    Thanks Greg . Cat blocks, fish davits, cavel blocks, forecastle breastwork and belfry - the forecastle deck is more or less completed.

    Sorry guys, due failure in MSW I was able to post only some pictures in the last post, no text. Now is all OK and I continue with installation of gangboards and ladders.

    Beautiful work Alex.

    Thank you guys for all nice comments and likes, they are like a new blood for my body. I completed the treenailing, next part of the build will be forecastle and quarter deck planksheer.

    Thank you druxey. Deck planking is done. It remains only treenaling.

    Thank you to all for kind words and likes. Preparation works for deck planking - instalation of waterways, margin planks, forecastle and quarter deck bulwark planking.

    Thank you Allan. So, when I was in brass work, I decided to finish the chimney. I had to combine soldering with tin and silver, which is an incredibly inappropriate combination. Here you can see the result.

    Thank you to all for comments and likes. To sailor 123456789: I have the same problem to understand this function. The chain pums and main jeer bitts are so close each other and there is no space for manipulation. Above that I made one small mistake, the main jeer bitts are positioned behind the deck beams (in plans are the main bitts under deck beam). Fortunately on the main jeer bitts end only two ropes. To John Allen: It is secret. But whoever seeks, he finds it. The last item on the main deck - brake pumps. They are installed temporarily now. Final fixation will be after deck planking.

    Thank you guys. To sailor123456789 - maybe help you tne next pictures. All parts are now installed on the deck, I added the rest of deck beams and the quarter deck is prepared for planking.
  12. marsalv
    Thank you to all for very nice comments and likes. I prepared some parts to later installation on the main deck - main jeer bitts, main topsail sheet bitts and chain pumps. It remains colouring and blackening before installation.
  13. marsalv
    Hi Alex - perfectly done.
  14. marsalv
    Thank you. After longer break a little step forward.

    According to the information that I obtained, only the upper capstan was used for weighing the anchor. The lower capstan was propably used only for the control of messenger rope and in case of upper capstan damage (only exceptionally). In this case, it was necessary to remove the pillars and ladder (both were removable).
  16. marsalv
    Thanks to all. Next part - lower and upper capstan.
  17. marsalv
    Thank you very much guys. Denis - the red frame in front of the stove is called riding bitts. Citation from the Peter Goodwin´s book The Construction and Fitting of English Man of War: These large timbers acted as securing point for cables which held the ship while riding at anchor. And why is the stove so close to the riding bitts - I have no idea. Some new parts - ladders.

    Thank you very much, I am very happy that you like my build. To Karl: The grid on the green mat (the white lines) is 1 cm. The screw heads are made form brass pins (see next picture), some part are etched, some parts are made with milling machine from brass sheet (different thickness). So, the chemical blackening is done and the stove is now installed on the deck. I just regret that the stove will be almost impossible to see after deck planking..
  19. marsalv
    Thank you guys, the galley stove is ready, it remains only to finish a few details and make the blackening.
  20. marsalv
    Thank you for nice comments. I installed some quarter deck beams, fore deck beams and the doors. As a next comes the making of galley stove.
  21. marsalv
    Gun rigging is done, all guns are now mounted on the deck.
  22. marsalv
    You are right giampieroricci. The hooks are 3 mm long and should be long about 2,5 mm. I tried to make this hooks little bit smaller but no success.
  23. marsalv
    Gun rigging is prepared, I can start to install the guns.
  24. marsalv
    Thank you to all. I started with rigging for guns. First part - breeching is ready.
  25. marsalv
    Thank you. Preparations for rigging - ropes for standing rigging, running rigging and anchor cables. Total cca 300 pcs of 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.
