    Hi Siggi52 Thank you for providing these good photos of NMM model. However, as far as we can see, the position which you marked of the 'floor-line' is not accurate. Referring to the position of rail, the floor of the lower stool is indeed higher than the rail, considering that the beam will a little dropped from middle- line to it's end, the floor near frame will more higher than the rail. And don't worry about the internal space is not high enough, because the floor of the upper stool is also raised, and you can see that the floor is very thin,it's looks only 2" or 2 1/2". I personally think that the floor of the lower stool is higher than the rail, may be same as the upper deck, or it may be slightly lower than the upper deck, but it is as high as the upper deck at the rear rail. Also, I think the model's has been simplified. I don't believe that it will be carved out of a whole piece of wood,except Drop, the floor will be planked. HJX

    Hi everyone! Maybe garyshipwright is referring to this? I found a draught of 3rd rate 64gun. The minimum measurement of this height is about 13 1/2", which is almost 34.3cm. It really needs a step or ladder to ensure safety. It's a tricky problem,there seems to be no model or book ever mentioned here with steps or ladders... I will refer to Franklin's model to simplify this part - the so-called 'gray-zone'. HJX

    It's really great, high quality resin castings are what many modelers expect,can't wait to see hull's planking in next step. Jack

    Nice work Martes. Seeing your work, I recall that a few years ago, I was very obsessed with 3D modeling and game engine, especially the following real-time naval game scenarios. Some screenshots from game, very gorgeous scenes... I used to use Unity or UE4 engines to simulate the 18th century frigate naval battles.However, many aspects beyond my ability, especially C language and dynamic seawater (sea water plus special effects), need professional learning, so I can only give up later, now I focus on 3D modeling and CNC programming and processing, because for me, making naval games seems to be a dream, but 3D modeling and CNC programming / processing seems more realistic.

    I'm also looking forward to appreciating high-quality planking.

    It looks very delicate and beautiful.

    Very spectacular and gorgeous warships!

    Hello I remember you have studied Belle Poule in another post? Of course you have good drawings of Ancre now. I happened to see a draught of NMM, the text of ' 1810 ...As taken off...' was marked on it. I don't know if it means that the drawing was drawn in 1810, but it was when she was captured. Jack

    Hi every one! I'm glad that Mr. Chuck allowed me to participate in his KIT development, and thank you so much for the helpful advice from so many enthusiastic members...I'm really working with British model companies, which have obtained written licenses of commercial development from NMM . I can tell you a little more that there are two projects under development, one is the 50gun in the 17th century, the other is the 74gun in the 18th century, both of which are British ships, NMM style. At present, one project has entered the stage of 3D modeling. When I complete the modeling of this model, it will enter the validation of the actual model immediately. Several ship model experts participate in the design of this project, and there will be ship model masters to participate in the validation of the actual model. The design software used in the design process, as well as 3D sculpture software, and CNC programming software（CAM) are legal and obtain commercial license. Thank you again, MSW Forum and Mr. Chuck.

    Hi Albert Great victory, great project, deep respect and best wishes for you! HJX

    Indeed, it would be tempting to buy a CNC/Laser Engraving/3d Printing Multifunctional Machine for just $299. I once wanted to buy a similar machine. The cheapest CNC engraving machine in China is only $70, and the cheapest laser engraving machine is about $42. I know you've been focusing on CNC equipment... My personal experience is that for making ship models or other models, , there （in China）will be at least about $700 -Does not include any software and computers.. Compared with ebay's , it will cost about $950, only three axes,800w motors.And this kind of machine can not be used for high-intensity processing, such as for Kit production.

    In my experience, this kind of machine is only toy-level, or just for "Study", which is not suitable for model making. 3D printing is OK, laser can not cut more than 0.5mm, that is to say, can only leave a marking line on the board, but can not cut the board. The function of CNC is very weak. Can not cut more than 5 mm board, and the accuracy and stability is not enough, in Chinese website known as the "toy engraving machine".

    Museum excellent ship model, great!

    wow! Powerful modeling, beautiful ship.

    This will be another great work.

    Hi ben752 On NMM original drawing(Atalanta J4428), the head of sternpost is not marked clearly(maybe), if it happens to be under the lower edge of gundeck,see following pic The data of steel' is 1 ' 2",and the 1' 2 1/2 "is the measured value on the graph- to the inside of the" cover ".1’ 1 1/2" is the measured value of the head on graph--But I adopted the extension line, so there will be some deviations.I used 1' 3" because I didn't go deep into it. I suggest you need to prepare a data sheet, Just as Mr. David suggested me before. In addition, I am very curious, how do you determine the center of the arc of the stempost, I found the data in the data sheet about stem center."Above the upper edge of the rabbet"-13' 7 1/2",but I could not locate the horizontal positioning. Thanks. HJX

    wow! Museum excellent ship model!

    Nice work!Beautiful ship model!

    nice rendering!

    Hi Anthony Nice work! I just saw it, a very good reference. Thank you!
  21. Jack H
    A very good reference for making French 74 guns（even for my L'Artesien 64 guns),thank you Tiziano!
  22. Jack H
    As always, the high level of ship model.
  23. Jack H
    If a lack of historical pictures or objects, the description of historical documents is a credible way. It's undeniable that the reference picture you sent is very spectacular,but if without the description from NMM, I'm more confident that the figurehead would not be so complicated-except 1st rate or XXX royal .Because of the evolution from 17th to 19th Century,the battleship became more and more concise on sculptures.And it's rarely seen that the limbs will excessive unfold-wing and horse's hoof .It is foreseeable that it will be a beautiful and spectacular figurehead,even I have an impulse to make it.

    Hi Alan O'Neill I think it is necessary for you to consider the position of ...,so maybe you have to use the full side view of bow?

    neat and tidy,nice work Albert!

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.
