    Thanks for compliment. Belaying pins - at first I only intended to modify the belaying pins from the kit. Because I will need more of them, I decided to make my own. They are a little bigger, but at the first attempt it is not so bad.

    Thanks John, I´m glad you like my work Capsquares are now done, cannons are completed. I did not use guns from the kit, I replaced them with Amati guns.
  3. marsalv
    Gun carriages are completed.

    Hi sparow - I have sent you PM with answer. Second part of pictures - brackets.
  5. marsalv
    Thanks to all for nice comments Gun carriages - first part of pictures - axletree, truck and pins for truck fastening (I dont know the correct english word )

    Tarbrush - thank you for watching my log Today I wanted to post some photos of my home-made ropewalk and serving machine.

    Thanks for the encouraging comments. Proxxon equipment is not cheap, but allows the production of components very efficiently and reproducibly. Here are a few new pictures - window of great cabin.

    The rotary table for the mill is very useful accessory - I used it for the next part - the stairs.
  9. marsalv
    Rest of pictures.

    Some pictures from capstan production.

    I can not find words. Great idea, wonderfull result. I look forward to continuing.

    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.

    Hi all, thanks for nice comments. Work continues with two small doors.

    Hi sparrow, nice to see you again here. Your work on new decorations is really fabulous

    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.
  17. marsalv
    Lower deadeyes are mounted to the chanells - assembly is readdy for installation on the hull.
  18. marsalv
    Chanells with supports - I didn´t use plywood parts from the kit, but I made my own from pear strip.
  19. marsalv
    Decoration of the hull.
  20. marsalv
    Production of cleats.
  21. marsalv
    Modification of upper side ornaments.
  22. marsalv
    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.
  23. marsalv
    Hi David, thanks for compliment. Rear windows and gallery instalation.
  24. marsalv
    Thanks Steve. Next step - Installation of the side windows.
  25. marsalv
    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.

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.
