    Richard, Your model is very well done. Everything is clean and meticulous. Are the draught marks raised or flush with the hull ? have a nice day

    Ronald, It's simply beautiful. Clearly a reference, and also a genuine wish to built a model created by Chris Watton.

    Thanks, Ronald. To be honest, your hull is a reference. Your tips are welcome. The challenge is great because there isn't a second layer. 😉 Have a nice WE

    Bonjour à tous, The planking of the hull is progressing day after day, timber by timber. The stern and stem are really difficult. I used all my clamps! I try to stay quiet and be patiente...😮‍💨
  23. François de Saint Nazaire started following HMS Harpy 1796 by Richard44 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 , HMS Sphinx 1775 by brunnels - Vanguard Models - 1:64 scale and HM Bomb Vessel Granado by Jorez de Saint Nazaire (François) - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1:64

    Beautiful picture. The butts of the stem planks are strange, aren't they ?
  25. François de Saint Nazaire
    Thank you Chris. Don't forget your French followers 😉. For me, it will always be 'La Tourterelle' (The Original), even though I really like the novels by Patrick O'Brian.
  26. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello Chris, I confirm it's a pleasure to be backstage. Regarding the figurehead used for testing, I assume it's the original ? When you mentioned it matches the original, did you mean the one from La Tourterelle ? Thanks in advance.
  27. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello Chris Could you tell more about this project ? 😉 Is it a Stove from the 17th century or 18th century ? The arming and fitting of English ships of war, 1600-1815 by Lavery, Brian :
  28. François de Saint Nazaire
    Very good news for the "froggies"! I'm very interrested La Tourterelle : A 24-gun french frigate built in Honfleur and commissioned in May 1794. Displacing 350 tons with a length of 38.20 meters, she was captured by the British frigate HMS Lively off Cape Lizard on 13 March 1795. Renamed HMS Tourterelle, the corvette was sunk in 1816 to serve as a breakwater in Bermuda.
  29. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, The hull planking is in progress. There are still 14 strakes to go on each side, so the work could be finished in approximately one month. The garboard strake has been fitted. I taper and bevel all the strakes
  30. François de Saint Nazaire
    Thanks, Glenn, for your log with details. It is very kind of you to share your difficulties Bonne journée/ Have a nice day
  31. François de Saint Nazaire
    The book by Gilberto Penzo is very interesting. Another good reference is "Trabaccoli e Pieleghi" by Mario Marzari. There is also Bateaux et batellerie de Venise by G.B. Rubin de Cervin. And a book from Luciano Keber. the translation in french is not good !
  32. François de Saint Nazaire
    hello. I suggest to read the document "SIMPLE HULL PLANKING TECHNIQUES FOR BEGINNERS" link : ia902806.us.archive.org/28/items/boatbuildingmanual/hull planking project.pdf
  33. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, Thank you for sharing the pictures. Pavel Nikitin is clearly a strong reference. I'm curious, how did you achieve the color of the deck?
  34. François de Saint Nazaire
    Hello, I've started the planking process. The first two planking strips below the main deck are 4 mm wide, and the next four below them are 5 mm wide along their entire length. I'm installing one strip per day ! All planking strips are made from 1.5 mm x 5 mm strips. After the first six strips, the remaining strips will require tapering and shaping. @+

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.
