    Thank you guys. To Mike Y - chuck on Proxxon mill is PM 40 (No. 24260 in Proxxon catalog). The milling bitts are selfmade. In this moment is about 560 blocks finished, it remains to complete a few atypical blocks.

    Thank you for all nice comments. The figurehead is made from modeling clay. Because I am not good im sculpting from clay I asked Doris and she made for me this beautiful figurehead (her work you can see here - http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?hl=doris).Thank you Doris once more . So, after long break I continue with production of the rigging blocks. Blocks are made with method that comes from russian modelers.

    Omar CS, Albert - thanks . Another part of build - chains for deadeyes. All parts are made from brass with silver soldering.

    Hi Albert, today I discovered your log. I have to say only one word - amazing .
  12. marsalv
    I decided to make my own deadeyes. And here is the result.

    Michael, thank you for nice comments. Greg, it is not made with CNC machine, only freehand. It is very difficult to explain it with my bad english. You can see the small pin on the first picture which serves as stop. I only move with wooden part from one side to the other, pin follows the shape of the wood. You have to go with wood part against pin twice - milling bitt is either in position 1 or in position 2.

    Thank you guys . To Greg: The moldings isn´t done with scraper, it is made with milling bitt - the same method I used for standard production (see pictures in this contribution) Small step forward - installation of chanells.

    Hello, this kit was produced by company Igra in former Czechoslovakia (now Czech republic). I built this model many many years ago and model is not good. best regards Vladimir

    After longer break I am ready to continue. Instalation of port lids.
  19. marsalv
    Thank you guys . To wyzwyk: the netting is made from YLI quilting thread (http://www.ylicorp.com/product.aspx?PID=63304a0f-0bb5-4b6d-8d39-4ddb657a3c6a&SCID=783065c6-9646-4430-afa0-3911b032b4f4), colour nr. Lt. Brown 21100003. Galion is done, so I went into the port lids and their hinges.
  20. marsalv
    Thank you for nice comments . I added a few details to the galion - boomkin and berthing rail with head netting.
  21. marsalv
    Thanks guys . Last part of galion is done - cathead supporter + eking rail.For this piece, I had the greatest fear because it is curved in all three planes. In the end it was not quite that bad (the previous head timbers gave me a hard time considerably more). I am glad I have this complicated part behind me.
  22. marsalv
    Thank you Dirk and Mark. Today only small progress - shot garlands and seats of ease.
  23. marsalv
    Thank you albert and wyzwyk. Instalation of simplified head timbers.
  24. marsalv
    Than you Albert. Lower rails and gratings.
  25. marsalv
    Thank you Tom, but the reality is not so simple as the photos show . I attached the false rails, main rails are installed on the model.

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.
