    Thank you guys for kind words and likes. After some week I finished with yards production. Now is time for masts and tops.

    Hi Ondras, nice to see you here with the new build.
  4. marsalv
    To Ilhan: Parts of hammock cranec are made from different messing tubes and profiles. Individual parts are then soldered together with silver soldering paste. Installation of hammock nettings and swivel guns - the last part of the hull at this moment. Now I am going making the masts, tops, yards etc.
  5. marsalv
    Thank you guys. I made and installed all hammock cranes, now remains to make the nettings.
  6. marsalv
    Anchors and anchor buyos - the anchors are made from three parts soldered together.
  7. marsalv
    Little progress - making and instalation of belaying pins.

    To gorington: The caulking is simulated with black paper glued to the planks. Steering whell - the quarter deck is finished.

    Thank you Nils. I added some small items on the qurter deck, now remains the last item which will be placed on the quarter deck - stering wheels.

    I forgot to answer the Tigersteve´s question - brass blackening is made with blackening agent for Tiffany technology (http://www.vensy.cz/vensy/eshop/12-1-Tiffany-technika-cinovani/31-2-Chemie-pro-cinovani/5/345-Patina-cerna-tiffany-technika), warm solution 2:50 (water). The next one is binnacle.

    Thank you guys for your nice comments and all likes. Carronades are completed and mounted on the deck. The quarter deck is starting to fill up nicely.
  12. marsalv
    Thank you guys for all the likes and nice comments. To Ondras71: You are not right, there are many other builders much better as me on this forum. Swivel guns and carronades - it remains to make the carriages for carronades, the swivel guns are ready for the mounting (will be done later).
  13. marsalv
    Quarter deck breastwork with hammock cranes and netting. I spend the next few days at the lathe - I have to make swivel guns and carronades.
  14. marsalv
    Little progress - skid beams, boat chocks will be added later.
  15. marsalv
    Thanks Greg . Cat blocks, fish davits, cavel blocks, forecastle breastwork and belfry - the forecastle deck is more or less completed.
  16. marsalv
    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.

    Thank you Albert and Alex. Forecastle and quarter deck planksheer is installed now (including timberheads).
  19. marsalv
    Beautiful work Alex.
  20. marsalv
    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.
  21. marsalv
    Thank you druxey. Deck planking is done. It remains only treenaling.
  22. marsalv
    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.
  23. marsalv
    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.
  24. marsalv
    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.
  25. marsalv
    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.

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.
