    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..🔥

    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

    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..😪

    Thanks for the like.. I was still missing structural elements on the tops supports. So late, but added.. Plate tops..🔥

    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..

    Finished the details of the mast heads (cap).. 💥 Dewetting for processing bonded parts.. Ready for the next floor with flagpoles...
  12. Ondras71
    After a really long break, I made progress again. Fore and main mast heads created. Just grooves for ropes and fittings... 🔥
  13. Ondras71
    I slowly continue on the masts..🔥

    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..🔥
  15. Ondras71
    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..💥
  16. Ondras71
    I modified my lathe to clamp long sections of masts..🔥 Production of topmasts has started.. Add some details and I can start assembling..💥
  17. Ondras71
    Thank you very much friends, I am trying my best..😁 Finally the main lower parts of the masts..🔥 Temporary direction signs created for exact machining directions.. The tops are machined and holes drilled for the location of the lower tie-down points.. Finished lower parts of the masts.. (Manual dividing device) Done..💥 Now tops and topmasts..🔥

    I finished the swivel cannons on the railing.💥 I created new smaller chambers.. After blackening.. The last visible detail, the chamber pins.. The last parts of the hull, chamber guns, placed.. And now I can rush to the rigging!!🔥
  19. Ondras71
    Thank you very much friends. thank you for the like. I'm continuing with the rotating chamber cannons on the railing, luckily there will only be four. I found the current cannon in a book by Ab Hoving: Het Schip Van Wilem Barents and painted it. Then the turning began. It is very small against already created cannons. Created pockets for exchange chambers. Of course, you need to start making a larger number, they slowly decrease during the work.. Added chambers.. Result OK..

    The boat placed on a stand... ...and bound...
  21. Ondras71
    Děkuji moc přátelé, děkuji za další lajky.😍 Kormidlo hotovo..🔥 Loď vypadá na palubě dobře.. Udělám stojan a pevně postavím loď...💥
  22. Ondras71
    The boat is ready, just the rudder and place it on the ship...🔥 The 1:60 scale is still demanding on details..
  23. Ondras71
    boat: bench and railing... It's only 10.3 cm... Now for accessories...🔥 For those interested in a competition or model exhibition : https://wchs-c-2023.eu/en/news/id:11798/czech-championship-of-section-c-2024

    I continue on the boat..🔥 I found beautiful photos of the Willem Barentsz boat replica. On the website of the modeler Heinrich. shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/high-hopes-wild-men-and-the-devil’s-jaw-willem-barentsz-kolderstok-1-50.8662/page-100 The tops of the ribs have been cleaned, the ribs have been cleaned inside, the top edge has been ground flat.. Completed the last rib and bottom of the boat.. Outer hull and bottom of boat waxed..🎨 Now the railings and benches..🔥💥

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.
