    Thank you very much Patrick and Rock! Thanks for the like. I weakened the vanes to 1.3mm according to the Zeehaen ship anchor plan, now better..🔥 Polished with 00 steel wool and ready for blackening..🔥

    Thank you very much friends! Boat put away for a while, making anchors, another challenge...🔥 Here, however, a larger burner than the one in the photo is used for heating..

    Thank you so much Hubacs and Steven.. I got over the "lean" period a bit and started working on the boat. The lower parts of the ribs are gradually ground, the horror, each part a different angle.. The ribs are gradually placed on the keel.. It's a bit like making another model..

    After a very long time I finished the hoof for the workboat. I'm building this one according to the Zeehaen plan.. Prepared keel, stern post, stem and ribs..

    Thank you Baker for the kind words before the contest. Thanks for the Like. This time in the competition, the points were enough for the silver medal. When I compare my boat with La Renomee by the Czech modeler Pavel Brablc, I have to agree.👌 Hats off to his extensive hand embellishment and detailing. Well 22 years of work.. I have to say that the visitors liked the ship..😃 Here is a link to photos from the contest. https://www.olesnica24.com/galeria/1405,mistrzostwa-polski-i-mistrzostwa-czech-wystawowych-modeli-redukcyjnych-statkow-i-okretow-klas-c-w-olesnicy

    Thank you very much Hubacs Historian, thank you for the like.. I studied the patina of a strong shining gold color, I darkened the stand so that it was not prettier than the ship.. The model is ready for the competition in Poland..

  12. Ondras71
    I tip my hat. Especially for the beautiful work without machinery!
  13. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like.. The emblem is ready.. ..and placed on the mirror.. Next job - a big flag on the stern

    Greetings Valeriy for the next construction. I will be very happy to watch.🔥 Ondras

    Thanks for the like.. Thus, the parts of the emblem are hardened by heat. Just the color..🔥 Completely finished poop deck railing..💥
  16. Ondras71
    I patinated and glued the ornament, the back rail glued..👌 Another fight with the modurit and completing the emblem on the mirror.. I've been studying the Doris threads to work with modurite. It's hard to find, so I'll put a link here for a better search.. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&p=2259964&hilit=modelování+výzdoby+se+věnuji+již#p2259964 I will allow myself a short message that I contacted Doris, she is fine, but she has put the models away for now..

    Thank you Johnny. I prefer to use a replica of an older Duyfken ship as a model. I really envy your participation in the construction of Kalmar Nyckel🔥💥

    Thank you very much Kirill, thank you for the like.. I have repeatedly studied Doris' threads on working with modurite matter. Yes, it's alchemy, it either flows or it breaks.. I was looking for the perfect shape in a book.. According to Doris, he only fired the basic shape..😴 Then he added the little things that always damaged the foundation. Much better after repeated firing and spraying.. During the fight with modurite, I started making the emblem for the rearview mirror..🤨

    Hello Jano. Glad to see you keep building. I will definitely follow, your models are original.. Ondras
  20. Ondras71
    I started making poop deck railings.. Railing decoration. The carvings will be too small, I wouldn't make them out of wood. Production of modurit firing compound. I opened the mod from the previous President build. It is still usable after 8 years..👌 I again studied the instructions of the Czech modeler Doris Obručová for working with modurit and tried the first option.. Rollers approx. 0.6 mm... Temperature 130 degrees Celsius.. Preview, the result will be red..
  21. Ondras71
    That will be a very big hull!! I used the same build system, just prepared the top of the ribs for precise removal later so I didn't have to use too much violence.. Fingers crossed.👌

    Hello. Bending the wood should be tested so that there is not too much or too little heat. I dip and stroke with solder, still wet, otherwise the wood burns. At some point, the wood softens and behaves like rubber. You shape it, or clamp it, and it hardens into shape. I create a paper pattern with the angle of the bend, I shape accordingly. Stronger wood bends better, very weak slats collapse. Here are my observations.
  23. Ondras71
    I suggest the possibility of using medical rubber. It does not damage the wood and has strength. Can be used by wrapping around the torso. Ondras

    Thanks Patrick for another 16th century ship. I'm looking forward!! Ondras

    Hello, Alvb. I had this opinion too, but I found out that the "chains deadeyes" fitting was also above the wales. On a competition model, I try to change only complete nonsense, I leave what could have been. I found boats with chains deadeyes outside Wales. For the rigging I use the Zeehaen ship plan, here the clamping is also over Wales, there only the reinforcement continues.. On the Dutch ship replicas this clamp is also over Wales and looks good..

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.
