    Thanks for nice comments. Some small details are added on the hull - the side stairs, anchor lining and the rudder chain.

    David, Peter - thanks for nice comments. Next part of construction - gratings. This was my first attempt to scratch-build the grating. On the last picture you can see the difference between kit and scratch-built grating.

    Thanks normanh, work on the details is lengthy, but it makes the model a better look. Chain-plates were finished and whole assembly is mounted on the hull.

    Lower deadeyes are mounted to the chanells - assembly is readdy for installation on the hull.

    Chanells with supports - I didn´t use plywood parts from the kit, but I made my own from pear strip.

    Thanks for comments. To Bedford - I was thinking of white-off painting under the waterline at the beginning, but then I decided to let the hull unpainted to show the planking. Next part - timberheads.

    Top rail of the beakhead - realization took me quite a long time since I've rebuilt many times some parts. The whole set is very fragile, so I decided to put the whole assembly still only provisionally. Definitely will be placed on the hull and finished after completion of the hull.

    So I finally started to make the beakhead. RC model kit of Panart has a slightly different bow - dimensions and shape, in addition with my own mistakes (too raised wales on the bow), so it was very difficult to make the beakhead same way as in AOS. And because I did not want to use the system of beakhead from a kit I had to implement a number of compromises during this part of construction. In the first stage, I made ​​the cheeks, whose shape and location is affected by the errors of the model. At the same time I made the sheave block and bumpkins that I will need for realization and position of top rails of beakhead. I used Proxxon milling machine for shaping of bumpkins

    Rudder minor improvements - added the wood lock and rudder-coat.

    Hi all, thanks for nice comments. Steve - I use ordinary water based acrylic matt varnish, the colors are water-based acrylic paint too - I like acrylic paints - they dry relatively quickly, work well upon them and look pretty. Next part of build - scuppers.
  18. marsalv
    Front railing is now completed.
  19. marsalv
    Thanks for compliment. After front top deck mounting I continue with railing and cathead. I needed special planks with the exact thickness 0,7 mm for the cathead. I helped with my Proxxon milling machine. I made the cathead somewhat shorter, so I had to extend the cathead.

    Hi Steve, I'm glad you like my build log. I will post new pictures from today. I´m starting with placing of components on the main deck under the front top deck and top front deck installation.

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.
