    I continue making tops.
  2. marsalv
    Small adjustments to the masts, preparation of parts for the masts and tops - fishes, crosstrees, trestletrees, cheeks, caps.
  3. marsalv
    Hull is completed, so I started produktion of masts.
  4. marsalv
    Nice to see you again.
  5. marsalv
    Fantastic work!

    I finally finished installing channels, deadeyes and chains after a long time.
  7. marsalv
    Thank your guys for all likes and comments. I continue with channels.

    Very nice and clean work. I have a question. How is the blackening of brass achieved? Just painting it with tung oil? marsalv
  9. marsalv
    Deadeyes. Most modelers make deadeyes using a lathe. I tried a new method (at least for me) of production using a CNC milling machine.

    Thank you No Idea. The last decoration is added at the end of the mainrail and the head is completely finished. Next parts will be channels, chains, deadeyes etc.

    Thank you guys. I continue with seats of easy, filling peace (in front of the gammoning) and boomkins.
  12. marsalv
    Thanks for all comments and likes. The front part of the model is practically done except for a few details.
  13. marsalv
    Thank you guys. I continue with making of gratings - to be continued...
  14. marsalv
    Headrails.
  15. marsalv
    I continue with wash-cant beneath the lower cheeks and bolsters.

    To scrubbyj427: It is not possible to make all cuts in one pass. At first I tried to mill the figure gradually from all 4 sides - without much success. In the end, I decided to mill on only two sides and finish the details on the back and front by hand. I am satisfied with the result. Lower and upper cheeks.
  17. marsalv
    Now it's time to finish the head, so I had to start producing a long-delayed component - a figurehead. Making a figure using a CNC milling machine was quite a challenge for me. You can now judge the result.
  18. marsalv
    . Chesstrees, fenders and the side ladders.
  19. marsalv
    Forecastle guardrail is installed with iron stanchions. The stanchions for the gangway are double stanchions with a revolving branch.
  20. marsalv
    To bruce d: Yes, I did - see the picture on the page nr. 10. The last items on the quaterdeck - the stationary blocks and fixation of the tiller.
  21. marsalv
    Thank you guys for all the likes and nice comments. I continue with the installation of swivel guns.
  22. marsalv
    Lantern.
  23. marsalv

  24. marsalv
    Quaterdeck guardrail is completed.
  25. marsalv
    Stanchions and lower part of quarterdeck railings (sheer rail?).

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.
