    Before placing the curved planks, make a paper form, according to it bend the boards sideways and then according to the hull. do not create a clinker surface .. it's a wonderful job. You are going very well! Ondras.

    Doors placed in frame, frame bent over a template, wood shortly boiled in water .. First attempts to produce fittings. 0.2 mm brass sheet out of frames from accessories from HiSModel.com .. Still thinking about having the fittings etched, the result would definitely be better, but maybe after trying longer I'll manage to make it ..

    Thank you! Presentation of the building with music here:

    While drying the planks I started making doors. Soon I will need first ones for the mirror. I was so into it, that I also made all the door wings and prepared a form for frame bending.. O.

    I agree the larger draft is better. Your work is admirable. It's a beautiful sailing ship, and actually a functional one. I guess my wife is going to be forcing me to these results as well. Ondras

    Thank you Backer!! After a long break I started laying planks over the wales .. I picked up and made a tool for safe sanding of planks to create narrow strips around the gun ports.. I bought additional clamps, four sizes of office ones and the commended MT 70 clamps with 11 cm jaws..

    Hi Doris. Your results are becoming more and more astonishing to me. O.

    After raising the sides.. ..I modified the shape with balsa .. The hull is ready for the outer cladding up to the colored part of the sides.. I found a Czech beer of the right year..

    Thank you GrandpaPhil.. I prepared the keel on the stand .. Pins between wales, approx. 3,300 pins placed .. I cut the spruce into 1x5 mm strips.. And increased the base of the hips with the 2 and 1 mm layers, That makes it 3 mm strong, on that comes the outer and inner cherry planking ..

    I'm getting more and more like your beautiful and clean work. I'm losing my hat. O.

    I've finished pinning the lower mirror. There's no pins at all in the plan. I was looking for a suitable pattern, I found it in the Prins Willem monograph.. I altered my pins a bit in a way they would look on a smaller ship..

    The pins placed at the bottom of the sides..

    As the Ulises Victoria writes. Surely you'll be adding detail photos of the ship from all directions. Thanks Ondras

    Impressive ship, impressive scale !! For a beautiful model the house is never small .. Do you share with us other ship details ...? Ondras

    Somewhere I read that the pins are like Braille... I guess it is true, I quite enjoyed reading these lines .. The polished left side.. After waxing the pins are well noticeable..
  17. Ondras71
    Your work still rises upward Marsalv. I admire and support .. Ondras71
  18. Ondras71
    Thank you Vivian!! I started with the installation of pins .. The first piece is polished. After waxing the pins will be beautifully seen .. O.

    Thank you Srodbro!! I marked the whole left side with a spike and immediately started drilling 0,65 mm holes. There's cca 1600 of them on one side, but it's going unexpectedly well..
  20. Ondras71
    Thank you Michael Mott. I started measuring and painting lines for placing the pins .. Before drilling, I decided to use a spike to get the accurate spacing of the holes..
  21. Ondras71
    The left part of the hull is finished and ground before installing the pins..
  22. Ondras71
    The banner with the name of the ship is amazing as well as the entire ship. Very inspiring building !! Ondras71
  23. Ondras71
    The stern under the mirror is finished .. Closing the hull ..
  24. Ondras71
    Thank you very much Backer, Ferit KUTLU.. The planking continues, difficult places at the stern under the mirror already done.. Bow closed and ready to install pins ..

    I also report on board, to such a beautiful fleet..

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.
