    All that remains is to collect everything.
  2. KORTES
    Some aiming details.
  3. KORTES
    I ve prepared and blackened the barrels- some of them had to be refined, as there were some small defects from the moulding.

    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.

    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.

    Its just a fitting at this step.

    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.

    I need to blacken the metal and assemble.The carronades will have to be refined due to some mistakes in dimensions.

    Lately , i dont have much free time. The work on the shipyard is going slow. Several shots of the work on the carronade carriage.

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. KORTES
    The oil has dried out. Color in natural light.
  15. KORTES
    Yes, a very beautiful hull.
  16. KORTES
    Basically, I have finished the longboat. I don’t see the point in further detalisation. There will anyway be a boat on top. I didn’t do the the rudder as well, because I don’t have to install it anyway. All that’s left is to cover it with oil.
  17. KORTES
    Unfortunately I couldnt use the boards the second time. Maybe they will come in handy for the covering of a small lifeboat.
  18. KORTES
    I went back to the old technology. And got the expected result. Now the filling has to be done.
  19. KORTES
    I made a technological mistake and here is the result. I will have to try again.🙂 Meanwhile I am tuning the Proxxon circular saw, a gift for the New Year. Some components are very crude and require some changes. My best regards
  20. KORTES
    The first option went to the trash can. The form seems to be sheathed well, but it’s impossible to remove the shell. Something hasn’t been done fully probably. Apparently I will have to remake the form, and make it from three parts that can be disassembled.
  21. KORTES
    While the oil is drying out, I decided to start with the boat and longboat. I made two “pieces” and now deciding which manufacturing method to choose.
  22. KORTES
    As expected, the wood has changed color, the complete drying out , will be in two weeks, I guess
  23. KORTES
    I have coated the deck and deck elements with oil.
  24. KORTES
    The bollards were quite challenging to make. I tried several options until I found the right installation method.
  25. KORTES
    I have built shelves for storing cannonballs. I will use balls from bearings as cannonballs, I bought two sizes for carronades and for cannons. After blackening they look quite 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.
