    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.

    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.

    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.

    While I'm waiting for the slats for the hull sheathing, I decided to make the stern port covers.

    I covered the upper part of the body. I used pear and black hornbeam.

    First, I make a chamfer on the strip with sandpaper, then I glue it.

    I place the slats close to each other. There is no distance between them. The slats have angles of 45 degrees, not 90. Maybe that is why it seems that there is a distance between them.

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.
