    Hello, After a long break from my build log, i begin with a few pictures from my start with the rigging. Here i mounted the bobstay, flying jibboom guy, guy pendant and travelling guy Then i startet with the shrouds on the fore lower mast Here is the fore stay, the fore preventer stay and the fore tackle pendants After this i made the futtock stave and the fore topmast futtock shrauds Here are the catharpins And now the rat-lines And so i worked to the top of the mast After the fore mast was ready with the standing rigging i began the main mast. I rig this as well as the fore mast. When i was finished wiht the main mast, i didn´t like the result. All the lashings were smeared wiht glue. For a long time i rummaged in various forums and decided i made all new. I got new rigging yarn and started a few tries. I was totally amazed at how great the result will be. So i removed the rigging. So and this is right now. I will report on the further construction Progress. Cheers Helli

    Hi, The next work was mounted the bowsprit with lashing and bobstay After that, the manufacture of the masts began In order to assemble them, I had to make the hammock nettigs beforehand Now I could start with the masts The masts were painted and the details were attached Now I could use a plumb line to glue them into position I made the thimble myself on the lathe Then the rigging started. For this I made myself a serving machine After trying a few things it could start Helli

    Hello, Thank you for the comments and likes. It is an honor for me if the "old hands" follow my build. I would be very happy to receive tips and tricks or suggestions for improvement. Helli

    Hi, The gun port lids were numbered because they had to be individually adapted to the wales then the hinges were installed afterward they were painted and the eyelet was installed The figurehead were painted and glued into position. I think it's OK here i milled the groove for the brass profile I had to bend and solder a brass ring to prepare the anchors. Then the ring was wrapped with rope the victory lettering was stuck in position. after that i started assembling the rudder and here is the finished result Now that the hull was reasonably finished I started with the masts First I started with the bowsprit. I have made all masts from five individual parts so that they cannot twist That was it for today again Helli

    Hi, At the stern gallery i put on the individual parts to convince myself of the fit When i was satisfied i glued the parts in place Then i sanded the fenders and chesstrees and glued it on their place I made the black stripes between the windows from black cardboard Now i painted the stern trophy of arms and mounted it after that i was able to finish the side gallery the next was the side entry port and the steps When assembling the chainplates I saw that some of the length didn't fit so I had to recreate them Helli

    Hi, Now i can start rigging the cannons. Seems to be almost endless but is fun After I had finished rigging I started the details on the upper gun deck The first thing i did was assemble the bilge pump Then i assembled the stairs and the railing Finally I sanded the skid beam support pillars square and glued it on deck After everything was done, I started fitting the quarterdeck. The assembly of the sliding clamps was a bit tricky The planking of the quarterdeck can begin I have cut off the bulkhead so that I can assemble the inner gunport patterns and planked it Then I painted them Forecastle breast beam Bellhouse Now all the details on the inner gunport Assemble the copper profiles and the channels In the channels I drilled a 1 mm hole and put in a brass pin with cut off the head. So that i can mount the channels on the hull Helli

    Hi I would like to thank you very much Pronounce Charter33, gil-middleton and bertu. I found a lot of tips and tricks on their models and adopted them. Cheers Helli

    Hi, My build is only 5 days old, but I've been building for a year and a half. Therefore, I actually do a fast forward to my current status. I am currently in the rigging. But I have some problems that I have already solved in another thread. But more on that later. Helli

    Hi, It continues with the planking of the inner bulark gunport pattern and the production of the other details from the upper gun deck Now the cannons can be assembled. For this I made a template with which I can drill the cannons at a 45 ° angle. Then I made a strap with a 1mm wire Then the cannons are assembled I had to make a small tool to bend the cannon axis bracket (by Charter 33) Then I could start painting the hull. And now the copper To finish off the copper plates, I sanded back an L-profile made of plastic on one leg so that it just barely covered the copper plates Then I drilled the holes for the dummy cannons. So that I can drill horizontally, I built an auxiliary device as shown in the picture Helli

    Hi, After my break i start again with my Report. After sanding the first hull planking, i started the quarter gallery and the middle gun deck planking. Since I liked it better not to lay the planks in one piece, I took over the dimensions from charter33 Then i broke the edges all around and laid the planks with a small gap. I put a thread in the gap for the kafalterung. Then i glued the side gallerie in place When this is done i started whit the second hull planking Then i started with lining the gunport and mounted the wales Planking the upper gun deck When weathering, I rubbed ashes into wood with a small sponge. Then sealed with clear varnish so that the ash can be drawn into the wood. When everything is dry, sand until the desired effect is achieved. I drilled the nails with a 0.4mm drill and I filled the holes with coal dust with a pencil. Then I sealed everything with matt clear varnish. Think the result looks ok! So that's it for today Helli

    Hi, Charter33 I've been reading your buildlog all the time and have copied a few things. Was pretty disappointed when you took a break for a year now. But now it goes on again. Thank you for the kind words

    Hi, By popular request, I start here with a buildlog from HMS Victory by Caldercraft. Please don't be so strict with me if the one or the other is not so perfect. This is my first ship I am building. I started doing it about a year and a half ago. The bulkheads, the main keeland the middle gun deck are already glued together. Here i painted it black and glued Filler Blocks in place Than i sanded it all To assemble the gunport I built small screw clamps I used small screws to keep the gunport 2 and 3 in position Than i startet with hull planking After sanding the first planking is finished So that the buildlog is not too long today, I'm taking a break. Cheers Helli

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.
