  4. KORTES
    Elimination of discrepancies.

    Greetings, dear Johann, thank You very much for Your attention to my work and Your constructive remark. You are right, i remeasured the wheels and saw that theres a descrepency in proportions. I'm now working on its improvement. Ive made different wheels, apart from that i remade rear carriages of gun carriages. My very best regards
  6. KORTES
    In the end.
  7. KORTES
    Then , the blackening and assembly.
  8. KORTES
    Ialso decided to weld the eyelets instead of bending them.
  9. KORTES
    I spent a lot of time working on the fasteners for the gun trunnions, if I understand correctly they are called capsguare. Ive also made a stamp and some tools. After some unsuccessful attempts, i finally achieved what i wanted.
  10. KORTES
    I made the cheeks of the carriages using a well-known technology, gluing them into a pack. The wheels are made using a grinding wheel.
  11. KORTES
    I would like to show the manufacture of gun carriages.
  12. KORTES
    All that remains is to collect everything.
  13. KORTES
    Some aiming details.
  14. KORTES
    I ve prepared and blackened the barrels- some of them had to be refined, as there were some small defects from the moulding.
  15. KORTES
    My greetings, dear Johann. My work on the corronades was based mainly on Your Masterclass on the carronades creation. I have never seen a more detailed and informative report. Concerning the constructio n I ve payed attention that the upper, movable part of the gun carriage is thinner than the lower part, so i made it like this ,but i did not know that it has trapezoidal shape. Im very grateful to You for such a valuable information ! I will definitely know that for the future. But these gun carriages will be left as they are, moreover that in my case the inclination will be of the size of a fraction of mm. Please, allow mw to express my gratitude to You for the information, its an honor for me that You as a Maître of such a level paid attention to my work. My very best regards

    I found some time for the artillery. I oil coated it, and installed the parts of the corronades lafets.
  17. KORTES
    Another amazing masterpiece of the outstanding Maître ! Im very glad to have had the possibility to contemplate the creation of this incredible masterpiece. My congratulations! Wish You inspiration in the next projects. My very best regards.
  18. KORTES
    Its just a fitting at this step.
  19. KORTES
    Unfortunately, I got the artillery with a shortage, there were no trunnions for the carronades. I had to make it myself. The main difficulty was producing a large number of identical parts. Since I don’t have enough metalworking equipment, I had to use wood.I made it from black hornbeam which took me some attemps. I deliberately made it simplified, on my scale and with my “machinery park” - I think this is acceptable.
  20. KORTES
    I need to blacken the metal and assemble.The carronades will have to be refined due to some mistakes in dimensions.
  21. KORTES
    Lately , i dont have much free time. The work on the shipyard is going slow. Several shots of the work on the carronade carriage.
  22. KORTES
    Dear Ron its with great interest that i visited Your page. Wonderful, outstanding work. Thank You very much for sharing your technology, i have found a lot of interesting for myself , which i would implement in my work in the future. Wish You inspiration in Your further work. My very best regards, Alexander

    I have coated the boat with oil and made a slipway. Once assembled, it turned out to look like this. Macro photography revealed some disadvantages, but in the future I will eliminate them.
  24. KORTES
    In general I have completed work on the small boat. On the drawing it comes without metal fastenings for the mast, after some thought I decided to do it as on the drawing. What is left to do is to cover it with oil, make two slipways and install it inside the longboat.
  25. KORTES
    The oil has dried out. Color in natural light.

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.
