    Thank you Greg

    I have started the construction of gun deck cannon carriages. There will be 30 in total. I am making the cannon carriages from pear wood. First, I prepared a block that would form the side walls with a milling cutter, then I obtained the side walls by slicing the block with my table saw. After sanding and necessary drilling, I combined the front and rear wheel axles that I had prepared before with the side walls using the assembly jig I made.

    No problem. These types of discussions are instructive for everyone wherever they are held.

    I have started painting the upper hull. The starboard side is complete.

    Thank you very much Jon. I agree with Greg, these are great information and pictures and helped me a lot. Now I have to decide whether to add window sashes or not

    Dear friends I need a help in this stage. I would like to ask my friends who have knowledge. As far as I can see in the photographs, there are no frames in the stern windows of the ship today. Were there frames for glass in the windows in previous periods? If so, why did they remove these frames? Thanks.

    I agree with you on the issue regarding the wife.

    If I have nothing else to do, I work in my shipyard for 4-5 hours every day. I am retired.

    I used 1x1 mm basswood. I keep it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then clamp to the mold I prepared before and wait for it to dry. If you want to speed up the drying process you can use a hair dryer. Important: After removing the wood from the water, it is necessary to bend and clamp it to the mold as soon as possible without giving it a chance to cool.

    Nice, clean work.

    I added the pilasters to the transom today.
  12. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Greg.

    After completing the quarter gallery windows on the both sides, I added the moldings under the windows and on the transom.

    Based on the kit plan, yours looks correct. Since I made the gunports larger, the distance between them decreased. This was due to my carelessness. I probably took the measurement wrong.
  15. mtbediz
    Ratlines look very neat. Love your build, Geoff.

    It is certainly much easier to do the hull planking with the ship upside down. In all my models, I do not start doing the deck details until the hull planking and copper plating (if necessary) are completed. I even recommend doing the rudder and hinges while the ship is still in an upside down position. It will be much easier.

    Starboard side quarter gallery windows are completed.
  18. mtbediz
    Thank you Rentner.
  19. mtbediz
    The first window of the quarter galleries is complete but has not been glued in place yet.
  20. mtbediz
    I started the construction of Quarter Galleries. I'm taking the living Old Ironside as a reference.
  21. mtbediz
    Very nice work Greg.
  22. mtbediz
    I've seen yours and they are more accurately done. As I mentioned, I need to improve myself in working with metals.
  23. mtbediz
    I applied matte varnish on the copper plating. The shiny and disturbing image is gone.
  24. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Greg. I started to prepare the rudder. Since I don't have enough tools to handle the metal material, I make the pintles a little tricky The gudgeons were cut from 0.3 mm brass sheet and mounted in place with nails.
  25. mtbediz
    I completed the copper plating of the hull. The next stage is to prepare the rudder and install it in place while the ship is still in upside down position. This job is much easier when the ship is in this position.

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.
