    Very nicely done, Valeriy! That is the nicest miniature shackle I've seen.

    Heat the needle holding it with tweezers!

    Another rot-reducing measure were holes bored into the beam ends for air circulation. A longitudinal hole was drilled into the end for about a foot or so, then another smaller hole bored up from under the beam to join it. The inner surfaces of the holes were then sealed using red-hot irons to char them. Be sure to include this detail!

    Love the details you are including! The barrel, the anvil, the cart....

    Always a pleasure to look in your progress, Gaetan.

    Completing that planking is a major achievement, Toni. Now roves at 1:48? Impressive! What kind of punch are you using?
  7. druxey
    Gummy gun barrels??? Carriages look nice.
  8. druxey
    Nice and messy looking! She sure looks well used.

    And it rained last night. Good timing, Alan! Gears look good.

    A jack screw. Of course!

    Beautifully detailed, Keith. Nice scratch moldings. My preference is to use pieces of old hacksaw blades, tempered, and file the profile in using watchmakers' screw slotting files and escapement files. Slower, but find I have more control and safety!

    I suspect that it was a rack and pinion device, such as pictured in Blankley's Naval Expositor (Hand Screws, page 70).

    The upper example (Dorsetshire, 1757) in Siggi's post shows what appears to be a drop pawl from the deck beam above to the lower capstan drumhead. It's a detail I've not seen elsewhere.

    The truth probably lies between the two extremes! Factor in the guns inboard as well, which are not so portable and omitted on your drawing.

    Thanks, Eberhard. It seems a good alternative to use instead of the tip-over rest. The T-slot in the table is an even better idea.

    I'm sure when not seen under macro-photographic scrutiny, the shells look terrific. BTW, does your graver holder just ride on the cross-slide?
  17. druxey
    The pump brakes had a square tenon and socket joint for easy uncoupling.
  18. druxey
    I believe that the pillars were removed and pump brakes unshipped when manning the lower capstan.
  19. druxey
    Great progress! Your model is looking terrific, Ilhan.
  20. druxey
    Yup!
  21. druxey
    Have you considered making your own sails?
  22. druxey
    Thank you for that, Steven!!!
  23. druxey
    A great start!
  24. druxey
    Welcome aboard, Lars. Looks like you are already pretty accomplished!
  25. druxey
    Lovely work so far, Allan!

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.
