    I have finished the nailing of the broadsides. I opted for the brass of 0,6 mm, and tried to make the nail-heads a little dome shaped.

    I installed the shroud pads.

    Control blade.

    Dear colleagues Paul and Gary thank you very much.

    I had to take my time, the profile is rather difficult to make. After molding the profile I left a small width margin and made the final refinements after gluing it, already in place.

    Now, the same procedure with the hornbeam.

    I would like to present my attempts in making cap rail taffrail. I waited a long time to approach it, finding the right technology, finally setting for the plank bending with further refining. To start, I had to prepare a pattern, and as I had to bend the lath with a big margin(the original size 1,5:22 mm), I had to make reinforced fixators. I have made two samples, refining them while adjusting them in place.

    Dear Michael and Keith I’m very touched by your attention to my work.

    Here is the after body of the cap rail.
  17. KORTES
    Cap rail fore body. Material - black hornbeam, after installing, I fixed it in place with 0,6 mm brass nails.
  18. KORTES
    Now it’s time to make cap rail and waterways. I bent it after putting under steam, using a pattern. After fixation i dried it using a hot air gun - it speeds up the process.
  19. KORTES
    Thank you very much dear Keith.
  20. KORTES
    Top timbers are installed.
  21. KORTES
    I have constructed the bulwarks.
  22. KORTES
    Your handicraft is truly amazing!
  23. KORTES
    I have refined the taffrail a bit.
  24. KORTES
    Basically I’ve finished nailing. I finally got around to overhang. It is painted, taffrail is covered with pear tree and black hornbeam. I made it with a small margin, when the enclosures are set I will finish the taffrail.

    Thank you very much my dear colleagues. Dear Michael. I have a pause in building "SPERWER" - I'm making sails. That's why I decided to show on the forum my last finished work Unfortunately I don't belong to the masters who work quickly. Once, I have apent two weeks of my vacation to make nailing.

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.
