    Hi Wefalk . Thanks for your rating. And answer your question. This screw-well by Russian ship builders was called "a deadwood window". At the beginning of the 20th century in the Russian fleet it was believed that this window improves turning effect of the ship. This window was made on many large warships. For example, on the battleship Retvizan, the cruiser Varyag, on five battleships of the Borodino type. However, this window did not always help. On five battleships of the Borodino type with the steady turn of the ship there was a big snap roll. Therefore, the windows were forced to close. No such effect was observed on Varyag.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi Steve. In this situation, I used the services of 3-D scanning, but my details were much smaller. The second option is to make templates for frames for a given space. Then scan these templates.

    Always glad to help you to the best of your ability.

    Nice photo of Rickmer Rickmers! Tell me please, the hulls of the steamboats of the Rickmers series built in 1914-1923 were also green? I am interested in these ships.

    Nils, you can try to show the head of the rivet with a tube of the desired diameter with sharp edges. But an experiment is needed.

    I cut the vertical joints on the hull of the boat with a sharp knife blade along the ruler.

    Good question, Nils! Here is the table of the German Lloyd, the diameters of the rivets, depending on the thickness of the sheet. Probably, the data of English Lloyd are not very different. It turns out that the size of the heads of the rivets in the range of 15-45 mm. In my opinion, showing the size of the heads of rivets on a scale of 1: 100 1:75 does not make sense. If the diameter of the rivet heads is shown correctly, they become almost invisible by 0.15-0.6 mm. On Varyag all the heads of the rivets were not visible, option "C".

    Thank you, mmdd. I will use your help.

    Hi, Nils! Thanks for the feedback. This method has long been used by ship modelers from the former Soviet Union.

    The result after grinding on the photo:

    When grinding the body, I control the thickness of the strakes. With the help of a plate thickness of 0.25-0.3 mm.
  15. Valeriy V
    Then I cover the hull with a liquid putty for cars. Removing camouflage tape and I get the result on the photo:

    Marking on the hull, using masking tape.

    The continuation of the construction .... Side strakes.

    Nils, you have a nice and cozy workshop!
  19. Valeriy V
    Nils, great job! The crew on the deck greatly enhances the impression, so that the model comes to life. What is your next project that will be built at your shipyard?
  20. Valeriy V
    Thanks Nils! Ahead nasal casemates, they are much more complicated.
  21. Valeriy V
    Hello Joachim! I would be glad if you join. We will build models together and then there will be more metal ships on the forum. Iltis II interesting and original ship.
  22. Valeriy V
    On the right side of the ship, the casemate is shown open.
  23. Valeriy V
    Thanks Phil! Stern casemate for 75 mm guns....
  24. Valeriy V
    Yes, in the history there was such a period of courtesy between Germany and Russia. But credit debts attracted Nicky to the Anglo-French side. Things could have happened differently if Willy were more persistent .... More photos from the same series.

    Большое спасибо. Many thanks!

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.
