    To PeteB: I used the black translucent paper for the caulking. The last stem decorations are added. All carvings are made with CNC milling maschine with small manual corrections.

    To Hubac´s Historian - Thanks for compliment. I still have some rest at the stern - decorations.

    Hi Siegfried, you can follow my next project here -
  4. marsalv
    Thank you Alex M, I have to say I learned many things from you. Forecastle and quarter deck beams preparation - hatchway openings, capstan steps and mast wedges.
  5. marsalv
    Hatchways.

    Thank you guys for all likes and nice comments. The next task on the gundeck were trunks (or chests?).
  7. marsalv
    Thank you guys🙂. Completion of the interior of the cabins.

    To the learner - The basis is a wooden plate into which depressions are milled and holes for nails are drilled. A cotton pad (a make-up cotton pad that I borrowed from my wife) is glued to the plate prepared in this way. Push the cotton into the recess with the end of the brush nozzle. Glue any suitable cloth and push the material into the recess again. Finally, thread the nails with small heads through the cloth and cotton into the holes in the wooden board, glue and cut. Glue the ends of the fabric over the edges of the wooden board and you're done. Inner bulkheads - continuation part two.

    Mattress.

    Inner bulkheads - continuation part one.

    Thank you guys for all your comments and likes. To scrubbyj427: I am using CNC maschine made by China, these maschines are avaiable worldwide (see the picture). I started works on inner bulkheads.
  12. marsalv
    To isalbert: Yes, I am using the cnc milling maschine for some works. "Side windows".
  13. marsalv
    Scrubbyj427 - I am using pear wood (steamed and not steamed - different color) and black hornbeam. Completion of the quarter gallery.
  14. marsalv
    Some moldings are added to the quarter galleries.
  15. marsalv
    Thanks🙂. I completed planking of the quarter gallery.
  16. marsalv
    Thank you guys🙂. I continue with rudder´s well and lockers.
  17. marsalv
    Ceiling in the wardroom and quarter gallery´s access door.

    To Oliver1973 - The holder for Proxxon vice is selfmade (not my production). I continue with rear windows (lights?).
  19. marsalv
    Tnak you guys. To No Idea: I have one Proxxon milling maschine, I only added electronic control to the x-axis. As for accuracy I agree with Derek. Some stern improvements.
  20. marsalv
    Completation of rudder.
  21. marsalv
    Rudder.

    Thank you guys for your feedback. My experience with hand carving is minimal and not very good. Therefore, the use of CNC milling maschne for carvings seemed to be the only possible solution. But even the actual production of cnc carvings requires knowledge of several computer programs to create a 3D model and prepare data for the CNC milling machine. So it's not just about turning on cnc and waiting. Answer to scrubbyj427 - CNC maschine is small maschine made in China, but so far I'm satisfied. Now some new pictures - stem.
  23. marsalv
    Thank you guys for nice comments. Scrollwork and moldings are done with CNC milling maschine. The same situation is for the parts on next pictures. All carvings are made with CNC. It is likely that some of you will condemn this process, but you will not stop technical progress. I would be quite interested in your opinion on the use of modern techniques for creating carvings.
  24. marsalv
    Carved sternrail.
  25. marsalv
    Thank you guys. Answer to Glenn: The groove is made so that you only have to push the plank into the groove. For sure, however, it is still glued with double-sided tape. I started work on stern - moulding rails.

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.
