    Very nice looking lines on that "Fair American Jeff, you did a good planking Job, and the trick of the double dense Frame Setting within the Skin outcut is a very smart idea, well done ! Nils

    Thank you so much for your Kind words Pete - Bob - John - Lee- and all the "likes".... Pete, It all requires the time it takes, and many ideas for the continuing sequences come as I do the progress Bob, thanks for your appreciation, I`m glad you like it. I Need quite some space in hight for fitting on those "golden" ornaments to the round Stern transom, and for putting adequate portholes just under the aft deck-Counter, so I might need to increase the deckbeam hight on the aft-ship a bit John, trust the hull will be the less difficult part of this build. For all the superstructure I have`nt made any scetches or plans yet, will probably do them to suit the build sequences as they come Lee, Thanks for your words Lee, I think it may be wise to connect the upper decklines to the sides first, in order to get a better looking transition for the plating Job and when integrating the rails..... Nils

    Many thanks Patrick and Mick, and all the "like this" button activators... Patrick, Thanks for your appreciation, I took her off the board this afternoon and was delighted of the work so far, a straight symetric and light hull like it should be. All the overstanding frame hights will be removed (cut off) and the upper deck stringers put on. The slot places are integrated alrteady when I cut the frames I am including some pics of this milestone moment.... Mick, Thanks for your words ,.. For plating I shall use self-adhesive aluminium foil stripes which will be ponced from the rear side to resemble the riveting Before the plating comes on, there is still some filler application work to be done, and several semi-round rails must be attached to the ouside hull skin. removed from the board and put on the upper end-cap plank 180° around the stern. Stb aft view... stb front view view into the aft ship hull. The outcuts for the deck stringers can be seen here the "deck-beam" upper lnes are pre cut, so only the outer sides of the frames need to be cut. In this way the decks will have a positive curvature in width direction one of the three lock-nut devices for the stand`s pedestal-spindles (through the keel and anchored in the "backbone" ) removing some old hardened glue drops out of the hull

    Build log part 10 bow post and vertical stern planking put on... Nils the upper portion of the stern rounding will be horizontal planking The upper propshaft housings still need to be planked, and the whole stern area requires fairing and blending for smooth transitions afterwards the bow post (beech wood) where the plates are riveted to later on, gives the nostalgic touch to the rather sharp bow its time to take the hull off the board now....

    Patrick, reminds me a bit of the upper cabin Level of a luxurious 747 Special Fitting out for 1st class.... wonderful work Nils

    Thank you for dropping in Christian, and for your comment, you`re always welcome... Nils

    Thanks Denis, yes, I did the fairing outside under the car port, was a strong wind, that blew away the dust. Am quite pleased with my triangle vibratory sander, in appr 2 hours the sanding was done. Some of the few pits and scars in the Planks will be treated with filler Nils

    Little update.... the last plank for the hull was put on today, and the outside skin first faired with a viratory sander because due to the accumulated overload of the postworkers strike I still did`nt get that ordered spokeshave... Nils next, is to put on the bow post, straight stem and around the bend to the keel in bow area. I think I`ll take it off the "slip-way" then and plank the upper stern bulwark area vertically

    Beautiful built hull John, Framework, planking and deck look great... Nils
  10. Mirabell61
    very good Progress Per, nice and clean work.... Nils
  11. Mirabell61
    Patrick, your Fitting out of the Synphony interior is looking fantastic, well done Nils
  12. Mirabell61
    Thank you for dropping in and your words Kees, It still will take me some time to get the hull-planking completed and the fairing of the rather thin outer Skin afterwards... Nils

    very good looking schooner Russ Nils

    Hi Christian, I am very much impressed about your chosen scale 1:32. The "HMS Fly" is going to be twice the size of my Pegasus. Your lines and Frame plan are splendid, that will be a fantastic ship Nils
  15. Mirabell61
    Wunderbar Lee, love that cutter..... !!! Nils
  16. Mirabell61
    nice work Nigel, a fine "exotic looking" ship model, and you`re doing an excellant Job... Nils
  17. Mirabell61
    Many thanks Peter, appreciate your good advice, I´ll see if my local Obi-market has the product on stock. I used to apply two-component polyester filler before, but that has too short working time and cures out very hard, so that the sanding afterwards is creating finest "powder" all over the room. Today I completed the stand-plate (for three brass pedestals not finished yet), and stained it cherry wood color, same fashion as for the other ships and their glass cases baseplates. Still need to put some dull silk surface varnish on it Nils

    Many thanks Martin, for the Proxon Hand-Band-sander I had this one in mind (maybe something for christmas ?) That triangular sander was once a special offer by one of our crafter markets Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    very nicely done Mike Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    very nice lines on that ship PG, relatively broad, but very interesting to follow. You did a great Job so far... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Ray, I love those 3 fantastic looking ship`s boats, real little gems..., well done ! Question: the green, blue and red stripes on the different boats, are these for better identifying by the crew ? Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Good Progress Popeye, must be fun bringing the superstructure parts together now Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Hi La Don, you`ve been quirte busy with the planking Job, good work, the Planks follow the curvature of the Frames very nicely, and the Stern Portion Looks great Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Mike, those mast tops look super, also the stopper pins for the block strops under the platforms are great Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Good work Martin, the hull is looking better with every posted progress of yours.... Nils

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.
