very nice work Valeriy, how did you machine that multi smart idea enbossing block, is it hardened after machining ? Did you need to aneal the brass rounds prior to shaping with the punch ? The final soldering and trimming of the vents looks great.the relative thin wall-thicknesses, do not bring too much topweight to the model. Nils

Hi Roel, many thanks for your comment. The "Heavy weight punch" is a print on canvas, I like Geoff Hunt`s maritime paintings very much. Its because I`m short with display space that there are models in front of that wonderful picture. Nils

The model is finished, but not yet the glass-casing for it. I ordered the glass panes at my local glassers yesterday, and am meantime working on the baseplate and the frame parts (double slot) wooden liners ...... I have used this method to date on all my casings Nils the baseplate with edge-profiles and bottom liners the look from beneath the bottom liner profiles with reinforcement angles and brass sleeves to fit the 6 adjusting brass pins (here without stain treatment) the model will stand on its own standplate in the casing. This allows to remove it at any time, whereby the upper bonnet can be lifted off the 6 pins The case corners, hopefully precise cut panes of 4mm thick glass will fit exactly into the slots The wooden slots have slightly surplus of appr 1 mm in length in order to compensate possible wood shrinkage

Thank you both Richard and Kees, Richard, yes, I would add some weathering like rust etc, but unfortunately I have no expereience with that Kees, I`m 76 years, and the hobby with it`s modeling tasks still keeps me going quite well..... Nils

Hi Yves, many thanks for your kind words, much appreciated, I`ll have pull the handbrake on modeling in the moment, due to lack of space for displaying. I have`nt made any decisions for future builds yet, allthough there are many project ideas spooking around in my mind. I have to build the two glass cases next for my "Zeesboot", my wifes favorate one, and for the just finished "Ergenstrasse". The glass case of the "5 Elbe" pilotschooner fits as well for the "Zeesboot" perfectly, as this was intended, but that ca`nt be swapped every now and then, and the problem in cleaning a dusted ship, ca`nt be ignored eighther. Nils "Zeesboot" on top, underneath "5 Elbe" pilotschooner and "Ergenstrasse" in front

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.
