Does Shipyard Make a 1/96 HMS Bellona?
Pitr Obrębski replied to GrandpaPhil's topic in Card and Paper Models
I've got one . I also saw that some Shipyard kit are available in pdf files. I downloaded such a file myself for HMS CLEOPTRA. -

Thank you for the kind words. I have been thinking about buying this model for a long time. This set is not the cheapest, but I do not regret the money spent. It's a really great set and gives you a lot of opportunities to make a good model. The only thing I would improve is the instruction manual. In particular, there is no description of the location of individual elements on the boards with parts. A table with columns with consecutive part numbers and the corresponding board number would be useful. You have to be careful because the same-looking parts with the same number, and differing only in the letter will be found on different boards. The thickness of these pages varies and gluing parts from one card may result in a mismatch. Better instruction would definitely be useful. Greetings Piotr

Making a capstan on a quarter deck. The base is made of walnut wood. Capstan construction made of paper. After gluing, I dipped the paper in epoxy glue. After this treatment, the thick paper stops delaminating and can be sanded.

Step by step, the work is moving forward. It's just a fitting, because first I have to make gun carriages on the upper deck.

One more time. I have started work on the bowsprit. I use the book "Anatomy of the ship - Pandora". Below I am presenting the drawings from the book and photos from the work started. rolled the bowsprit on a lathe and I come to the conclusion that the linden wood is too soft for the construction of masts and ropes.

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.
