    The cleats correspond geometrically to the small cleats on the wreck. As I don't trust glued cleats, I will also secure them with a bolt. The 3mm rollers will be installed in the crane beams, mast cradles and the fixed snatch blocks on the railing. According to the wreck, La Belle only had wooden sheaves and axles. Before installation, the parts are cleaned again, the cleats rounded, etc.

    I've created a suction adapter for the Proxxon DH40. It can be downloaded from my website and printed out yourself. The diameters have been increased by 0.2 mm so that the tube can be fitted without any problems. https://www.olivers-historic-shipyard.com/

    I spent the last days before the well-deserved summer holiday making new clamps. Unfortunately, due to the narrow frame spacing incl. bolt heads, I could no longer use my clamps from the La Belle. So new ones were needed. With the focus on subsequent projects, I oversized them a lot. I could now also build a Valmy in 1/48 with them (actually a nice project). I will also make new clamps for the bow area. But there I will copy the La Belle principle 1:1, because they worked great there. I will show this in detail when it is ready.

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.
