    Its not magic. Only a simple construction with profiles.

    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.

    After a sabbatical year, the work on Redoutable continues. I replaced my big tablesaw for a bandsaw and i did some modifications in my lightsystem to get more light in the middle of the ship. On the CAD i added a lot of deckdetails, now i work on the riders to check the points on the keelson. On the model i added 58 fillingpieces with drainingholes. Every one is a individual part for a individual place. I shaped the portside and starbordside of the innerhull, the starboardside looks very good, the portside maybe 85%. Next step will be the keelson.

    @Kranck Sorry, i was offline from the shipbuilding for a time. I use this milling machine. Its a self-made combination because in my eyes there is no milling machine in the market for our type of work. The MF70 is a very good machine, but with limitations. But for small parts it´s a good choice. The same is with the Unimat. If you work on bigger projects, you will run as well in limitations.

    Danke, Tobi ! Arrived from France today the Dossiers from Capitaine Lucas (Redoutable), Capitaine Magendie (Bucentaure) and Vice-amiral Villeneuve (Bucentaure).

    Jep. More or less small....

    Hi, No. 1, the keel, is reduced as well. No. 2, this area is as well reduced to the bottom to get the common line to the keel. No.3 is not reduced in my modell. I have there a constant thickness in the whole area in the sternpost. I´think the "line" of the rabbet should be constant if you have constant thickness from the planking. The sternpost can be reduced, but the optical benefit is to small for the work, because the gaps and angle are to small in this area. My rabbet on the Keel an the stem could be deeper and more sharper. First model and first try.... you learn a lot of things, but for the next project.

    @Kranck Thank you for your interest in my project. Maybe you can show picture of the problem. Its´more easier to locate it. I started as well some tests in Rhino but as a genetic Catia-User i choosed to use my skills in this program and to continue with it. I checked a lot of CAM-Programs, as well the products from Aspire. I can´t remember but there was some points contra and my desicion was for Deskproto. I think the fourth or fifth axis.... i dont know more. My wood i bought on ebay in Germany. The name of the seller is Holzkarle. Regards Oliver

    Yes, there a lot of tutorials on YT. I have done a course as well on Udemy. Its not hard to understand, but its hard to train to get the skill for this kind of work. My "poor" CNC-Skill is selfmade. You learn it when you do it.

    Testing to modeling and milling a ornament. Created with Blender.

    The 5th timelapse from the constrction of La Belle is now online.

    Yes, correct.

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.
