	Good afternoon to all. For a long time, I didn't have the opportunity to continue what I started, but now things are moving forward:). Colleagues! On this quiet and not-yet-late evening, I have decided on the next steps in my shipbuilding project. The next step is the rough sheathing of the ship's hull. Due to the lack of free time, the speed of the ship's assembly has slowed down. Before starting work, I dismantled the ship's hull from the display stand. It has become inconvenient to firmly attach the model, so I suggest building it in a foam box. It's relatively soft so as not to spoil the model. All the preparatory work is completed, it's time to start. Before starting the cladding, we arm ourselves with… Wood material linden rail 5x2x50mm. Wood material birch rail 5x2x30mm. from the magazine set from Diagostini. Tools and consumables Nails 10x0.7mm Nailing tool Mini drill + 0.7mm drill bit PVA glue (red) Wood flour Iron Rack soaking bottle Shlivmashina + renovator Sandpaper, sponge, bar. A knife for cutting rails. The motor for narrowing the slats. I started roughing the hull. A) Fitting the slats on the model body, marking with a pencil from where the rail needs to be narrowed. Marking with a pencil the location of the nails in the projection of the frames. Next, I made holes with a 0.7 mm drill bit and narrowed the rail on a sandpaper. C) Soak in hot water for 10' - 15' When soaking the rails, there is a problem that there is no container in which you can place the rail completely, but in my case, it is not necessary to soak the rail completely, in this case, I soak in a glass bottle from under beer. In order to avoid cracking and breaking of the rail in places of sharp bends. You can also bend over steam. G) Once again, I try it out how it fits on the body, and if everything is satisfactory, I apply PVA glue to the rail and immediately attach it with nails. Since the nails are very small and it is inconvenient to hammer them in, it is best to use a nailer. I have such a tool in my arsenal. After that, the work went much faster. However, a small hammer should always be on hand, as it may be necessary to finish the nail. D) I remove the excess glue, especially on the end of the attached rail, using a cloth and then a knife. If there is a gap between the slats, it must be filled with glue and wood flour. And so 10 rows are made. I cleaned the body a little from the glue, but I haven't polished it properly yet. I used sandpaper, a block, a grinder, and finally an emery sponge. This manipulation allows you to evaluate the work more accurately. After that, I move to the other side and do the same. The most difficult part is bending the front slats, as they require careful attention. The middle and rear slats are much easier to bend. I am confident that our model will last a long time. The model is not cheap. Each modeler invests a lot of time, money, and effort into it. It is primarily a reminder of the present, which is unfortunately fleeting.

	Yo-ho, rookies! Here is our old vessel 2021, finally caught up with this new shining ship with a tiger on the flag! And let Neptune urinate on the one who misses him! We have run out of grog for a long time, and the holds of 2022 are full and waiting for looting! It's time to gut him in search of profit and let everyone find everything he needs: dating, travel, credits and awards, new achievements and, most importantly, time to achieve all his goals! And there's plenty of time in these holds, by the Dutchman's anchor! A thousand devils, put aside the talk, it's time to capture this frigate. Hey, crew! On board! Hang the rats on the yards! No one will leave us in the ocean of Life! Happy New Year! 😁

	Work on the case. I am currently working on the hull of the ship, or rather preparing for the rough skin. After filling the spatula with balsa and partially peeling it off, I found this problem. I am not satisfied with the contours of the hull in the bow of the ship. I think this is another surprise from Deagostini. The contours of the body can be clearly seen from afar, for example, look from the side, where the line is clearly outlined. These lines from different sides determine the shape of the ship's hull. The bow part should be different from the stern part as they perform different tasks. The aft part has various devices, for example, a rudder, which ensures the maneuverability of the vessel, the bow part must solve other tasks, so that the vessel does not break into a wave... According to the first photo of my ship, the contours of the hull are almost identical. And this can be seen in the form of a sinkhole in the bow. I don't want my ship to have the same contours. I will strive to rectify this situation. And by the way, there is something to focus on. That's why my next video is dedicated to this particular problem. God help me.😇

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.
