    Hi Rob, the davits will be those old fashioned "lantern masts" swing out davits, if you wish, pls. refer to the pics in my post #1325 on page 45.... For the clinker-appeal boats I really have`nt made the final decision yet, but I am "going pregnant" with the cast resin methode, preferably by making each boat in two halves from moulds and plugs, including the seating interior, and alternatively closed boats with canvas cover. Because the boats are only 60 mm long, it neads some special treatment. I`ll look into that when the bridge work is completed Nils

    Update : starting with the bridge front, with card templates for making the brass pannels, all the braces and supports are on and the bridge-plattform is in place Nils

    little update : made and attached two deck lights (one one the midships plattform, one under the bridge deck) and made braces for supporting the bridge wing cabs from underneath..... Nils did`nt apply filler here yet in the background, the plastic foil that covers the model when not working on it

    Keith, excellent work, your fittings, that schooner deck has a real classic appeal, well done .... Nils

    Wow !! Kees, wunderbare Arbeit, it looks like the real thing after an overhaul in the dock... Nils

    Hi Greg, the braces worked out fine, it was a bit tricky to get the fastening pins align to the small holes in the lower bridge, so that all of the braces find their correct place.... Nils the pins on the upper side will be cut flush with the deck surface before planking this.... priming and painting from the underside

    many thanks Greg, a bloody nice compliment of yours... Nils

    Thank you very much Pete and Michael, for your words... Pete, glad you looked in and like the build, you`re always wellcome... Michael, Thanks for your put in here... I`m not familiar with the term "drape", but think you probably mean thermo-forming over a wooden mould or so.... I have`nt thought it through completely, but there are several alternative ways of production. What I`ll probably go for at first trial is to resin cast a left and a right half into a mould (horizontal and laying on its side), made from a suitable material and two different detailed wooden plugs that can be hung into the mould from above. This way I can produce either boat-halves closed with canvas, or open boats with view to interior fitting out. Each boat half shall require post and individual treatment. Nils

    Thank you very much Igor, for your nice, appreciative words,... Nils

    Hi Bob, great progress on the aft deck house.... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Thanks Denis, well, one railing to the upper bridge and one on top of the wheelhouse structure to go.... Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Update : starting with the upper bridge. Made new stairs for replacement with 135 ° angle in the railing. There will be several Y- shaped supports from the upper to the lower bridge...., made one as prototype in brass to see if it works... Nils these tiny buggers (stairs, supports) are quite tricky for soldering but look nice, when done... the supports have to be integrated when the upper bridge is mounted, Here an example pic from a nice built card model I found on the web

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.
