    I am glad to welcome everyone! I continue my work on the model of the cargo steamer. I made a little more than 60 parts for the windlass and now I show in the photo their test assembly together. Windlass foundation.

    Phil, if you haven't made a final decision on the planking option for your ship, I suggest you consider my option. I recently used it instead of diagonal planking as an experiment, and was pleasantly surprised by the result. - plywood thickness for frames - 6 mm - ash veneer thickness for side planking sheets - 1 mm Ash veneer fibers must be placed along the length of the hull, and then it will tightly fit the frame contour without internal stress. The strength of ash allows for a minimum veneer thickness of 0.8-1 mm. The hull will then be covered with a layer of fiberglass and resin. This method is not suitable for a floating model, as the hull will be heavy, but it is quite applicable for a static model.

    Perhaps this photo will be of some use to you.

    Melissa, your hands create miracles! It is possible that the pipe in your photo is the ventilation of the interior spaces, raised above the deck level to prevent it from being flooded with water.

    You are absolutely right, Phil! The style of model building I use (which dates back to the early 20th century) allows me to depict any nondescript boat as a pleasure yacht.

    Phil, your stories are no less interesting than building a model! I will watch your work with interest. Will your model float on water?

    The general appearance of the model so far looks like this.

    Now let's look at the spar deck from the forward corners.

    Thank you all for your kind words and comments and likes! I continue to work on the details of the steamship model. The photo shows the process of installing the guard rails on the spar deck.

    I greet everyone and continue to build a model of a steamship. A water tank to create water pressure in the water supply system.

    Nils! I don't have a final decision on the boats yet. I have some thoughts on this, but I need to experiment first.
  17. Valeriy V
    Thank you, Tony! I try as best I can. There are few parts on the spar deck yet, there will be about twice as many of them.
  18. Valeriy V
    No, Yves. This is one pintle.
  19. Valeriy V
    Some parts are put together.
  20. Valeriy V
    Keith, these are beautiful, elegant lines hull!! You know how to choose prototypes for your models!
  21. Valeriy V
    Thanks Gary! The ladders are soldered on a simple device that is easy to make precise on a milling machine.
  22. Valeriy V
    Thank you, Nils! I make glass for portholes using the old proven method. These are plexiglass cylinders that are polished at the ends until completely transparent.
  23. Valeriy V
    Gary, you never cease to amaze! Great process! 👌👍
  24. Valeriy V
    Skylights.
  25. Valeriy V
    I welcome everyone! The number of parts on the model has been increased. Gangways.

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.
