    Nice work!

    Awesome work!

    16” guns at point blank range! 😃

    As stated before, I am using Zu Monfeld’s method of building ship’s boats. I have made the molds and the templates of the gunwales. Next I need to make some frames and then the keels/rudders, before I plank the boats with 3mm (1/8”) wide strips of card.

    I cut out and fitted my pin rails. I double layered them, since they are card, and set them aside to dry.

    Test fitting my boat davits:

    Nicely done!

    It’s been a very educational evening. I learned how to make a hull using the bread and butter technique. I layered the hulls (the male molds anyways) for three ship’s boats. I carved them to their final shapes before sanding them smooth and labeling them to put in my bits bins for later reuse, after I am done with them. I am confident that I could scratch build a ship’s hull with the bread and butter method. I took pictures of the hull blanks in the positions of the ship’s boats, which I will begin tomorrow. They will be made IAW Zu Monfeld (just out of card). The stern boat will hang by davits, which I will also begin tomorrow.

    Anchors are rigged and finished: On to the boats. I’m going to make male molds for the 3 different types of boats that the Prince de Neufchatel carried, and build the boat’s frames, keel and planking upside down. The molds will be made bread and butter fashion. I’m using the AOTS for the Victory, due to the time period and similarity between American and British Naval equipment, as my source.

    The anchors are installed. I need to finish rigging them. I already made the blocks for them.
  31. GrandpaPhil
    All guns are rigged: Anchors are ready to install.
  32. GrandpaPhil
    Thank you, Mark!
  33. GrandpaPhil
    Long guns rigged: The rigging is simplified due to scale and room.
  34. GrandpaPhil
    Breeching ropes installed:

    Have at it! I’m looking forward to the build log!

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 provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model shipcraft.

The Nautical Research Guild puts on ship modeling seminars, yearly conferences, and juried competitions. We publish books on ship modeling techniques as well as our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, whose pages are full of articles by master ship modelers who show you how they build those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you what details to build.
