    Thank you Greg. Now that I think about it, it would have been better if I had stained the blocks, but I just applied matte varnish.

    Rigging of the carronades at the rear of the ship has been completed.
  3. mtbediz
    Yes, the waterways shown in the kit instructions are too wide, I made them narrower. By the way, I agree with Bthoe but it can be difficult to separate the parts you glued.

    Thank you so much.

    Absolutely beautiful work on the canopy frame Jon!

    Rigging of the carronades on the spar deck continues. In the photos the tackle ropes look thicker than they are. I think this happens because the resolution of the photos is reduced when uploading photos to this site.

    Thanks Greg. You spent bunch of money and bought a milling machine. You no longer need to purchase anything. We expect you to produce everything yourself. Enjoy your own work!

    I would like to show how I produce these 3 mm blocks for those who are interested. I have shared this method before, but I wanted to share it again for friends who do not know. First, I turned the wooden dowel with a diameter of 3 mm into an ellipse bar with my milling machine. Again, using my milling machine, I drilled holes with a diameter of 0.6 mm on this elliptical rod and then cut slots to represent the pulleys. After these procedures, I separated the blocks from each other by cutting them with my circular saw. I got rid of the excess with my sanding machine and cut slots on both sides of the blocks with my milling machine.

    Gun tackles will look like this, the smallest blocks I can make are this size. Now I need to make lots of blocks and hooks.
  10. mtbediz
    Thank you Greg. If I understand correctly what you mean; I prepare the gun tackles outside the ship. It remains only to attach them to the eyebolts on the carronades and bulwark.
  11. mtbediz
    All the guns on the spar deck are now in place. I'm now going to start making blocks for the gun tackles. Since the blocks will be quite small in size, a tough challenge awaits me. The blocks will be 3x2 mm in size, let's see if I can make it.

    I think there's been a misunderstanding Peter. I was talking about the rings at the cascabel of the carronades, not the long guns. There shouldn't be rings at the long guns anyway. As far as I see, the carronades you bought from Czechoslovakia do not have those rings. I was wondering how you would add these rings to the carronades. By the way, I started preparing the long guns.
  13. mtbediz
    Thank you for the sketch Peter, what I did is almost the same combination as in sketch. In the photos below, you can see the long gun I prepared and the long gun on the real ship I used as reference.

    The carronades look very nice, I'm just wondering how you would add the loops that the rope goes through.
  15. mtbediz
    Thank you so much Greg.
  16. mtbediz
    The assembly of the guns on the bow side continues. The guns here consist of 4 carronades and 2 long guns.
  17. mtbediz
    As in the rear, at the front of the ship, only the parts of the spar deck where the guns will be located were planked.
  18. mtbediz
    Very good work Greg. I have made two Santa Maria models before. I have build logs for both on MSW. If you wonder how I did things, you can check them out. Maybe you can find something useful there.
  19. mtbediz
    Thanks Greg. I actually hadn't decided how much to cover the spar deck until I reached this stage. At first, I thought of covering only the areas where the carronades would sit in small pieces, but when I tried it, I saw that this disrupted the integrity of the model and did not create a pleasant appearance, so I gave up and made such a planking. This provided the model with a nice appearance and also allowed the gun deck details to be seen. By the way, I was planning to cover the centerline of the spar deck, but I'm not doing that either. I leave it as it is.

    Thank you Jon.
  21. mtbediz
    Thanks Peter, yes I do the seizing first then I install the carronade on the carriage and I glue the eyebolts in the holes I drilled at the bulwarks earlier.
  22. mtbediz
    All carronades at the back of the ship are now in place.
  23. mtbediz
    Great work Peter!
  24. mtbediz
    Thank you Greg. I glue the carriages to the deck with CA because I prefer it to dry quickly. I apply a small drop of CA under the truckles.
  25. mtbediz
    I installed 8 carronades with breech ropes at the starboard side.

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.
