    To No Idea - Vectric programs can read DXF files. So it is necessary to have a CAD program available in which I draw what I need to mill and save such a drawing in DXF format. I then load it into Vectric's Aspire program and then create the milling data there.

    Thank you guys . To properly position the deck beams, it is advisable to already have some of the structural elements that will be part of the decks. I started with main bitts and standarts and jeer-bitts.

    Hi No Idea, at Le Gros Ventre I made Samson's post using a shape cutter. Here it's completely CNC - the result is nice . I continue with the deck beams in the lower front part of the hull. These deck beams will be attached to the inner planking on one side, on the other side, where the frames are cut out, the ends of the deck beams will be in the air, which makes their installation somewhat complicated. I made an auxiliary jig for this purpose.

    Interior floors.

    Thank you guys, the deck beams are ready for later installation so I started with the internal installations. The foremast step was the first to come.

    Temporary placement of deck beams.

    To druxey: Thanks for the inspiration. I'll try it next time. But I read somewhere that the angle at which the individual strands enter the rope should be about 45 degrees. That should be harder to achieve with the solution you proposed. Making of deck beams.
  29. marsalv
    The last batch of ropes is finally finished. In total, I wound about 260 ropes of various thicknesses, the length of the rope is about 180 cm. And now I can start working with wood again.
  30. marsalv
    Fantastic work.
  31. marsalv
    I adjusted the controls on my ropewalk and started winding the ropes. I started with the weaker ones, which are easier to wind, but there are a few more of them. The first batch is done.

    Thankl you No Idea for the reply. Christmas holidays are over, so I'm back to work. I'm continuing with the production and installation of the main mast step.
  34. marsalv
    It's time to cut out the "windows" in the unplanked half of the hull. And since Christmas and the end of the year are approaching, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025.
  35. marsalv
    The hull planking is finally done. I'm glad to have it done .
  36. marsalv
    Don't worry, the other side will be without planks and partially open, so the inside of the hull will be visible.
  37. marsalv
    I continue planking and nailing the hull. All that remains is to glue the last 4 planks and make the final sanding.

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.
