    Thank you. Regarding perfect accuracy when flipping the stock over. Base material is milled to accurate block and XYZ datum is same for both sides of milling. Before flipping stock over small pocket was milled to machine table (wooden part) which assure perfect alignment. Machine is better version of 3020 model with some modifications for higher accuracy, but still bellow 1000 EUR. If you have any questions I will try to answer you, no problems. Thank you Heinz for nice words. Still learning but I am confident enough to do some work for others.

    Thank you. Will think about business , but need customers first Thank you. If you look at my first post there was no planning for CNC...a Few years later 4 axis is no problem. I started with simple 2D stuff and slowly progress to 3D.... If you have any questions or need help, please feel free to ask. Thanks Vene, I am glad you like it .

    After several attempts this is final result directly from the machine. Still need to do some fine polishing and corrections on parts and also redo the "scepter" due to small damage on part.
  31. SimonV
    Due to the small size of figure I decided to "break it down" to subassemblies. Will post some progress of actual machining...
  32. SimonV
    I must say that it is a true pleasure to follow your work Chris. Really high standards. All of the kits looks beautiful, but will wait for a frigate (my dream is still Bellona), because I still have a lot of work to do with the brig Mercury. Keep up good work!

    Thank you etubino. I am glad you like it .

    Hello everyone. I didn' abandoded this build... there are just other things in life (kids, other hobbies, buying a new appartment,...) Because I work in automotive industry as qulity controller and CNC in part of my work (coordinate measuring machine) I could not resist to most challenging part of this build- 4 axis milling of head figure. Currently I am still experimenting with different approaches , parameters, tools and will post progress...

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.
