    Yes, 20 years ago I made the first model. Since then, I spend all my free time only on ships.

    Actually this is my third big ship. Before that I built BON HOMME RICHARD and HMS BELLONA.

    Then I made the next deck.
  4. KarenM
    Decorated under the balcony. It was not on the drawings, but I saw it on other models, and therefore decided to do it.

    As far as I understood, McArdle drew drawings from the museum model, and not from the modern one. As I understand it, at that time, large-sized glasses could not be made. Therefore, it will be correct to make small squares on the windows.

    Here are a couple more photos where you can clearly see the windows at the stern.
  8. KarenM
    There are more bindings on the museum model than on the blueprints, so I did a lot of bindings.
  9. KarenM
    There is also a museum model.
  10. KarenM
    I made according to the drawings of the author of the book.

    I also cut the grille for the windows on a cnc machine
  12. KarenM
    I drew the decor on a computer, then cut it out on a cnc machine. Then I finished it by hand.

    Then I began to make the stern of the ship. I redid it 3 times. I didn't like the result.

    I put the guns on the deck, now I can sew it up with boards
  18. KarenM
    Then I started making guns. At first, the master made a model from wood. Then I made a silicone mold with it. And then I started casting cannons out of tin. Then I electroplated the cannons with copper and blackened them.

    Put the pumps on the deck and began laying the next deck.
  23. KarenM
    Thank you
  24. KarenM
    I cover with oil inside and out to the same level.
  25. KarenM
    At the same time, I cover the outside with oil to the level of this deck

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.
