    Beautiful work - as usual .

    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
  3. marsalv
    After longer break I am ready to continue. Instalation of port lids.
  4. 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.
  5. marsalv
    Thank you for nice comments . I added a few details to the galion - boomkin and berthing rail with head netting.
  6. 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.

    Thank you Dirk and Mark. Today only small progress - shot garlands and seats of ease.
  8. marsalv
    Thank you albert and wyzwyk. Instalation of simplified head timbers.
  9. marsalv
    Than you Albert. Lower rails and gratings.
  10. 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.
  11. marsalv
    Preparation of head rails. Now it remains to properly fit the to a model.
  12. 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.
  13. marsalv
    Hi Alex, nice to see you again. I was very much looking forward to continue your construction. You are doing great work .
  14. marsalv
    I continue with riding bitts.
  15. marsalv
    Thank you for comments . Cleats and manger.
  16. 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.

    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
  18. 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.
  19. marsalv
    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.
  20. marsalv
    Thank you Greg. After painting are the carriages ready for attaching of guns.
  21. 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.
  22. marsalv
    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.
  23. marsalv
    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.
  24. marsalv
    Thank you guys . I added pins and royal emblems on the barrels and they are now ready for blackening.
  25. marsalv
    So the guns are finally done. Now I do not want to see a lathe for a long time.

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.
