    Thank you Jon. In fact, I will partly cover the spar deck so that the details on the gun deck can be seen even a little.
  2. mtbediz
    I also guessed they were stoppers. Thank you for your confirmation.

    I don't know exactly what this mechanism does, the anchor chain passes through the hole. It looks like some kind of clamp. These won't be very visible when the model is finished, but I wanted to add them anyway. At least I'll know they are there.

    Thank you. I don't know the purpose of this spherical assembly in the pump, but it appears to be out of scale in my model. Looks like I'll try to find smaller ones.
  5. mtbediz
    I tested with the beads I found at home to see how the pump would look when the pieces are put together. I am pleased with the look and hoping the pump will look better once it's painted. I will try to find smaller spherical beads.

    I first made the frames from wood because I didn't have square brass bar. But I didn't like it very much, it was too rough and far from reality. That's why I remade them from brass wire. I think they look more realistic now.

    Magnificent workmanship. I'm glad you're back, I will stay tuned.
  8. mtbediz
    Thank you Geoff.

    Thank you Jon. While making the details, I greatly benefit from the experiences you shared in your build log. Of course, because the materials and tools we have are different, our ways of making things are also different.

    Thank you.

    I have started making the bilge pumps, the rocker arms and frames of the quadruple pump are complete

    I bought the dividing attachment two years ago too, but I haven't used it even once until today. I hope you get the opportunity to use it.
  13. mtbediz
    Thank you.
  14. mtbediz
    The lower capstan is complete. It will be varnished later.
  15. mtbediz
    Thank you Jon. I have always found scary working with circular saw from a safety perspective, so I stay away from it as much as possible. I only use it for cutting wood.

    Thank you Greg. Good luck with your Proxxon MF70 (If I understand correctly, you bought the machine). It's a really great tool. With it, your life will become easier and the quality of your work will increase. A must have tool for every modeler. It's a little pricey, but it's worth spending the money. I hope you also purchased the vise compatible with this machine. Because you'll need it too. The vise is as in the link below. https://www.amazon.com.tr/Proxxon-24260-makine-mengenesi-PM40-PROXXON-MF70-için/dp/B000S8HPLG/ref=asc_df_B000S8HPLG/?tag=trshpngglesp-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=510209936070&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16659119729733792243&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=21068&hvtargid=pla-316724730214&psc=1&mcid=6b9d52512a603006a97b8b1110d9a39c

    I created the square holes that the capstan bars are inserted, using Jon's technique (JGerson). Jon stated that he used a circular saw while doing these, I used my milling machine.
  18. mtbediz
    Thank you Greg. I attached the sandpaper to a 10 mm diameter dovel using double-sided tape. I cut the piece of wood to the appropriate size, clamped it in a vice, and gave the piece this shape with the sandpaper I prepared. I will add a photo of the sandpaper I prepared tomorrow to this post.
  19. mtbediz
    I started making the capstan on the gun deck. The parts have not been glued yet.
  20. mtbediz
    Great work.
  21. mtbediz
    Great work.
  22. mtbediz
    I completed the stove and chain bits
  23. mtbediz
    Thank you Greg.
  24. mtbediz
    Thank you Jon.

    Added some details to the ship stove.

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.
