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..🔥 -

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 -

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..😪 -

After a really long break, I made progress again. Fore and main mast heads created. Just grooves for ropes and fittings... 🔥 -

Greetings Kirill. Thank you very much for your response, you hit the spot where I was wondering about mast height. I calculated the masts according to the table in the book "Mondfeld - Historic Ship Models" and the dimensions fit the plan. However, the lower parts (main mast, fore mast, mizen mast) still seemed short to me. I compared the masts with the masts according to the Zeehaen plan and they turned out to be about 10 percent longer. So the masts are raised. The Main yard and Fore yard locations will now sit as well..🔥 -

Mast parts done. Topmasts supplemented with pulleys.. Making basket supports called Mast Cheeks. Again processing the glued and then soaked parts.. I have already reached model height..💥 -

I modified my lathe to clamp long sections of masts..🔥 Production of topmasts has started.. Add some details and I can start assembling..💥

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.
