    Thank you Dirk . I have started assembling the stern, it will be quite hard work.
  5. marsalv
    Thank you to all for very nice comments! I finished the deck, including treenailing and attachment of the sculpers.

  13. marsalv
    Thank you Jason! Moldings from boxwood - yet only temporary fastening.
  14. marsalv
    Thanks to all for nice comments. I added the top part of the planking above the wales with free space for decorative moldings.
  15. marsalv
    Thanks Greg, you are right - not hours but days . I finished the first part of planking above wales. This part will not be colored, so I used here the treenails.
  16. marsalv
    Thanks to all. The idea for making treenails with needle is not mine, I learned this method from russian modelers . To rtropp: see enclosed picture - front side of the block with treenail is covered with masking tape, block is cuted off with saw. After removing tape you can easily eject treenails from the block. After endless hours I finished the hull treenailing. Result will be more visible after waxing.

    Thank you Greg. Although it is not historically accurate, I decided to leave the hull without copper plating. On the other hand, the whole hull will be with treenails. So I started the "mass" production of the pins (about 8,000 pieces).
  18. marsalv
    Thanks to all for nice comments . So after about a month of hard work is the planking of the hull under wales finally done.
  19. marsalv
    Incredible work (as usual )
  20. marsalv
    Thanks to all for nice comments. I slowly continue with planking, about one half is done.
  21. marsalv
    Thank you Greg . I continue with planking from the opposite side.
  22. marsalv
    So I began planking the hull. It's my first attempt planking in one layer. I'll see what happens, and depending on the result I will decide whether to make copper protection or not. I started with a few plank in keel area.
  23. marsalv
    Thanks to all . To amateur: I wanted to build a model in scale 1:48. But due to space limitation I chose a compromise scale 1:52. Now is the time to show the figurehead which made for me Doris (for those who do not know her work http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?hl=doris).I appreciate very much this assistance because my attempt would probably ended very pathetic.
  24. marsalv
    So I decided to continue on Pandora. I solved before winter whether to use color or not. Finally, the choice fell on a partially colored model and started to spray wales. On the first attempt with airbrush it does not look bad.
  25. marsalv
    So I returned from my first participation in the national championship, where I won the bronze medal. Thanks to everyone on this forum for your support. The model is placed in a display case, and now I am going into the continuation of another model - http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7073-pandora-152-by-marsalv/?hl=marsalv

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.
