HI ALL
SOME MINOR WORKS HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED.
SHIPS PUMPS ARE DONE......WOODEN PARTS FROM STEAMED PEAR , HANDLE BRACKET FROM BLACKEND BRASS AS IS DISCHARGE PIPE AND STRAPPING BANDS FROM BLACK PAPER.
ALL TEN EQUALLY SPACED HOLES HAVE BEEN DRILLED......THEY NOW NEED SQUARING OFF.
IVE ENCLOSED PHOTOS OFF THE SET UP FOR DRILLING WHICH IS A LITTLE HEATH ROBINSON BUT IT WORKS.
ONCE THE CAPSTAN IS FINISHED IT WILL BE TIME TO START PLANKING INBOARD...IN STEAMED PEAR.
THE PHOTOS SHOW SOME DRAWINGS OF A CAPSTAN AND SHIPS PUMP FROM AOTS ENDEAVOUR WHICH IS OF THE SAME TIME PERIOD AND I USED AS A PRIMARY REFERENCE.
CHEERS FOR NOW....MICK

HI ALL
DECK HAS NOW BEEN PLANKED
UNFORTUNATELY I DRILLED THE HOLES IN ONE PLANK IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!! DOH!!!
OUT CAME THE ISO....THANKFULLY IT CAME OUT QUITE EASILY....PHEW!
I CAN NOW MOVE FORWARD AND START MAKING THE DECK FITTINGS.....ONCE IVE SANDED THE DECK SMOOTH

THE CLAMPS I MADE EARLIER PROVED TO HAVE A FEW ISSUES WITH THEM.......SO THE BOXWOOD WAS REPLACED WITH ALUMINIUM....PROBABLY DOWN TO ME USING 3MM THREAD RATHER THAN THE UNF THREAD.

THATS ALL FOR NOW FOLKS

CHEERS...MICK

THE SHAPE OF THE WATER WAY WAS ATTAINED WITH A PROFILE SCRAPER FASHIONED FROM A STANLEY BLADE.
CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FITTED.

CHEERS FOR NOW....MICK

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.
