    Thanks everyone for the feedback regarding painting. I still have enough time for a final decision. I soon interrupt work on Pandora and start finishing Royal Caroline. I make now only minor works from this reason - preparation of deck beams and deck planks.
  2. marsalv
    Inner planking is completed now including sweep ports and holes for fixed blocks. Now I am standing before deciding whether to paint inner planking red or left it in its natural state.

    Hi Nils and Dave, thanks for compliment . I started the inner planking - waterways, spirketting and quickwork are completed.

    Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. It gives me great encouragement for further work. I decided to make wales from separated parts. It took me about 40 hours to make and stick 4+4 wales nad 1+1 black strake .

    I started the hull planking - the lower counter. It is my first attempt to planking the hull in one layer.

    Thanks everyone for comments. Work on the RC will now be temporarily stopped. I started to build a new model - see my new log scratch build of Pandora. The work on the rigging will continue in the autumn and winter because these works I can make indoors.

    Hi Antony, thank you for your compliment . I continue with the production of external keel. It is made of individual parts which are glued together.
  14. marsalv
    The bulkheads and the inner the keel is made of plywood, the outer part of the keel will be made ​​of pear wood. Thanks to the large number of bulkheads (26 pcs) and small gaps between will be done only one planking.
  15. marsalv
    I decided to start work on another model (work on Royal Caroline have reached the stage where it can be easily done at home in the autumn and winter months). The choice fell on Pandora. It is my first real scratch build (POB) according to plans from the book Anatomy of the Ship. The first phase of construction was making a plan of the bulkheads and the keel using TurboCad.
  16. marsalv
    After longer break. a few more images - I finished the production of the yards.

    Thank you very much nmbrook. I used informations from book James Lees - The masting and rigging of English ships of war. In download section you can find the table which is very helpful. Back to my model. I finally finished lower parts of masts.
  21. marsalv
    So I went into the making ropes and after about a week of intensive work (exactly 27 hours of actual time) I have done. There will be a total of 9 different rope thicknesses in the model (7 are ropes + 2 basic yarns from which the ropes are made). I made about 220 ropes of different thicknesses.
  22. marsalv
    Another detail on masts - collars.
  23. marsalv
    Thanks everyone for the compliments . Little bit progress in mast constuction.

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.
