    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..
  3. Ondras71
    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..

    Your work still rises upward Marsalv. I admire and support .. 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..

    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..
  11. Ondras71
    The left part of the hull is finished and ground before installing the pins..

    The banner with the name of the ship is amazing as well as the entire ship. Very inspiring building !! Ondras71

    The stern under the mirror is finished .. Closing the hull ..
  14. 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 continue tiling the hull.. I have already roughly straightened the mirror ledges..
  16. Ondras71
    Thank you very much, I know it will be a long work. However, it is the result that's important. I created about 3,700 pcs of pins, it is stereotypical but quick, about 500 pcs in an hour.. Pinning the hull test, the dark cherry pins are nicely visible in the light cherry! I'm planning to smear the surface of the hull with restoration wax, testing it ..
  17. Ondras71
    Thank you Mirabell61 I continue with the hull tiling .. I started making 0.65 mm diameter pins for the hull, only at the bottom there will be about 3.300 pieces..
  18. Ondras71
    Beautiful building, wonderful pattern for others !! I'm holding my thumbs, no problem with the sequel. O.
  19. Ondras71
    Garboard Plank..
  20. Ondras71
    Continue slowly in the hull tiling. The first hook on the bow has already been created .. Current condition after rough grinding ..
  21. Ondras71
    Slowly tilting the hull planks ..
  22. Ondras71
    Greetings. Very nice building, very nice scale. I watch everything with interest! O.
  23. Ondras71
    Little progress, lower wales ..
  24. Ondras71
    Placed top wales made of 5x3 mm strips.. Bending it into an arc created an unsuitable shape at the stem .. The end of the strip adjusted.. The result is satisfying .. planking started..
  25. Ondras71
    Thank you honestly zappto, Backer, HubacsHistorian..!! I placed the keel, stem, stern post .. According to the instructions I found on the Internet, I have created a tool for accurate ribbing.. And it works .. And it works .. When ordering wooden strips I forgot to order 5x3 mm strips for wales, so I was forced to make them on a saw ..

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.
