    Hi G.L. beautiful work on the planking, I very much like that you are planking in oak, it looks very authentic, it gives the character of a real working ship. Well done ! Nils

    Christos, thank you very much for your appreciative words, As the Amati Chebec was too small (1:60) to suit my intentions of the model, I decided to make "something special" out of the basic plan without making things too complicated.... I must admit, that the plan is not going much into detail, but I`ve studied a lot of chebec models on the web, and will try to adopt quite a lot of details I liked during this search. Also there is my imagination and improvisation which provides me much fun... In scale 1:48 the complete model will be 900 mm long between bow sprit and aft-sail boom. It certainly will require quite a large glass case when finished... Nils

    Many thanks Moxis, thanks for sharing... good news for using acid primer on shiny blanc aluminium surfaces without prior surface treatment. Guess the primer is somewhat the same that the actual aircraft industry uses.... Nils

    Very good looking hull Moxis, how`s your experience now with the acid primer. do you have a sufficient bonding with the aluminium ? Nils

    Very interesting procedure Adrian, never seen the planking of a negative hull-side on this forum before You seem to know exactly what you`re doing there....., looks well thought through Nils

    Update : (status report) made some additional supporting braces in the areas where the gunports will be cut into the bulwarks.... On the stb. side the template fror the gun plattform can be seen Nils the guns standing on rails, the barrels pointing upwards, where they will be strapped to the upper bulwarks

    lovely handcraft work G.L., Many thanks for reissuing and sharing your build log with your fellow members.... Nils

    Hi Adrian, I like the design of the "Flower Class" Corvettes, and shall be following with great interest, all the best with your model and much fun with the build.... Nils

    Beautiful work Jim, Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Wow Jim, what an allround talent you have ! Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Update : on the deck outcut side i put the braces on that hold the 9 side gratings in place. The 7 port guns will be arranged between the gratings, with barrels tied up at the upper bulwark, and the carriages tightly rigged for non battle mode. The starboard guns will be pointing out through the gun-ports. I am concidering if eventually I should show the sweeps in their oar-port positions, at least on one side.... 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.
