    Below deck completed, all lower decks are glued in place.
  2. marsalv
    Fantastic work.
  3. marsalv
    Deck beams and middle deck (orlop deck?) completed.
  4. marsalv
    Installation of light well and fireproof bulkhead, completion of rear deck.

    To Mr. Delacroix - thank you for the explanation. To Willi - I'm sorry, you were right. Since after covering it with the deck, it will be virtually impossible to see whether the door is complete or whether a threshold is present, I decided to leave it as it is .

    Hi Willi, thanks for your comment. It is quite possible that you are right. But I was based on drawing 16-F. The door is not drawn here, but the bulkhead ends with the door border and the threshold is not drawn here. That is why I chose the solution I presented. Considering the fact that the author of the plans, Mr. Delacroix, is following the construction on the French forum and he had no comments, this is probably not a serious mistake. The last parts for the rear space have been made - the light well and the fireproof bulkhead.

    The etchings are made by a Czech company that is professionally engaged in the production of etchings. But the design of the etchings is my own, i.e. the company will make the etchings exactly according to my requirements.

    Hi Mark, the metal hinges are made from brass etched parts. Vladimir

    Another bulkhead under the rear deck.
  10. marsalv
    Fantastic work.

    I continue with the aft deck. The "production" procedure will basically copy the procedure for the fore deck.
  12. marsalv
    The dust that is created during milling can be easily removed with a brush and debonder (CA glue is used to glue the foil). I continue by installing the front bulkhead and making the front lower deck.

    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.

    Installation of molding rails.
  15. marsalv
    Fantastic work Chris👍.
  16. marsalv
    Thank you guys . Continuation of work on the stern - molding rails.
  17. 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.

    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.
  19. marsalv
    Planking between wales and molding rails completed.
  20. marsalv
    I started planking between the wales and molding rails.
  21. marsalv
    I continue with molding rails.
  22. marsalv
    You are really carving master. Fantastic work.
  23. 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.
  24. marsalv
    Installation of deck beams. Before other installations and bulkheads are installed, the deck beams are fixed with an auxiliary fixture.
  25. marsalv
    Other deck constructions.

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.
