    Closing the ship at the bow area by work on howse-timbers. A bit more fitting is needed but here is the progress.. Happy modelling..

    Thank you bdgiantman2, really much appreciated. My scratch build experience goes back to elementary school when I was making a small racing boat; during some "normal" elementary kids school fight, all boat frames were broken and I decided to give up boat building :-). Now, back into the scratch build again... Hopefully someone will learn something from my mistakes... I definitely will.. More sanding happening.... working on external hull.. there are some frames that would need a bit of alteration hopefully not visible at the end. For testing after sanding process, I will lay down one plank on the hull and see if frames fits nicely. I can see that frame 31 will need some work.. Happy modelling..

    Thanks Mike, Yup, it is very nice ship; regretting I had no much scratch build experience, this will be just beauty, but next one will be better...

    A bit of a carving... I found it easier to mark the lines, cut them with a saw and slowly carve the shape.. small amount of wood at a time.. Fitting test.. Now, lets add knee in the pictures.. Happy modelling

    Last, frame #1, was lightly sanded and glued to the ship.. Then, work on stern filling timber continues with glueing all parts.. Then I created a small template out of paper in attempt to follow keel curvature... Testing fitting after initial sanding Another template added to the filling Sanding, testing... Preparing for more carving work... Happy modelling.

    Frames are completed, time to get rid of not used templates. Now, I am working on stern solid filling timber, first, cut the template and glue it to the board. Cut and sanded.. and same templates glued to the back.. Marking it for shaping.. Here templates (white line) can be seeing on the back and front.. Start carving... first with the ends to make sure not to break the wood... must admit this wood (pear) is perfect for carving. Speaking of which, need to order few more boards.. then carving following the dotted lines.. Semi-end result... Next is a bit of sanding since my board is 6mm and I need 5mm.. I left a bit more wood to do final sanding/carving when board is 5mm thick.. Happy modelling..

    Work on floor timber chocks continue to break out a routine.. They will be sanded down to correct hight once I work on frame sanding. Happy modelling.

    Filling piece shaped and ready for installation... I care about environment so managed to recycle filling transforms from abandoned build.. https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/attachments/rochefort-00629-jpg.500505/?hash=5ca2d9b1523e743033206850a670cf5f Master carpenter arrived to check the progress... https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/attachments/rochefort-00631-jpg.500503/?hash=5ca2d9b1523e743033206850a670cf5f Happy modelling..

    Working on filling pieces.... first made a 15cm long stripe of wood and on its edge cut a groove 1x1mm, taking into account that filling pieces are not equal in hight, based on plan from plate #6. For example, this one has a groove on the bottom so I cut extra length.. .. put it in place.. .. mark its hight... .. and cut .. ... then with a small amount of glue, put in place between frames.. .. end results... not perfect... Keep into account the groove (or water channel) direction changes at frame #22.. Happy modelling..

    OK, here is a little update.... started to work on frames... No much to report... just cut, sand, fit, glue... Happy modelling..
  27. moreplovac
    Thank you all.... yes. I will always see those small "things" not quite right so better to start from scratch again. Still have some planks available but will need to get more for future parts... Have no plans for a "bad" hull at this moment, but will think of some usage, definitely will not warm me up in the winters :-).. I just like this little ship and want to have it as correct as possible..

    I have been quiet for a while; the main reason is my contemplating process re LR. I noticed few mistakes that I was not able to correct and that will be causing me more troubles as build continues, so I made executive decision to reuse all existing parts (only good one) and restart my build from scratch, which will make me more experienced scratch builder since I have a second build I can place in my pictures. And can pretend that I am working on two builds at the same time . For this I have a new keel done and most of frames completed as well. And previous experience... Happy modelling..

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.
