Plating one side, open the other, perhaps? -
Very, very impressive work, Valeriy! Such a beautiful finish to your metal surfaces as well.

Definitely out of the ordinary! -
I go away for two weeks and - you've completed her! An absolutely fabulous model, Rob. Hearty congratulations on the time, effort and research that you put in, in order to get this result. Well done indeed.

The drippings fall into the grease pan, not on the deck! A very nice result, B.E. Now I want to see a LED red glow from inside and a little smoke out of the chimney....

Great progress. Love the fleur de lys. Is it a photographic artifact, but in the overhead shots is the forward end of the port side main rail further forward than the starboard one?

With only 9% water in your isopropanol, the wood should not have changed dimension by much at all. If anything, water should have expanded the wood, not shrunk it! As you know, wood changes dimension far more across, not along the grain. So what you describe is illogical. My only thought is that the wood was not seasoned when originally put together, but the glue joints were strong enough to constrain the wood. Unlikely, of course, but what other explanation can anyone offer?

Extraordinary work at that scale. I'm sorry for the loss of your obviously very talented colleague, Eberhard.

Certainly it's a Herculean task at that scale, Marc. Looking very promising. Sorry to read that you had a second round with covid. Hopefully you will be healthy from here on.

In a naval ship, severe punishment would be meted out to any seaman polluting the bilges! -
You might wish to consider running the wood grain diagonally on the knees for better strength. The grain running along one arm of a knee means an inherent weak point at the throat of the knee. Looks great so far!

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.
