Oh, dear. You have it bad. Fortunately there is no model intervention or recovery group in your area.

Bruce and Gary: there is no credit, which leads me to believe that the draught is actually in the Kriegstein Collection!

It seems Queen was a 'one off' Bately design, so there are no sister ships whose plans might be viewable. If the RMG (ex NMM) can't help, perhaps an enquiry to the Kriegstein brothers through their publisher might work.

Lovely work and attention to detail, Michael!

"Chacun à son gôut" - Each to their own taste. We build models to please ourselves. There is no absolute right or wrong. -
Consider using tick strips and divide the space with the strip laid flat - it's a lot easier! I gave up using compasses, dividers and proportional dividers years ago. Also, thread attached with white glue dots instead of battens are much, much easier to use. Check the planking tutorials on this site. for details.

Normally beams rest on the deck clamps. These are ledges that run longitudinally inside the frames. Beams are placed where needed to frame deck openings etc., and are independent of the framing. I recommend you look at either Londgridge's The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships, Goodwin's The Construction and Fitting of the Sailing Man of War 1650 -1850, or the series of books on the fully framed model by Antscherl.

A very nice model indeed. Maybe Chris would like to tackle a Thames barge sometime.

NAIAD 1797 by Bitao - 1:60

Lovely! -
Looks very nice, Siggi. Had you thought of painting the decorations on paper off the model and then gluing it on? Much easier than fighting gravity and getting into the inner corners!

HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56

Nice detail on the chain pump return tubes! -
Coming along well, Kevin. Hint: always rest a plane on its side. Sole down on the bench as in your photo leads to dulling the blade faster with grit and debris on the bench top.

Perhaps tone down the white a bit? Hard to tell from your photo - you might already have done that.

SOLEIL ROYAL 1669 by michel saunier
druxey replied to michel saunier's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
It is indeed sad that we have lost such a talent. I was wondering if another expert French model-maker might pick up the torch and complete this masterwork, if his family is amenable to the idea.

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.
