    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.

    I still have all the drawings for this model. This, if anyone needs it. Frames are drawn in Сorel.

    It's time for decor. Almost every element was redrawn and redone several times. It looks good on the computer, but when I cut it out of wood, I didn’t like it at all.

    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.

    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.

    There are more bindings on the museum model than on the blueprints, so I did a lot of bindings.
  21. KarenM
    There is also a museum model.
  22. 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

    I drew the decor on a computer, then cut it out on a cnc machine. Then I finished it by hand.

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.
