    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..
  2. Ondras71
    I tip my hat! Beautiful work. Like alive!!
  3. Ondras71
    Thank you for the like.. "Mast rails" are created on the stumps of the masts..👌 All attachment points including Pins done..🔥💥

    Nice to see you back in full Paryzek work. Great job!! Ondras

    Thank you very much Todd, thank you for the like.. Continuation of the big flag on the stern..

    I tip my hat. Especially for the beautiful work without machinery!

    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..💥

    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

    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..
  15. 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.
  17. 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..
  20. Ondras71
    Thank you very much everyone! Deadeyes fittings for besan made of wire 0.4 mm.. I ran into another stupidity in the plan. From a layman's point of view, deadeyes cannot be placed directly on wales. The ropes would break against the broad stern.. I measured the width of the channels.. Channels again secured with steel pins.. Deadeyes attached to the hull..
  21. Ondras71
    White glue Pattex D2, hardening time 4 min. Dissolves with heat and water..👌
  22. Ondras71
    I made the last two sizes of small 4mm wide deadeyes. Again, a system of glued plates and machining at once.. Created a tool for a milling cutter for the production of a 0.4 mm side groove.. All deadeyes after waxing.. I wish everyone a lot of success in the new year 2023, a lot of peace in modeling and, above all, health!
  23. Ondras71
    Hello again Valeriy. It was a very beautiful series. Your ship is one of the models I would like to see in person!!
  24. Ondras71
    Thank you so much Scrubbyj. Thanks for the like Finally, clamping deadeyes called "chains deadeyes" on the main mast.. General view.. Now I have small deadeyes waiting for me on the mizzen mast..
  25. Ondras71
    I gradually make deadeyes clamps called "chains deadeyes". Unfortunately, each piece is a different length.. The first foremast... Placed guport lids are a big risk, I have already repaired..😭

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.
