    Thank you very much Patrick!! I lined the back deck with lapped boards.. Deck with gratings ground.. Deck sanded.. View below the rear deck..

    Thank you for the like! I made blocks for cannon hoists. Training kept under deck.. Hoists .. Cannons arranged and placed in the transport position..👍 Glued grating, these I have to grind with the deck, to this created a "box" that prevents contamination of works.. The base of the aft deck..

    I'm learning to work with a ropewalk. It's really about testing. Catch weight weights and skill.. The first ropes and anchor cable Gutermann ..💥 First I have to create ropes for the cannons, which will already be placed under the aft deck. I study in detail and only now do I understand that the "rope" is braided only once from 3x32 threads .. Then the anchor "cable" is braided from three prepared ropes.. After the first twisted ropes, I confirmed that the Dutch ships had, against the English, all the ropes turned to transport, even stays. This is confirmed in publications by Ab Hoving, such as "The Ships of Abel Tasman" and on replicas of Batavia and Duyfken..😱 So I used the table of the Czech modeler marsalva, to whom I would like to thank very much for the information, because the system dropped my trial and I don't have to invent the invented ones, For a 3x1 rope, which is braided from three clockwise threads, the threads must first be turned to the left, elongated by 3.6 percent and then pre-spun to the left to form a clockwise thread. During this, I ran the threads several times between my fingers and the resulting cable, which is more hairy, went through the flame of the candle and the resulting cable P 3x1 with a thickness of 0.37 mm is great !!💯

    After a week's sick leave, I finally completed my ropewalk. I only bought the Czech "Merkur" set with wheels and a motor, the others are various remains, the other side is still driven by a cordless drill .. It works ..🛠️ After a short training "IT" really creates ropes !! So far, I'm training on the remnants of threads ..💥

    Thank you very much for the nice words. I try to reach the maximum, it's slow. Ondras Fittings finished, next time I'd rather create etched parts, this is hard work.. To be on the safe side, I provided the bottoms of the wheels with pin holes for a firm placement on the deck.. Cannons on the main deck done..👍

    Cannon trucks folded, complete with side fittings, waxed.. Test of cannons on the upper deck..
  7. Ondras71
    I measured Dutch artillery trucks.. Production of artillery trucks.. Artillery trucks folded .. Ready material for ropewalk..
  8. Ondras71
    Thank you for the like..👍 I finished the cannon barrels on the upper deck. They have been ready for 2.5 years...😱 I placed Large staghorn and Level blocks on the main deck..
  9. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like!👍 The lower capstan is glued.. I finished the upper capstan and added a rope pulley to the Halyard knighthead post against the plan Main top rope.. Before gluing the deck beams, I adjusted the visible places at the holes on them, the grating do not have a scale force.. I also create Large staghorn and Kevel blocks, these are completed according to Zehaen's plan.. Rear grating shaped ..

    From the beginning, I thought he would hardly see under the aft deck. Despite the wide grating, there will be a lot to see there. That's why I decided to supplement the knee padding. I didn't like the first attempt with colored dots .. It forced me to drill and place metal.. I add underdecks, cannonball boxes.. The Dutch double deck also has them on the open deck.. I also think about stone balls of the right caliber.. And Capstan production. Simplified under deck..
  11. Ondras71
    Drilled holes for hinge hooks. The blankets of the shooting ranges are kept, I will place them at the end of the construction.. And I used the week of incapacity for work to progress in the construction..😱 Previously prepared gratings for the aft deck were shaped.. And according to them, deck beams are created.. And added previously prepared knees.. And now I have to fill the lower deck and close the deck..
  12. Ondras71
    Thank you very much friends. I'm just trying to look at someone else's job and deal with it.😎 Hooks for goal hinges. Tube 1 / 0.2 and nails 0.5 mm. Very small ..😱 Parts folded and soldered .. The hooks turned out well.. I have already received yarn for knitting ropes, so the production of ropewalk awaits me, I am already studying instructions on how to knit..🛠️ I ordered other light shades for the test, which will be the best...
  13. Ondras71
    I equipped the hatches with hinge caps. From the waste, I created an imitation of a loophole with a pitch of hanging eyes..🛠️ Drilled and nailed with homemade 0.5 mm wire nails. Surface waxed..
  14. Ondras71
    I thank everyone for the like..😇 I hung the rudder... Further work hinges on loopholes. Previously ground from 0.2 sheet and now soldered 1 / 0.2 tube..
  15. Ondras71
    So in the end, the rudder hinges, which I made from a weak material, were damaged by the acid so that they could not be used, they softened completely.. I made new 0.3 mm thick sheet metal and 1.3 / 0.2 tubes.. Extra work, but in the end the hinges are 100% better than the first..👌 Rudder hinges placed..
  16. Ondras71
    I created the posts of the stand .. Temporary struts are left for further construction to prevent movement to the sides.. And finally, the handrail of the balcony railing .. waxed ..
  17. Ondras71
    Thank you so much Roger.. I thank everyone for the like..😇 I want to finish the rudder before placing the model on the final stand. After a longer time of soldering hinges .. Ready for cleaning and blackening.. I found that cleaning with nitric acid must be done carefully, 0.2 mm sheet metal and tubes with a wall of 0.1 mm are terribly tricky, especially the tubes can be quickly etched by acid .. I had to replace one..😱
  18. Ondras71
    Thank you so much Backer.. I thank everyone for the like..😇 Balcony railing glued.. During drying, I stuck a lion statue firmly.. ..and began manufacturing the rudder.. Finished railing waxed, only a handrail..
  19. Ondras71
    Thank you so much taby.. I thank everyone for the like..😇 Dark wood posts. When milling with white glue, it is glued to the board and then soaked.. Construction glued to the template.. Railing dry located..
  20. Ondras71
    Thank you so much Backer. I thank everyone for the like..😇 I continue to shape the balcony railing on a template made of waste..🛠️ Now it's time for the dark wood posts..😴
  21. Ondras71
    Hello. I carved the guide rail on a FET saw according to Andrej Kudin. 2x 45 degrees, then an octagon is created on it..👌
  22. Ondras71
    Galion completed .. After waxing..🎨 And with a statue.. Another job is the balcony railing. I'm slowly creating a 3D shape on a template..🛠️
  23. Ondras71
    Greetings Bryantes. A clever start with a small boat and then a bigger building.I keep my fingers crossed for a start.
  24. Ondras71
    I reinforced the fragile cracked rails with pins.. I patinated the lion statues and other wooden ornaments, heads and cutters. All oil paint..🎨 I continue on the galion..😵
  25. Ondras71
    I wish everyone a lot of success until the new year 2022, peace of mind modeling and especially health!

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.
