    Hi Greg, this all looks fantastic, really great work.
  2. Tobias
    Hello Dieter @Nersch , Mark has done a fantastic job so far and serves as a role model for me too. Adrian @a.sorolla your book is worth its weight in gold and is always in use. Thanks for the hint.

    Thank you GD, from the German forum I was told Nüsterlöcher - (also: "Nüstergat") holes in the lower frames through which the water can flow to the bilge
  4. Tobias
    Hi Mark I mean the recess at the bottom of the frames, unfortunately I do not know the correct name. In this recess is also often a chain installed to loosen larger debris and to ensure that the brackish water can run to the pumps.

    Hello fellow model builders, the last few days have been fine tuning and today I milled the water groove in the frames. Tools used Ruler and pencil for marking, a rasp and a dremel with a round head router.

    After I sanded the hull, I started the interior work.
  7. Tobias
    In the last 2 days I've gotten the hull in shape a bit. The finishing touches are still missing. Thanks for your interest.

    Hello John, thank you. I came to MSW through Ed Tosti and his amazing Naiad protocol. It's the research that keeps you from just being in one forum. @albert, @No Ideaor you Johann and many others are inspirational for me. I'm also on the road in the French forum to get as much information as possible. Of course you also want to show your model and it's a great feeling when you like it and it's well received.

    First of all I want to thank you for all the likes and the comments, much appreciated. I had found some time in the last two days to continue building on La Palme. It's a minor update. Thanks again for the encouragement and your feedback.

    Hello Albert, I envy your craftsmanship. Naiad has been a dream, I'll stay tuned to see the progress.

    Hello everyone, the nailing is done. In the next few days I will continue on Le Rochefort. Both on a scale of 1:36, here is a picture of both ships together.

    Hello Mark, a beautiful interior, as usual, very precise and clean work, your barrels fit very well in the hold.
  13. Tobias
    A little progress 2282 holes have been drilled and approx. 1400 nails have already been set. Now I still have the last frames 32-52 ahead of me. I'm sorry that there aren't too many updates at the moment, but I've started another project as you can see in the picture. Both in 1:36 scale

    Mark your work is of the highest accuracy and subtlety, it pleases not only you but also me. It was just a thought process on my part. I am curious about the result with the shellac.

    Hi Mark it is once again a fantastic work. Almost a little too perfect, please excuse me I do not want to complain and hope you do not get it wrong. Your precision is so fine that you can't see the individual boards of the pump well and it looks like it is one big area. I know this too well, if I may suggest the following what I have already done in such a case is that I have slightly touched the individual boards to visually highlight the individual boards. Something like this:

    Hello Matiz it is always fantastic to see your progress and with what accuracy you work. I have a question, in one of your pictures I saw a milling machine in the background. I can't make out the cross table unfortunately, what brand do you have there and are you happy with it. I also have the Proxxon stand and also use the cutter from AMB.

    At the moment I come a little less often to La Palme because I have started with Le Rochefort on the side. The first tree nails have found their place. First I wanted to make the nail picture with brass pins, however, I was not sure and have asked precaution at GD. Now it will be tree nails. The first attempt was it with walnut wood this seemed to me but too dark, now I make them in pear and maple. I treated a small area with sanding primer to see how it worked. Sanding primer what is it, It is now used by some Europeans and is nothing more than a colorless primer for wood which gives a very nice Finnish. Apply 1 time and work with steel wool and then apply again and polish with 400 sandpaper. Unfortunately, I have learned from colleagues in America that there is no such thing there. Attached are pictures of the product and the Finnish of a colleague. Image source R. Eschker http://www.eschker-modellbau.de/Home

    Hi Mark fantastic work as always.

    Hi Greg you have come a long way since my last visit, great progress that looks excellent.

    Hello Peter, that's a pity to hear, I only read this paragraph. If you want, I can get in touch with Frank. We ship our items worldwide from Russia to New Zealand - from England to Canada.
  21. Tobias
    Hello Peter it is sad to hear such news. As far as wood is concerned, a supplier from Germany would be OK for you, he delivers worldwide and he has cherry. That would be the link. https://modellbau-holz.jimdo.com/

    I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

    Hello Mustafa once again an admirable work you show us.
  24. Tobias
    The first weapons find their place.

    Oliver it's amazing every time.

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.
