    I think the reason is that it makes the hull of the ship stronger against lateral forces. Like zigzag braces on lattice electric poles. If there is an expert on the subject here, maybe he/she can contribute to the reason for this.

    Actually, I did not use a file when chamfering the curved bow waterway on the port side. I thought about how I could do it better. I attached a drum sander to my hand drill mounted on my drill stand and made an inclined table in front of the drum. Thus, by sanding the waterway at a fixed angle, I achieved a more regular chamfer and completed the job in a much shorter time.

    The spar deck waterways have been completed.

    Thank you.

    Hi Jon, actually there aren't many ways to do this. I do what most modelers do. First, I make a template and transfer it to the wood. After cutting it with a scroll saw, I chamfer it with a file. Finally, I make corrections with sandpaper, that's all.

    Peter, windows look very good. I've never worked with styrene before. What tools do you use to cut and shape it properly? Thanks.

    I'm making the waterways. I made a jig for my circular saw to chamfer the waterways.

    A legendary work.

    In my opinion, a milling machine is a tool that every modeler should have. It makes things a lot easier and helps a lot in getting the job done properly. It will take you a few months at most to use the milling machine effectively. You will need a vise compatible with the milling machine and end mills of different diameters.

    Thank you so much Ronald.

    Gratings on the spar deck were completed and varnished.

    The windows look perfect, Peter. I have never used styrene in the models I have made but I will definitely use it from now on.

    Thank you Jon.

    I started fabricating the gratings on the spar deck. Nothing has been glued into place yet.

    We haven't heard from you for a long time, Peter. Are you fine?

    Cogratulatiobs, this is a masterpiece.

    Nikitin's kits look quite high quality. This will be a beautiful model. Some kit manufacturers call the part which we place the bulkheads the "bulkhead former", and the bottom piece connected to it as the "false keel".

    Thank you so much for your kind comment Greg.

    Dear Jon, your build log and your work have been an inspiration to me since I started this model. Thank you again for this. My advantages are that I make everything from scratch and have enough materials and tools.

    Glad to hear that you and your family are fine.

    Gun deck details and spar deck beams have been completed. I will not add the details of the captain's cabin because I will cover it completely.

    Greg, congratulations on finishing this great model. I'm looking forward to Santa Maria's posts.

    I made a console and table with chairs for the commodores cabin.

    After a long summer break, I returned to my shipyard. I spend summers at my house in Alanya district of Antalya, a world-renowned holiday destination frequently visited by foreign tourists. On maps, it is located in the south of Turkey on the Mediterranean coast. I had wonderful days with my children and grandchildren and regained my energy. Now it's time to work. I completed the walls of the Commodore cabin. Now I will start making the furniture in the cabin.

    You're doing a great job, Greg. I stay away from the idea of adding sails to my models because I could not achieve a realistic appearance in my first models I built. I also noticed that the sails concealed the detail work on the ship and the details in the rigging. Of course, if you can give the sails a realistic appearance, this will contribute to the model, but I could not achieve this.

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.
