    The coppering is complete.
  12. mtbediz
    I started coppering. I am using a ponce wheel to make the rivet effects on the copper tape. I made a simple tool to create the joints on the copper strip as well.

    Thank you Bob. I am retired and work in my shipyard at least 8 hours a day. Of course this Covid virus forced me to stay at home and work on my hobby at the same time.

    I painted the hull black. Below the waterline will be coppered. I ordered self adhesive copper tape for the task. I worked on stern transom. Since I don't have detailed plans I draw some parts myself.
  15. mtbediz
    I completed the upper hull nail effects. I drilled the holes with a 1 mm drill bit and used a mechanical pencil.
  16. mtbediz
    The stern windows are complete. I made a simple jig to get a standard in windows. They haven't been glued in place yet. They will be painted white first.

    I completed the gun deck nail effects. I made a simple marking tool to keep constant the distances of the treenails. I drilled with 0,8 mm drill bit and used a 0,7 mm of mechanical pencil.
  18. mtbediz
    I completed deck planking
  19. mtbediz
    I cut the gun deck in three parts and installed. I planked inner bulwarks.
  20. mtbediz
    I installed false lower deck pieces and reinforced mast slots.
  21. mtbediz
    Lower hull planking is completed.
  22. mtbediz
    Hello friends. I completed the upper hull planking and the starboard side hull planking. Not sanded yet.
  23. mtbediz
    The upper hull planking continues. The wood is Spanish cedar.

    OC and Mark, dear friends, many thanks for the kind words and the likes.
  25. mtbediz
    Thank you so much for the likes. I am back in the shipyard after a short holiday with my mom in the neighbour city. I completed gun port frames and painted them scarlet. I completed stern planking and started planking of the upper hull. I am using 1,5x5 mm of Spanish cedar strips in the upper hull and stern planking.

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.
