    George..... I'm here to watch......Coming from you this is going to be interesting. Your discipline and intellectual curiosity take me to next level.
  2. Schrader
    How are you going to solve the bow/stern curves?
  3. Schrader
    It is unbelievably. But for the scale we have to work, that would be “impossible”. But take a look about the frames they are not precise...... they just are made to keep the form and give the hull the strength it needs. this is really valuable information for my project. I hope you don’t mind if I use it. As you can see in my Egyptian, I’m trying to replicate the way those ships were built. Thanks a lot

    Hello..... Having in my mind to have one Viking after having one Egyptian..... Take a look of this picture..... is a recreation of the Viking shipyard.... You will see how they just put the frames once the ship is started.....The frames are made after all to adjust to the real shape of the clinker hull

    Dioramas are really the "next" step for us. Go ahead!!!! but just keep in mind...... Dioramas never end we have to abandon them 😀😀😀

    Thanks Lou I agree completely. A couple of fitting elements and I think I am ready To start with the external hull. This is going to give a total different external look let’s see
  8. Schrader
    Let’s keep going with the advances..... I’ve been working in the deck. The central zone will be full removable and I have done just half of it. It will allow all the hull sewed been sewing....... It is sewed also.... at the same time I’ve working in the bow and stern deck but these are just “presented” since I need to work in the external hull, finish the hull sewing... And then they will be fixed/sewed. Take look how it is looking so far.....

    Thanks Pat

    Now we are talking!!!!! Really good decision. We all have been to the same “process”. Good job
  11. Schrader
    Some pictures with advances..... It has the must of the beams and the mast “support”, when it is not with sail..... SO FAR!!!!! JUST GLUE IN THE HULL!!!! ALL THE ELEMENTS HAVBE BEEN TIED UP. ....😀
  12. Schrader
    Let’s keep going.... The little “columns” that fix the girder to the hull through the frames are in place..... The poles for the hugging-truss and mast raising system are in place... I started to fix the beams to the hull...... they are supported by the girder and tied to the hull.... We are going to install first these beams.....they are the “end” of each deck section.... Same thing with the bow pole with the “eye of Horus” ........
  13. Schrader
    In the real life the planks had some “V” channels internally. They were so thick ...... there were no doble planking. This is only for “model construction “ purposes, since the scale is not allowing to make those “v” channels..... in other books they mention that they put papyrus and animal grease in the joints

    Thank a lot Pat people following this log is forcing me to do a job that keep their attention on it i’ll do my best
  15. Schrader
    I want to give an update...... Let’s keep in mind this “famous” picture.... It is time to start with the central beam or girder .... according with the investigation this is the equivalent to the keel. It is its predecessor..... it was among the Hugging-Truss, the elements that kept the hull with this form and gave to it the strength..... In this case, the beam was convex and in order to give it the right form I needed to tie it up to the hull. Thanks to God I had a lot of holes to do it.... 😀 I did it before the deck beams. It gave me the “exact” position for them..... They have a little holes in both ends, that is the way they wil be tied to the hull..... Also the Bow-Stern “poles are made..... I choose different wood in order to “kill” a little bit the monotony.....
  16. Schrader
    Any way you are more than welcome to come back!!!!!
  17. Schrader
    Is a process with a lot of try and error...... I use to repeat all those pieces that at the end I don’t feel “good” with. That’s why some times I take a long time to make posts. But thanks a lot for being in the bench. Let’s see how this adventure is going to “THE END” 😀
  18. Schrader
    What a quality job!!!! I am really impressed. This is other that is in my Santa Claus wish list.
  19. Schrader
    Let’s continue with our project..... To finish the sewed process in the hull, we need to fix the “skates” that will receive the mast...... And.... the mast....
  20. Schrader
    Your ideas and investigation have helped me a lot. thanks George.
  21. Schrader
    Good Job and really well illustrated. I’ll follow from now for iron nails you can use sewing pins and blued Let me show you a picture
  22. Schrader
    Thanks!!!!
  23. Schrader
    Let’s see the backside of the hull..... there we can see the idea I was trying to explain
  24. Schrader
    Really It was not just my idea. Vladimir Herrero made de Cheops barge some years ago. He had the same idea. I just took it and improved a little ..... build first the inner hull finally no channels. I put some reinforcements that made two functions.... reinforce and “channel” thanks a lot for your kind words
  25. Schrader
    Now.... all the frames in their places........ planks being sewed...

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.
