    The main rails at the front of the ship have been completed. (It is worth reminding again. Since I am making a model of the ship's current state, the rail system and bulwarks are different from the ship's MS kit). Breast knee and pin rail were fabricated but not installed yet. At this point I have a question for Jon and the other friends. In the internet images of the ship, the main stays appear to be connected to the breast knee via bullseyes, but the images are not clear and the details are not visible. My question is; How are bullseyes attached to the breast knee? If anyone has an image that clearly shows this detail and can share it here, I would be grateful.

    Thank you so much for your efforts, Jon. If I were to build the catheads according to these plans, I would have to cut the waterways. Since I didn't want to do this, I shaped the cathead according to the waterways.

    Thanks Greg and yes, to create the half-lap joint I used my mill. Once you start using your own mill, you will realize how much you can do with it.

    I'm glad I could contribute, Peter. In a boat building video I watched on YouTube, I saw boat builders making the stempost of a sailboat using this method. Since I experienced in my previous models that bending wide boards was very difficult or even impossible, I planned to try this method on this model. I am glad that I achieved a good result.

    I started the main rail. I'm making the curved rail in the bow section differently this time. In my previous models, I did it by cutting, but this time I am making it with a different method. I cut three 2x4 mm of baswood strips according to the size and kept them in hot water for 15 minutes. Then, I clamped the strips into the mold I prepared before and waited for it to dry. Then, I applied PVA glue between the strips and clamped again to the mold, waited for the glue to dry, and removed it from the mold.

    Thanks Greg. I made the large cleats with the Proxxon mill, the smaller ones were made by hand filing and sanding.

    In the bow section, I have almost completed the interior planking of the bulwarks and the accessories on the bulwarks. I first assembled the cleats and steps made from scratch onto the planks, then glued these planks into place.

    I don't know why you need an extra layer but If the issue is aesthetic requirement maybe instead of the 1.5 mm second layer, you might consider adding a 0.5 mm veneer, as many modelers do.

    She looks great!

    You've been preparing extensively for Conny, Greg. I think we can expect a heavily modified kit build from you.

    Thank you Peter. Yes, these details can be added on the model, but it is easier to do it beforehand.

    Thank you so much.

    The appearance is satisfactory.

    Thanks Jon. Yes I can wait for the plans.

    Jon, Peter; Happy Thanksgiving to both of you!!

    Thank you so much my friend.

    I started making the catheads.

    Friends who follow will remember. The distance between the spar deck aft windows and the gun deck aft windows was not in accordance with the plans (was my mistake). For this reason, when the spar deck construction was completed, these window sills remained under the spar deck. By adding to the sills of these windows, I raised these windows to the spar deck level. That's why the moldings had to be redone as well. https://ussconstitutionmuseum.org/discover-learn/modeler-resources/

    Thank you.

    Thank you Greg.

    Thank you so much Peter. As I mentioned before, my model is actually 1:70 scale, so it is slightly larger than yours. The reason is that I could not fully match the scale of the kit plan. But I'm glad it happened, it gave me some relief while working.

    She really looks nice. I wonder whether Constitution has always been painted black since she was launched or she was painted later.
  23. mtbediz
    Thank you.

    There is not much progress, I just want to share the current overview of the model.

    Those furnitures are amazing Peter! Is carpentry your profession or are these part of your hobby too?

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.
