    I made cables, and i’m starting assembling the spars. I started with bowsprit, finished assembling anchor bitt and some small pieces

    I'm very glad you found my working experience interesting. My best regards.

    I’ve made a fit check, on a dry. I’ll assemble it later, with the rigging.

    Jack-pins. I found the technology of making jack-pins in the report of Uriy Kimborovich (bim), that he used for his schooner “Izmail”, for what I’m very grateful to him. I made a simple device out of the materials I had. Material - pear tree. Firstly I prepared the bars of the desired diameter, and so as not to waste too much material (for the support fixture in the collet) I was carving from a long rod, as the length of the coordinate table would allow me.

    Dear Keith, The hull of the yacht is of an amazing quality and beauty. And I think so too, that it would be a pity to hide it under the paint. I wish you inspiration in your work. My best regards.

    Before the soldering, the adjacents parts were grinded off. Afterwards - blackening and assembling.
  9. KORTES
    And then I proceed using the technology of the master-classes. I decided to solder at the big diameter, because when the dead-eye is swaged, the deformation in this area is minimal and the probability of damaging the solder is less.

    In order to make metal pieces of lashing cleat- dead eyes I have made a small rim out of a small -diameter bolt.
  11. KORTES
    I made dead eyes. I cut them from the pear tree. For the drilling I had to make one simple device.
  12. KORTES
    Thank you Keith.

    An outstanding masterpiece! My best regards, Alexander.

    Johann your handicraft is truly amazing! My best regards. Alexander.

    Here are some more elements, before final fitting and assembling. Topmast cross-trees and hoop heads, material - black hornbeam.
  16. KORTES
    Tops of the masts, bowsprit and the end of the boom were painted with printer ink.
  17. KORTES
    Basically I finished the spars. Material - pear tree and black hornbeam.
  18. KORTES
    Keith your handicraft is truly amazing! My best regards.

    I finished the hatchway lids. As the size of the elements is small I had to make a pattern out of nail.

    Thank you very much Gary.

    The ring has to be set tight on the toothpick, so it wouldnt turn around. In this case the tootpick plays a role of a "holder". In the end the thimble may be refined with a help of broaching file. The smallest elements were made out of a wire with the 0.7 diameter.
  22. KORTES
    Greetings dear Michael. Concerning the making of the thimbles. The method is not much technological, it requires a certain skill. Firstly I made rings from the wire of the required diameter. After that, i put a ring on the toothpick and using the PROXXON, with this cap, I took away the excess. All the manipulation were made using a toothpick and a ring.

    Thank you very much, Carl.

    Test assembling. Macro-filming. As usually showed some defects, which will be eliminated before the final assembling.

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.
