    Thank you No Idea. I started to complete the stern.
  2. marsalv
    I finally finished the internal planking to the deck clamp level.
  3. marsalv
    I started planking over the thick- stuff.
  4. marsalv
    My posts have gotten me to the stage where the actual model building phase is, so now my posts won't be as frequent . The first part of the inner planking (the ceiling) is finished, including the limber boards.

    Thank you guys for all likes and nice comments. It's time for inside planking. The spirketting, which is made of two thicker planks, was installed first. These planks are slightly recessed below the level of the frames.

    Thanky you Applying the deck clamp strengthened the hull so I could complete the limber-passage.
  7. marsalv
    Gluing deck clamp, making temporary deck beams to check the location.
  8. marsalv
    Deck clamp preparation.
  9. marsalv
    Added keelson. This completes the basic hull skeleton.
  10. marsalv
    Hull sanding completed.
  11. marsalv
    Thank you. Filling pieces.
  12. marsalv
    All the frames are in place, it's time to make the mounts for the stand screws. After gluing the keelson will not be visible.

    To contrecerf: In fact, these are square holes - limber-passage - see picture.

    To Hubac´s Historian: Thank you for nice comment, but be careful, we're just at the beginning (that was a joke ). The most beveled frames are done, the frames in the middle part don't have as much beveling anymore so it went a little faster.
  15. marsalv
    I decided to finish and fit the frames in the front and back of the model first - these frames require more beveling and I want to get this done as soon as possible.
  16. marsalv
    Frames on the stern.
  17. marsalv
    Making the hawse holes at this stage was a mistake, so I blinded them with a wooden plug and will drill them again after the planking.
  18. marsalv
    I continue to complete the bow.
  19. marsalv
    An ingenious way of milling .
  20. marsalv
    Thank you guys for nice comments and likes. I continue with the construction of hawse timbers.
  21. marsalv
    I used 0.6 x 0.6 mm brass wire for nailing the frames.
  22. marsalv
    Milling and beveling of frames.
  23. marsalv
    Preparation for the production of frames.
  24. marsalv
    Now it was the turn of one of the more complicated parts, which I didn't really want to do - the fashion piece.
  25. marsalv
    I agree, I personally don't have very good memories of the judges in Croatia either (I participated there with Pandora). And as for the "new" group of CNC models, maybe that will happen one day, just as a new category for kit models (C8) was established. I wish you a lot of fun building a beautiful model (after all, that's why we build models - for fun).

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.
