    In order to make holes in the deck for the masts, I had to make the masts first.

    I have a question, what kind of door handles were on ships in the 1660-1670s?

    General view of the ship.

    I've made all the gratings and ladders. I'll sew up the middle of the deck with slats and take on the guns.

    The steering wheel control lever works.

    On the lower deck, I decided to make the gun carriages without wheels. They will need to be glued well so that they do not accidentally come off. When I glue the deck with slats, it will be impossible to get to these guns.

    The rudder feather fell into place

    Made a rudder feather. Soldered the hinges from wire.

    I am tired of hitting wire with a hammer to make loops for ports. I bought myself this unit. Now the wire is flattened very quickly and very quietly.

    I pierce the inside of the gun port covers with copper nails.
  12. KarenM
    I glue the hinges to the port cover and hammer in copper nails made from copper wire.

    Then I blacken the loops with a chemical liquid.

    Then I drill holes for the nails.

    Then I bend it into a loop.

    Started making hinges for gun port covers. First, I flatten the copper wire with a hammer.

    I spent 120 slats on the hull plating below the barhouts

    I put 2000 wooden nails into the side of the ship. I put wooden nails into the light wood, and copper nails into the black wood. I also make gun ports.

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.
