    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.

    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.

    . Chesstrees, fenders and the side ladders.

    Forecastle guardrail is installed with iron stanchions. The stanchions for the gangway are double stanchions with a revolving branch.

    Thank you giampieroricci. I had the opportunity to see your L´Amarante model in Rijeka last year. Great model. L´Amarante will probably be my next model, so I will study your L´Amarante log afterwards. A few components on the quarterdeck have been added.

    To druxey: I'm almost ashamed to say this, but the elliptical frame is made with a CNC milling machine. To Dowmer: Hinges are made of a brass tube 1.0 / 0.2 (ie. the inner diameter is 0.6 mm). A groove with a length of approx. 0.6 mm is milled into this tube with a 0.5 mm milling cutter, the tube is then cut to a length of approx. 1.2 mm. The 0.5 mm brass nail (0.5 mm brass wire can also be used) is bent at a right angle and the nail is inserted into the tube so that it fits into the notch. This assembly is soldered with silver solder.

    Thank you guys. To Taner Yagci: This is line nr. 8 form the Plate 3 - Hull horizontal section - the widest part of the hull. I finished the belfry.
  22. marsalv
    I continue to produce parts of belfry.

    To Hsae: The square holes are made with small diameter milling bit (0,5 mm) and the rest with file. To popash42: I am using VCarve Desktop software for CNC milling. As regards Laser Engraver, I´m not sure, but the VCarve Desktop is propably not primarily intended for laser. You can find information on the optional laser add-on module on the Vectric website (https://www.vectric.com/products/laser-module). Pinrails.
  24. marsalv

    Thank you mtaylor. I continue with the beakhead bulkhead pinrail and knees.

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.
