    Joe, of course, this method simplifies and facilitates the installation of frames. With regard to the twisted keel, it is still easier to prevent this from twisting than correcting it later. According to this technology, the casing is impregnated with epoxy resin and a large shrinkage of the resin occurs during drying. So she leads to twisting deformations. Using the two halves of the model can be guaranteed to avoid such deformations.

    Eberhard, with great pleasure, I looked through your entire log. Your work on the metal above all praise. With great interest, I look forward to your continuation.

    Druxey, thank! I use a variety of soldering irons from 30 to 100 watts
  4. Valeriy V
    Thank! Semicircle radius 0.6 mm

    Installation of sponsons on the hull.
  8. Valeriy V
    Sponsons for 152 mm guns.

    Deck aft housing. Since the deck has round of beams I had to solder housing directly on the deck. Housing frame assembled

    Dear Alexander , thank you very much! I admit that I am very embarrassed by your high appreciation. I hope that my further work on Varyag will not disappoint you. With my admiration for your work on the Boeir Yacht Valeriy.

    Chris you're right, it was hard to do. It’s like cutting yourself. But the wound heals quickly ...

    Three casemates took their places.
  13. Valeriy V
    Thanks, Ondras!
  14. Valeriy V
    Thank you, Nils! I try to solder the parts carefully, so as not to waste time cleaning the tin.

    I insert a casemate in his place. The arrow indicates the lower contour of the casemate for soldering.
  16. Valeriy V
    Thank you aviaamator! I continue ... Casemate is collected separately.
  17. Valeriy V
    After installing the template, I can transfer it to the metal. Fix it with screws.
  18. Valeriy V
    Install the base casemate template.
  19. Valeriy V
    It's time for nasal casemates. The first step is to cut the hull.
  20. Valeriy V
    This is amazing! Doris, you have golden hands!
  21. Valeriy V
    This is a great solution, Steve! Creating a template in this way will greatly facilitate the work. I will remember this method for myself.

    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.

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.
