    Because I wasn't happy with what I did before, I created a table that showed me how I should move the router bit in order to give the appropriate shape to the rear part of the carriage, which was difficult to make, and I milled accordingly. Thus, I achieved a more suitable profile. I can say that I acted like a CNC machine in a way.

    Prototype carriage completed and tested on the deck.

    Thank you Greg. A modeller friend of mine made the carronades for me with lathe.

    Unfortunately, I think it would not be possible to work with an ogee bit of this size on my micro milling machine. In the meantime, I'm working on a prototype carriage for testing. Then I will start mass production.

    Actually, I'm not very happy with the result. I'm looking for ways to do it better. Is there a router bit you can recommend?
  6. mtbediz
    Yes, there are traces of layers on mine too, but since I painted them, I didn't care much. The best way for you is to make templates and cut them out.

    Current overview of the model. I continue with carronade carriages. I'm making the side parts of the carriages with my milling machine.

    Good idea Haiko, glad it worked. I will try it when I need it.

    I really like your farm. How nice, you live in harmony with nature. No, I'm not a carpenter, I'm a mechanical engineer, but I'm retired now. I loved working with wood when I was a child, but I started this hobby after retiring about 6 years ago. I completed 3 kits and 3 scratch build, over time I started to like what I am doing, but the first ones I made seem very amateurish to me now, while your first model is a complete masterful work.

    These knees are parts that can be added whenever you want. I don't think anything was late or forgotten.

    Amazing to have it as your first model, very accurate and tidy. Your hand seems very adept at woodworking. Are you a carpenter?
  12. mtbediz
    A masterpiece, congratulations.

    I call it upper hull. I think there is no need for caulking, I have never seen anyone doing it. I just add caulking to the deck planking.

    Very nice progress my friend. What part of the ship do you mean by gunnel?
  15. mtbediz
    I added the transom knees which are present on the actual ship.
  16. mtbediz
    In your case, there is no need to wait for the furniture. I did not wait either.

    Actually, about a week ago, in my post number 467, I mentioned that I was making a model of the ship as it is today and that the bulwark and rails would be different from the MS kit. I even remember mentioning this in my previous posts also. I think you missed that.

    I am sure that I will visit these pages again when the time comes. We have a saying like this, I don't know if you would say the same thing. "I don't need to rediscover America." Because Columbus already did that.
  19. mtbediz
    No, I won't add them because I'm making a model of the ship as it is today.
  20. mtbediz
    She looks awesome!
  21. mtbediz
    Midship rails completed.
  22. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Peter. Since I was not initially focused on making such a detailed model, there are some minor mistakes that is due to lack of planning and which the viewers may not notice however, overall I am happy with the appearance of the model.
  23. mtbediz
    The main rails at the stern of the ship have also been completed.
  24. mtbediz
    Since, at this scale, it was not within my abilities to make the equipment in the images sent by friends, I settled for making it as in the photo
  25. mtbediz
    Thank you very much, friends. These are wonderful pictures and drawing. Everything looks very clear, it will be very helpful.

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.
