    The anchors, found these good looking and scaled heavy metal anchors, in nostagic design of 1900 in a Hamburg based modeling web shob. The parts are of castings and have to be deburred, the vertical bar and the hole in the spike-base have to be reworked a little larger, I`m glad I found them, love that nostalgic look with the long spikes. Two will go at the bow, one at stern and two in the spare anchor supports on the forecastle deck Nils

    Thank you Nenad, you`re right with the hinges, they are made from 0,6mm brass wire, and soldered in 0,6mm drilled holes, the plates are 6 x 5 mm and 0,5 mm thick brass plates Nils

    Bill, that really is a very impressive model, and the sideboard below is just long enough for the distribution glass-case, Well done Nils

    HI David, the hull above the waterline will be in dull black resp. anthrazit (charcoal, dark Grey), including These doors.. Nils

    phantastic Work Albert, like a visit in the 1797 shipyard. Your framing and joining work is 1A, and the wooden composition (tones) of decks and timber work is super Well done Nils

    very nice planking Job Ed, Nils

    only a small update today... soldering the 14 ea. port side coalport doors, the starboard ones are already mounted... Nils the holding device is of good help when soldering with the flame clean surfaces, the right amount of flux and careful, steady heating up provides a good joint all 14 doors done, a cleaning with aceton shall follow next

    Beautiful deck ballastrades and staircases Dimitris, guess you are now gathering all your Fitting out parts, deckhouses, etc. in your collection box with ready parts... Nils

    Thank you very much Bob, Dimitris and Dan, For appreciations and comments as well as all the "likes"... Bob, thanks Bob, there are some mis-alignment borings, that moved out a bit, which were obviously not able to be prevented whilst drilling (except with a not existing jig tool). Hopefully I`ll do better on the other hull side Dimitris, I also used RB portholes on my Pamir and Gorch Fock, a good source choise. They shall look fine on your AV Dan, with Jan`s help (identifying one of the appropriate Frames, showing the way of opening for the coalports) I could put the hinges on the top side. Yes, the "hinges" are soft soldered, and then glued on to the hull skin Nils

    Hello Paul, I just drilled the portholes (not all yet) for the KWdG, and think now I know what you meant with ".. the worst nightmare for us modelers...", and why you recommended to make and use a jig tool for doing so. Although I was utmost careful with the drilling ( no Jig used ) there were some that fell a little bit out of the alignment. For the first upper two rows I will try to mount "eyebrows", also here your comment of the last chance to get the optic a little better are still well in my mind As I`m using the porthole inserts without flanges on the outer hull skin, I wo`nt be able to file the holes a little oval in the right direction, in that case there could have been a covering of the "oval hole" by the flange to a certain degree Nils it is important to cut a clean hole through the metal plating foil before the wooden planking is carefully drilled through. it gets tricky if the drill partialy hits a frame or a stringer inside the hull. This must be avoided by check before the hole-positions are marked for the alignment at bow and stern there is a bit of vertical offset acc to the drawing and the museum model shown and built by others earlier in this log there are 14 coalports on each side, in the largest coal bunker areas there will be no portholes on the lower porthole level. The upper side-portholes just below the promenade deck are neighther plated nor drilled yet, because the deck must be put on first.

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.
