    I haven't done the bowsprit yet. Due to the summer season, I paused the construction of my model until the end of August.
  2. mtbediz
    Yes, I agree about bowsprit tenon. MS kit plan also shows as you did.

    A very nice looking cannon, Like it.

    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.

    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.
  12. 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.

    Thank you my friend. Do you have a build log? It would be interesting to follow for me.
  14. mtbediz
    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.
  15. mtbediz
    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.
  16. 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,

    I'm back with a new project—a 1:76 scale model of the USS Constitution. As always, I'll be building it entirely from scratch. For reference, I’ll be using the Constitution book alongside the kit plans from Model Shipways. Although the Model Shipways kit doesn't include details for the gun deck, I plan to add both the deck and its details to my model. At this stage, my intention is to fully rig the ship, except for the sails. However, since this will be a long-term project, I’ll see where time and progress take me. As always, I welcome constructive criticism, suggestions, recommendations, and general feedback. The pictures show my progress so far, and I’ll continue sharing updates as the build evolves.

    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.

    A different view of the model

    Many thanks for the likes. The rigging continues.
  22. mtbediz
    The anchors were rigged.
  23. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Phil.
  24. mtbediz
    I have made the anchors and buoys out of wood.
  25. mtbediz
    Thank you so much.

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.
