    Amazing to have it as your first model, very accurate and tidy. Your hand seems very adept at woodworking. Are you a carpenter?
  2. 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?
  5. mtbediz
    I added the transom knees which are present on the actual ship.
  6. 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.

    No, I won't add them because I'm making a model of the ship as it is today.

    She looks awesome!

    Midship rails completed.

    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.

    The main rails at the stern of the ship have also been completed.

    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
  15. mtbediz
    Thank you very much, friends. These are wonderful pictures and drawing. Everything looks very clear, it will be very helpful.

    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.
  21. mtbediz
    Thanks Greg. I made the large cleats with the Proxxon mill, the smaller ones were made by hand filing and sanding.
  22. mtbediz
    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.
  23. mtbediz
    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.
  24. mtbediz
    She looks great!
  25. mtbediz
    You've been preparing extensively for Conny, Greg. I think we can expect a heavily modified kit build from you.

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.
