    Clinker planking of the port side is complete. I am happy with the result. I think it doesn't look so bad at all for a first time job done. I used 1.5x8 mm planks in planking. Maybe it would be more realistic if i used a bit wider planks,

    I finished the first layer of planking on the port side and started the second layer. Since the original planking of the ship was clinker type, I started it from the keel upwards. This is the first time I'm making a clinkered hull. In case I fail and get stuck, I decided to complete one side first so that I wouldn't have to deal with the other side in vain. Normally I do it on both sides.

    I cut the stem and keel in accordance with the drawings in the Anatomy of the Ship Alert book and mounted them in place.

    Hello guys, I just finished Essex. I couldn't share the finished version because I haven't photographed it yet. I will share as soon as possible. I have started my new project, HM Cutter Alert 1777. I used Vanguard's kit plan for cutting the bulkhead former and bulkheads. Since I chose a slightly larger scale (1:36), I cut the bulkhead former and bulkheads out of 6 mm plywood accordingly. As such, because of relatively stronger structure I eliminated the bulkheads securing patterns and lower deck pattern in the plan so the cutting work was considerably reduced. Since I will make the rabbet where the ends of the planks will enter in the bow part with my own method I cut the bulkhead former accordingly. I made the bulkhead former in 2 pieces in case it was warped because it was a little long. I cut the deck from 2 mm of plywood and glued it in place. I filled the bow with balsa. I will mostly use the drawings in the Anatomy of the Ship book during my build.

    I have completed the boat and hung on the hooks through the inboard eyelets. I attached those clamps as weights to stretch the lines and applied dilute PVA on the lines. I will remove the weights after the glue dries.

    I am now making a boat to hang to the stern davits.

    Very clean work as always.

    Thank you very much Bob. That means a lot coming from you, master.

    The rigging of the yards is now done. I will add a gaff to the mizzen mast to complete.

    I have now done the fore lower, topsail, topgalant and royal yards and their rigging.

    Hello friends. I watched a few videos on the internet on how to make rope coils for the belaying pins, but I couldn't get the image I wanted in the trials and I developed my own method.
  16. mtbediz
    The yards and rigging of the main mast have been completed.

    Very nice work on the hull Bug.
  18. mtbediz
    Excellent planking.

    Thanks so much for the likes my friends. The main lower yard has now been mounted and I've begun the running rigging lines. The jeers, sling and truss pendant have been completed.

    Mark, glad to hear you're okay. Happy christmas!
  21. mtbediz
    Happy christmas friends. I am sharing what I did on Essex since my last post. Not too much proceeding because the rope, blocks etc. production continues alongside the model.
  22. mtbediz
    I have made and mounted the three topgallant/royal masts and started rigging them.
  23. mtbediz
    The hull looks great Moonbug.
  24. mtbediz
    I completed the shrouds and ratlines of the topmasts and added main and mizzen topmast stays and backstays.

    I am very sad to hear that Mark. I hope you get well.

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.
