    Thank you so much. The hull is 710 mm stem to stern.

    I continued with the forecastle planking and cap rails. Forecastle has been covered partially like quarter deck and waist deck,
  10. mtbediz
    I added a grate and completed minimal planking of the waist deck.
  11. mtbediz
    The waist deck requires support stancions. I made a simple jig which helped me to produce stancions.
  12. mtbediz
    I have made the waist deck but not glued in place yet. This part of the decking required support stanchions which will be made next.
  13. mtbediz
    I have made and installed the quarterdeck pin rails.
  14. mtbediz
    I made up the quarterdeck bulwark ringbolts and eyebolts. I also made up cleats. I then drilled the bulwarks and transom for all of them and installed them. I then made two transom knees and installed them.
  15. mtbediz
    I did the cap rails for the bulwarks and transom.
  16. mtbediz
    Quarter deckplanking and internal planking of the bulwarks have been completed. To leave visible the details on the gun deck, I covered the quarter deck partially.
  17. mtbediz
    Quarter deck frame is complete
  18. mtbediz
    Chain pumps are ready to extract the bilge.
  19. mtbediz
    Quarter deck is still in progress. One of the three capstans and the chain pumps are in place.
  20. mtbediz
    I continue with the quarter deck.
  21. mtbediz
    Cannon balls
  22. mtbediz
    I have completed the rigging of the guns on the gun deck and started the quarter deck frames.
  23. mtbediz
    Dear Tom, I use walnut for the wheel.
  24. mtbediz
    OK Tom, understood now. I first cut the rings roughly with my scroll saw and then finished with sanding machines.
  25. mtbediz
    I continue with the guns. I have to complete installing of all the cannons and other furnitures on the gun deck before installing quarter deck and waist deck frames. I forgot to paint the wheels black before I glued them on the carriages so I decided to paint the whole carriage red. These cannons will hardly be seen since they will be under the quarter deck and waist deck. There will be fully visible cannons on the quarter deck and I will make the correct colouring for those cannons.

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.
