    I'm not too particular about measurements. If it were me, I would divide the deck into sectors, just like we did in the hull of the ship, and cover each sector independently of each other. Since you glued 11 rows, re-measure the remaining space as a separate sector and taper the planks according to this measurement,

    Good luck

    I can't work much these days because my shipyard is very hot in the summer months and I don't have access to cooling. I think this situation will continue until September. I don't want you to think that I've given up on building the model.

    Hello Peter. Since I will plank the spar deck to a minimum (only the center of the ship and possibly the areas under the guns) there will be no need to taper the planks. But if I were to completely cover the spar deck, I would taper the planks at the aft because it would be more realistic and look better.

    Yes Peter, building the model from scratch is cheaper and you have complete control.

    I don't try to get a very smooth surface in wooden models because in real life, wooden ship surfaces are not as smooth as a metal surface. Especially the lines at the junction of the planks are evident, making the model more realistic.

    Thank you Greg.

    Thank you Nils, I haven't decided yet whether to add the rigging or not but I'll keep building as if I will.

    I was away from my shipyard for a while because I had other things to do. I'm happy to be back again. I completed the assembly of the commodores cabin walls and doors that I started before.

    I recommend you to watch the video. You will find a clear answer on how you measure and line off at the bow area.

    Very tidy work on hatch coamings.

    Thank you my friend. I have very useful machines, they make my job easier.

    The frames of the hatchways on the spar deck were made and glued in place along with the ladders.

    Mizzen mast bitts were fabricated and installed.

    Thank you so much my friend.

    The cabin walls look like this after painting on white. I'm quite satisfied with the look.

    You are right, Peter. My model is a little larger than yours, but not by much. I did some research, actually I should have done this at the beginning, Conny's length according to Wikipedia is 63 m from billet head to taffrail. When I measure my model I see that it is 89.7cm. Accordingly, the scale of my model is 1:70, not 1:76. Dear friends, please accept my apology for this. I would be grateful if an administrator could revise the scale in the title accordingly.

    Hi Peter. Unfortunately, I do not have a scale plan. I will ask you to measure the length of the spar deck of your model for me. If you can do this and let me know the measurement, I will calculate the exact scale of my model and let you know. Thanks in advance.

    The fine details on all the white walls of the commodores cabin will be made from 0,5 mm pear strip. The walls will be painted white before gluing in place

    Congratulations for this beautiful model.

    Spar deck beams and connected knees have been completed up to where the commodores cabin is located and I started the construction of the commodores cabin.
  22. mtbediz
    This is why I don't buy kits.
  23. mtbediz
    Hi Peter, I only applied 3 coats of matte varnish.
  24. mtbediz
    The ladders going from spar deck to the gun deck are in place for dry fitting.

    Thank you Tobias.

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.
