    The minimum diameter of thread was 0,32mm that i got from the material i had, this was the one that I used for the ratlines. I binded using the simple pattern.

    Greetings, Rob Thank you so much. I have always had a profound respect for the modelists who work in a small scale. I think its a very special category of people. You are right, such a detailing is really on the verge of comrehension. It requires special vision, skills and instruments. My best regards.

    Thank you, dear Dave for such a high evaluation of my work. I was also studying on the works of such outstandings Masters Dmitriy Shevelev, Mihail Bezverhiy, Sergey Bykov, Igor Kapinos, Aleksey Baranov and many others, whose level of mastery is unattainable for me. But the attempt to reach even for a little their level of mastery gives the possibility to grow. You are right - if one has the feeling of dissatisfaction, then one has to try to remake the knot or the work, in some cases I had more than three of such attempts. My best regards, Alexander.

    Greetings, Mark. You're right. In fact, in the first version, the chain was longer, but sagging did not look very aesthetic and I removed one link. I would now remake this knot. Chain links needed to be made smaller - in that case everything would work out. BUT, in my defense, I can say that the length of the chain does not interfere with the turn of the control blade, I have checked that.

    I’ve made the winding of control blade.

    Thank you very much dear Keith.

    I’ve installed the quarter boat in place.

    Thank you very much, Gary, Yes, You are right, its sometimes hard to decide to do such remakings. But, I guess at that time I was in this kind of mood so I decided to remake. But at the end, You are right, remakings are hardly noticable to an unaided eye, and for many remains incomprehensible. Can be noticed and evaluated only by our colleagues - model makers. My best regards.

    Thank you very much Johann.

    Greetings, Andrey. I;m very glad to see You and Your amazing work on the forum. My best regards.

    Much to my regret I had to redo all the rigging, which was already installed, except for jackstay of foremast , which, as it turned out ,had the right winding on. I put a bit of tone on the turnbuckles of the shrouds, although to my point of view they looked better before. I won’t post many photos, as nothing had changed except for the winding on of the cable.

    After a very constructive critics regarding the direction of the winding, I spent 2 days on the making new ropes with the right winding. Alexander (Beliy) has explained really well the difference and the reasons for the established tradition, I quote: The rope of cabling winding is inweaved out of 3 ordinary ropes, and if those ropes are laid in a clockwise direction, than the rope of cabling can be made ONLY counter clock wise. The standard of winding was created for a reason, the ropes of two windings cannot be laced together, because they will unwind each other, and the the ropes winded counter clock wise dont hold the knots. That is the reason the running rigging is clock wise, and vangs, jackstays, anchor cable - counter clock wise. While I was winding the anchoring cable I clearly verified this rule - if winding is made in the wrong direction the component ropes will simply unwind.

    Little by little the riggings are being assembled as well.
  15. KORTES
    I have assembled a fore sail.
  16. KORTES
    Thank you very much dear Colleagues.
  17. KORTES
    Such a long and thorough preparation has given the result of an amazing quality. Bravo. My best regards.
  18. KORTES
    This is an outstanding work on toning the wood.
  19. KORTES
    Installing deck equipment. I’ve tied round a carronade and tied camboose.

    Thank you Yves and Johann for such a high evaluation of my work. The pear tree has turned this color with time, after being coated with tung-oil. My best regards.
  21. KORTES
    After consideration, I chose the following option. As a result, the quarter boat came forward - there will be enough room for the furnace.

    Installing jackstay. I had lots of questions regarding the fastening. I’ve studied the works of the Masters who had built “La Jacinthe”, everyone made the knot his own way. I decided to make it with the possibility of covering.
  24. KORTES
    Thank you very much, Johann.
  25. KORTES
    Have made the blocks . I still have to cover the riggings and finishing setting the ropes .

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.
