    Thank you very much Chuck, thank you for the like.🙂 More small blocks made.. Before I have the milling cutters ready for the production of small pulleys, I started making all the ropes. There are a lot of them, 10 basic diameters in total. All Dutch ropes are right-handed, which means that it is difficult to make weak 3x1 ropes. Left-handed threads are first twisted into right-handed threads and then the ropes are knitted. Guttermann threads are quite good, but the weaker cotton waxed Sajou threads like to hold their shape and I don't want to twist them in the opposite direction. After a long time of trying, I figured out the ropewalk settings and especially the last adjustment. All the finished ropes are slightly hairy, I stretch them under the flame of a lighter...🔥 The 3x1 Sajou cable with a thickness of 0.35 mm also has to be pulled over the edge repeatedly to align the threads. But it works..

    I continue to make blocks, now Fidleblock in several sizes. The last size is borderline...

    I started making blocks. First large sizes, there are only a few of them, and then non-traditional shapes. "lift block", "sheet block" and "fiddle block"... The base on the milling machine, then hand-made..🔥 I plan to produce small-sized pulleys "by machine" on a milling machine using shaped milling cutters..😴
  24. Ondras71
    I finally fought the yards..🔥 Yards ready.. I bought fabric for sails, 80 g cotton batiste. I'm starting to learn to sew..
  25. Ondras71
    Thank you very much MikkiC, thanks for the like.. I keep going slowly, I'm turning the yards..🔥 I came across a new Proxxon, a 4-jaw chuck.. Great Christmas gift. The placement of the prisms is more accurate..😍 The first yards have been dialed in. Additional items will be placed.. I wish all modelers a lot of peace and, most importantly, diligence and a passion for building in the next construction year 2025.

    Placed deadeyes pulleys on tops..🔥
  27. Ondras71
    Tops received mounting elements..🔥 Like the pattern of Barents boat tops.. Here is a beautiful series about construction : Finished tops.. So it's rope and block time..🔥
  28. Ondras71
    Thus, the production of column tops had two episodes. The first, of course, is an exam. The direction of the flight of wood betrayed me. The second attempt was successful.. The top of the main mast dries, After waxing, nails and other details are added. The second top will be a piece of cake..🔥 Measurement by a sailor..

    Hello George. Interesting and clean painting. I also try to look for details and shapes on the internet, so I agree with your effort. I am curious about the resulting drawing. Ondras

    I greet you. The line is easy to maintain. I did the same thing on my boat. Fingers crossed for progress..🙂 San Martin kit...

    The second plate weakened under the cutter. After 0.1 mm, it removes sensitively.. Continuation of making hoops. My first attempt from the board broke years later. Second attempt according to reality from glued parts.. I had the cutters narrowed to 3 mm to shape the posts.. Now I will gradually create the shape of the posts, then they will be cut..

    Thank you very muchHubac. Thanks for the like. Moving on to the tops. Creating an accurate 0.75mm thick wooden hoop took some trying. Finally, I looked at the production system on the dividing device under the mill. The dividing device was a bit wobbly, I found a system on the net to adjust the length of the collets and center them. Base plate leveled on a lathe.. Milling works great by rotating the hands.. Board nails.. The board is glued to the hoop and carefully cut off.. Milled to the correct strength.. Now the top hoop. She is very fragile..😪
  33. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like.. I was still missing structural elements on the tops supports. So late, but added.. Plate tops..🔥
  34. Ondras71
    I finished the mast fight.. 🔥 Towards the end there are already very fragile parts.. Repair. It's worth creating a few extra parts..😪 Mast parts done..💥 Result.. Continuation - Tops..
  35. Ondras71
    Finished the details of the mast heads (cap).. 💥 Dewetting for processing bonded parts.. Ready for the next floor with flagpoles...

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.
