    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.

    Thanks for all comments and likes. The front part of the model is practically done except for a few details.

    Headrails.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Main ladder hood.

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.
