    Thank you to all for nice comments . To allanyed: your question - answer is correct. All parts are now mounted on the hull.

    Omar CS, Albert - thanks . Another part of build - chains for deadeyes. All parts are made from brass with silver soldering.

    Hi Albert, today I discovered your log. I have to say only one word - amazing .
  4. marsalv
    I decided to make my own deadeyes. And here is the result.

    Michael, thank you for nice comments. Greg, it is not made with CNC machine, only freehand. It is very difficult to explain it with my bad english. You can see the small pin on the first picture which serves as stop. I only move with wooden part from one side to the other, pin follows the shape of the wood. You have to go with wood part against pin twice - milling bitt is either in position 1 or in position 2.

    Thank you guys . To Greg: The moldings isn´t done with scraper, it is made with milling bitt - the same method I used for standard production (see pictures in this contribution) Small step forward - installation of chanells.

    Hello, this kit was produced by company Igra in former Czechoslovakia (now Czech republic). I built this model many many years ago and model is not good. best regards Vladimir

    After longer break I am ready to continue. Instalation of port lids.
  11. marsalv
    Thank you guys . To wyzwyk: the netting is made from YLI quilting thread (http://www.ylicorp.com/product.aspx?PID=63304a0f-0bb5-4b6d-8d39-4ddb657a3c6a&SCID=783065c6-9646-4430-afa0-3911b032b4f4), colour nr. Lt. Brown 21100003. Galion is done, so I went into the port lids and their hinges.
  12. marsalv
    Thank you for nice comments . I added a few details to the galion - boomkin and berthing rail with head netting.
  13. marsalv
    Thanks guys . Last part of galion is done - cathead supporter + eking rail.For this piece, I had the greatest fear because it is curved in all three planes. In the end it was not quite that bad (the previous head timbers gave me a hard time considerably more). I am glad I have this complicated part behind me.
  14. marsalv
    Thank you Dirk and Mark. Today only small progress - shot garlands and seats of ease.
  15. marsalv
    Thank you albert and wyzwyk. Instalation of simplified head timbers.
  16. marsalv
    Than you Albert. Lower rails and gratings.
  17. marsalv
    Thank you Tom, but the reality is not so simple as the photos show . I attached the false rails, main rails are installed on the model.
  18. marsalv
    Preparation of head rails. Now it remains to properly fit the to a model.
  19. marsalv
    Your welcome WackoWolf . I continue with other details on the front part of the main deck. Catheads are already installed, so I can continue with galion.
  20. marsalv
    Hi Alex, nice to see you again. I was very much looking forward to continue your construction. You are doing great work .
  21. marsalv
    I continue with riding bitts.
  22. marsalv
    Thank you for comments . Cleats and manger.
  23. marsalv
    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.
  24. marsalv
    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
  25. marsalv
    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.

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.
