    Windows - the last part on the stern, then I will continue on the inside of the hull. I chose the same method as for Le Gross Ventre - a frame made of two halves, in one half a pocket is milled for embedding plastic foil. After gluing, the whole is milled on both sides to the required thickness.

    Fantastic work Chris👍.
  24. marsalv
    Thank you guys . Continuation of work on the stern - molding rails.
  25. marsalv
    Thank you druxey. I continue with the planking of the stern. First it was necessary to make another rather complicated part defining the extension of the sides at the stern. The part is "shaped" in all three axes and the production is quite complex.
  26. marsalv
    Thank you guys. To Chris - I don't like the black caulking between the planks to be too prominent, so the caulking here is created only by blackening the edge of the plank with a pencil so that it is not too prominent. The only exception is the planks on the decks, where the caulking is created with black paper. Here this color contrast makes a bit more sense (at least from my point of view). I continue by planing the "thicker" part of the bow.

    Planking between wales and molding rails completed.

    I started planking between the wales and molding rails.
  30. marsalv
    I continue with molding rails.
  31. marsalv
    You are really carving master. Fantastic work.
  32. marsalv
    I decided to finish the outer planking above the wales first before installing the interior equipment. The first thing I had to do was cut out the holes for the gunport and oars.
  33. marsalv
    Installation of deck beams. Before other installations and bulkheads are installed, the deck beams are fixed with an auxiliary fixture.
  34. marsalv
    Other deck constructions.

    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.

  37. marsalv
    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.

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.
