new source of inspiration. Thanks for your detailed sharing Jon.

    The gun deck hatches and ladders have been installed, I think it is time to install the gun deck planking now.

    I built the framework for the stern windows and ports for the gun.

    Thank you Phil.

    Most of the modelers who built the kit for this model mentioned the incompatibility of the stern frames in their build logs. I had to modify the outer frames on both sides, which was really incompatible, and align it with the others. Meanwhile, the inner planking of the deck side walls has been completed.

    I painted the gundeck waterways green. The color looked different in the photos due to the lighting, but it is actually a darker green. I started doing the inner planking of the gundeck side walls. First, I cut the planks to the same size, paint them white and glue them between the gun ports.

    By the way, I wanted to make a prototype cannon carriage and test it.

    The openings on the gun deck (gratings, hatchways, and ladders) were constructed but have not been glued in place yet.

    Thank you Gerson.

    In my previous post, I mentioned that I made the gratings in a different way. This method gave both easier and more satisfying results. Of course, I am not the inventor of this method. I also saw it in another modeler's build log and I am sharing it here for my friends who do not know about this method. There is only one tip. The depth of the slots in the South-North direction and the depth of the slots in the East-West direction should be different so that a depth can be achieved.

    Hello friends. After a long summer break I feel happy to be back at my shipyard. Continuing the construction of Conny. The gun port frames on the gundeck are complete. The stern frames have been prepared but have not been glued in place yet. Since I'm going to make the captain's cabin visible, I modified the stern middle frames by going out of the plans. The filler blocks were made for the stern and bow. They have not been glued yet either. By the way, I tried making the gratings in a different way. I am quite happy with the result. It is also very simple to make and I will show you how I did it in my next posts.

    You are welcome Sjors. I will be at my shipyard again at the end of this month.

    Hi Sjors, 1 inch=25,4 mm 1/8 inch = 25,4/8 = 3,175 mm 1/16 inch = 25,4/16 = 1,5875 mm 1/32 inch =25,4/32 = 0,79 mm 3/16 inch =(25,4/16)x3 = 4,76 mm 3/32 inch =(25,4/32)x3 = 2,38 mm I hope this helps.

    I haven't done the bowsprit yet. Due to the summer season, I paused the construction of my model until the end of August.
  15. mtbediz
    Yes, I agree about bowsprit tenon. MS kit plan also shows as you did.
  16. mtbediz
    A very nice looking cannon, Like it.
  17. mtbediz
    I am in neighbour city Antalya right now. Normaly I live in Mersin, Turkey
  18. mtbediz
    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.
  20. 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.
  21. mtbediz
    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.
  22. mtbediz
    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.
  23. mtbediz
    Good luck with your new build. Yes in this kit you have to make a lot of parts from scratch.
  24. mtbediz
    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.
  25. mtbediz
    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.

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.
