    Dear friends, I had to take a break for a while due to a health problem in my knee, but I'm fine now and I'm back at my shipyard. The boom and some details are done.
  2. mtbediz
    Started preparing and installing the yards.
  3. mtbediz
    Thank you so much.
  4. mtbediz
    Mainstay and preventer stay are in place.
  5. mtbediz
    The ratlines done.

    The shrouds have been completed. I decided to add pin racks instead of cleats on the shrouds.
  7. mtbediz
    I completed the rigging of the tiller.
  8. mtbediz
    I have prepared the mainmast and topmast.

    Thanks for stopping by, Jorge. Merry Christmas to you too. This build has two layers of planking. I glued the planks to the first layer and to themselves with super glue. But before attaching, I made the necessary tapering and bending of the planks.
  10. mtbediz
    The pumps are ready.

    Rob, thank you very much for your interest. Yes, the larger scale is more advantageous in terms of detail work.
  12. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Tobias.
  13. mtbediz
    The deadeyes have been installed.

    Thank you Allan. I know very little about the history of ship equipment and I can't say that I have done much in-depth research. I'm just trying to stick to the drawings in Goodwin's Alert book for my model. If I just think logical about what you're talking, I think that a single and a double block should have been used for the larger cannons, and two single blocks should have been used for the smaller and lighter cannons.
  15. mtbediz
    The ladders done.
  16. mtbediz
    Port steps were made and installed.
  17. mtbediz
    Rails and swivel gun pedestals have been done. I made the swivel gun yokes out of brass wire and blackened with chemical.
  18. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Bruce.
  19. mtbediz
    Gun rigging has finally been completed. The other deck fittings have not been glued yet.
  20. mtbediz
    Gun side tackles and their rope coils have been done and the gun carriage traversing tackles are started.
  21. mtbediz
    All the gun breeching ropes attached to the bulwarks and I started to attach the gun side tackles. The hooks, rings and eyebolts were made from brass wire.
  22. mtbediz
    Rigging of the gun carriages starts.
  23. mtbediz
    Thank you Brian. The pain is in the nature of this job. Bu we love this job.
  24. mtbediz
    Still working on the guns.
  25. mtbediz
    Continued to prepare the guns.

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.
