    To Dziadeczek: The used wood for deck planking is maple.

    Thank you guys for answering daniel.b question and for the compliment my work too. Forecastle deck planking on the pictures is before waxing. After waxing get the wood little bit yellowish color so the contrast between maple and pear is not so big. On the other hand, I must say that on uncolored models, the color contrast of different types of wood is very important. Otherwise, the model is too dull from my point of view.

    To stuglo: I got this device from a friend, but the equipment was made to order by another company. So I have no way of getting another one. I´m sorry. Installation of guns. It remains to complete the side nd train tackles.

    I installed the anchor ropes before the front of the deck will be covered.

    Glenn, thanks for your warm comment. The charcoal stoves are done.They are made of etched parts, so their assembly was not so difficult. Making tripods was much more complicated and demanding. But I am satisfied with the result.
  16. marsalv
    Baker´s oven. Two more charcoal stoves remains to be made. It will be quite a challenge at this scale.

    Druxey, you're right. But no one would say how much time these details will take. I continue with the roof of the galley. Due to the small space, I simplified the attachment of the roof a bit (this detail will not be very visible in the final).
  18. marsalv
    Thank you guys for all nice comments and likes. A few details added to the galley.
  19. marsalv
    To Jorge Diaz O - I used the colored linseed oil with wax. To allanyed - For me, saving time won over saving money . Galley.
  20. marsalv
    Completing the blocks, "special" blocks will be made later.
  21. marsalv
    I started making blocks. Unlike Pandora, where the blocks were made using home-made milling bits, the blocks are now completely made using a CNC milling machine. The remaining photos will be in a few days.
  22. marsalv
    Just a few details today - staghorns, ringbolts, breeching ropes.
  23. marsalv
    Assembly of guns.
  24. marsalv
    Completion of gun-carriages, now all that remains is to attach the cannon barrel.
  25. marsalv
    To Dowmer - all cannons are made by hands (it means with no CNC feature or replicator) Preparation of parts for the production of gun-carriages.

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.
