    Hi Alex, nice to see you again. I was very much looking forward to continue your construction. You are doing great work .
  2. marsalv
    I continue with riding bitts.

    Thank you for comments . Cleats and manger.

    Thank you guys for comments, but you are not right now. I'm not satisfied with the already finished parts (lower and upper cheeks), and so I decided to make them again. It's hard for me to explain it with my bad english, but used wood has a distinctive structure across the fiber and on the manufactured parts is this structure too visible. I had to choose another orientation of parts on wood. A few minor details is completed - wash cant, gammonig chock, bolster nad lining in the hawse holes.

    Thank you druxey . Now I started the most complicated part of the model for me - the galion. In this moment is completed only the "easy" part - lower and upper cheeks

    Thank you guys, I´m very glad that you like my build. Your positive comments are the driving force to further stages of construction for me. I'll try to disappoint your expectations . Today only few photos of details on the outside of the hull.

    Thanks to all for very nice comments. To RedDawg - blackening solution is desribed in post #206, with regard to nuts and bolts I used the following parts that simulate bolts and nuts: http://www.litomysky.cz/kadee/kad088.htm. So the guns are finally done, rigging will be added immediately prior to installation aboard.

    Thank you Greg. After painting are the carriages ready for attaching of guns.
  9. marsalv
    Thank you guys. Because I have no duplicator, I had to turn each gun separately (many time and many destroyed material). Details of carriages added.

    To Allan - the monogram is not my production, these are made by "etching" company (http://www.etchworks.cz/). Normally are parts etched simultaneously from both side, here is etching made only from one side. Before gluing is necessary to roughen both surfaces (eg. tweezers) then glue adheres well (I had to repair two pieces from 20). The solution for blackening - heated solution water and patina for Tiffany technique (ratio 50 : 1) (http://www.vensy.cz/vensy/eshop/12-1-Tiffany-technika-cinovani/31-2-Chemie-pro-cinovani/5/345-Patina-cerna-tiffany-technika) Carriages assembly.

    Monogram is etched from brass 0,2 mm and glued with CA. The blackening of guns is done a I started preparation of parts for gun carriages.
  12. marsalv
    Thank you guys . I added pins and royal emblems on the barrels and they are now ready for blackening.
  13. marsalv
    So the guns are finally done. Now I do not want to see a lathe for a long time.
  14. marsalv
    Wyzwyk, Alex and druxey - thanks for nice comments. I started the gun "production". In this moment is done the easier part, the more difficult is still ahead of me.
  15. marsalv
    Hi to all, so after a long break back to "work" . To Tom - used wood is boxwood and steamed pear To Nigel - No, I don´t. To Greg - I had to instal the hanging knees before beams due colloring of inner bulwarks, but I like it. To aviaamator - sorry for flaws. I agree that real part of deck is little bit simplified because the interior will not be visible. Sorry for delay with reply. As another part I chose the production of guns. Guns will be turned from brass, the problem is that turning is a completely new thing for me and so far I'm learning it. I've ruined so much material over and spent so much time that would be cheaper to buy finished guns. On the other side it is the great challange for me. I hope that in a few days I will be able to "show" some result. For now at least I prepared various eyelets and hooks.

    Hi Daniel, the blue color is acrylic paint from czech producer (http://obchod.agama-model.cz/cz-detail-235034-r29-p-tmava-sedomodra.html). Aft cabin bulkheads are finished and installed on the deck.
  17. marsalv
    Thanks to all for very nice comments. To toms10: The lettering is made with scroll saw. The same procedure is used for ornaments (with some hand carvings). To EdT: I am very happy that you like my work because YOU are the true master on this forum . I started with preparation of aft cabin bulkheads.
  18. marsalv
    Stern is completely finished .
  19. marsalv
    Thanks to all guys . Stern gradually begins to fill up. There remains to stick ships name and some moldings and the stern will be completely finished.
  20. marsalv
    Thank you Erik and WackoWolf. Here are some next pictures.
  21. marsalv
    Thanks to all . I continue with instalation of windows.
  22. marsalv
    Thanks guys for nice comments. To wyzwyk: Sorry, I did not good understand your questiuon. Could you please explain what did you mean?
  23. marsalv
    Thank you Dirk. Moldings and upper finishing of the gallery.
  24. marsalv
    Thanks to all for nice comments . Few last days I colored inside and outside of the hull. Now I am able to install prepared parts.
  25. marsalv
    Thanks guys, I decided to install the hanging knees now because the inner part of bulwark will be colored. Some pictures of parts prepared for the stern.

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.
