    further on with the Chebec`s glass case making.... the slotted rods unfortunately come only in 900mm lengths, due to the required length of the base and the glass panes, the rods will have to be shafted. I chose a brass reinforcement profile in order to strengthen the shafted joints. The complete glass bonnet and its frame will be guided and centered in 6 places for removal..... (at four corners and one on each length side) Nils this is my little model, which I take to the glasser, when ordering the panes, together with a scetch comprising the dimensions, pointing out why the dimensions and tolerances are important to hold corner / side guide sleeves and pins to centre the removeable bonnet later on shafting the bottom length sides at 25° angle, with brass reinforcement profiles (assemly with CA) the reinforcement will hardly be visible afterwards the frame will be flush with the upper outside base contour

    Beautiful propellor / rudder assembly valeriy, Nils

    Valeriy, nice jig-arrangement for propshaft alignment. I looks like the two mounting screws through the propshaft housings will disable the shafts from turning.... is that wanted this way ? Nils

    Hi Patrick, with all those cool curves she`s coming along very nicely, hope you never loose the orientation with all those lines.....😉 Nils

    Thanks for looking in Martin, cutting the 45° angles of that molding works well, if the piece is pressed and held firmly in the corner of the miter guide surfaces Nils

    Lovely work Etsinko, Nils

    Today I started building the Chebecs casing.... it will be a bit larger than usual (width) due to the sticking out oars on stb. side, and the ships boat on the port side. The display place will be swapped with that of the Gorch fock, momentarily in my hobby room, which I will place upstairs instead. I have foreseen an old cast iron foot base of a former heritage sewing machine for Gorch Fock`s new stand-on support...., will have to exchange the glass plate against a sturdy wooden base for safety reasons... Nils cutting the edge pieces of the baseplate only little (minimum) clearance to the stb. glass side. Will apply cherry wood stain afterwards, like my other casings have and to the port oar of the boat This will be the new stand support for the "Gorch Fock" model`s glasscase. Need to exchange the glass plate against a 1200 mm long wooden plate in adequate thickness

    Thanks for your word Denis, and for looking in..... Nils

    beautiful work on the companionway B.E. and the cutter`s hull and its planking is looking wonderful..... Nils

    Many thanks Ed, as already mentioned, the shipmodel making will run idle for some time, as I have to find a suitable place to display the Chebec in our home ....... The next project will most probably be the seagoing "Hainan Djunk" in scale 1:30....., as my mind is going "pregnant" with that one for some time already Nils

    Hi Martin, thank you so much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated.... I have been doing some necessary repairs and sanding and paint freshups around house and garden lately and there are still some things to be done before the cold and wet period sets in. The glass casing for the chebec has not been started yet, but is one of the to-does on my list. To overcome the rather boring time without a new shipmodel on the slipway, I have reactivated my ( for PC ) Microsoft Flight Simulator and have discovered some beautiful regions to explore in the world, but not only that, I have as well also tried out a wonderful train simulator to explore the main- and narrow gauge lines of New Zealand recently.... Cheers, 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.
