    Frames, bars on the windows I draw in autocad or in corel. Then I cut it out on a CNC machine from wooden dies of different thicknesses. I draw the decor in 3dmax, then cut it out on a CNC machine and bring it to the final with a drill. For guns I make a master model from wood, then I cast it from tin. Then all the copper is electrolyzed and then blackened with a chemical solution. It's so hard to describe everything in detail. If you have specific questions, write, I will answer. I twist the ropes for rigging on a special machine, which was made for me according to my drawings. For tying blocks, always caged ropes. I also check the first shrouds and all the loops that touch the spars.

    Since there was no spars in the book, I made it according to the book "The rigging of the ships in the days of spritsail topmast 1600-1720"

    I found another photo of the stern decor before installation on the ship.

    Thank you. In general, this is my first such complex model with a lot of decor.

    I came up with the decor on the stern myself, because I didn’t understand what was really there.

    At first I wanted to carve it in its entirety, but it seemed to me difficult and I made it in two parts. Front and back. Then glued.

    Made a Roman for the stern.

    The railing for the stairs was made of copper wire. He flattened it with a hammer, then bent the details of the stairs out of it. Then inked and painted with gold paint. Then I wiped off the gold paint in some places with a rag.

    It is already clear what kind of ship will turn out in the end

    I made the eagle in three parts. I glued the body separately, and then adjusted both wings.

    All decor is made and boxwood. I made the body out of pear. I modeled the decor in 3Dmax, then cut it on a cnc machine. With my hands, I modified a little after the cnc machine. When the decor was ready, I covered it with tung oil. The oil hides small problems in the decor. After 2 weeks, I covered it with bituminous varnish. I diluted the bituminous varnish very strongly with a solvent, then applied it to the decor with a brush. Almost immediately rubbed the decor on top with another brush. The decor turned out to be dark in the recesses, and light on the protruding parts.

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.
