    Hello, thanks again. The lower masthead of the foremast is finished.

    Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in my work report. I am very happy about the nice comments as well as the LIKES. Today I show the progress on the foremast:

    Hello Doris, it's nice to see progress from your fantastic model.

    Hello, thanks for your interest and the LIKES. Today I show you the completion of the main mast. The fontfish, the cheeks and the mast hoops were attached. Lastly, an annular holder for belaying pins still has to be made. Each mast receives one of these holders. Per holder requires 10 pieces of belaying pins, thus a total of 30 pieces. This holder is built according to a drawing from the Atlas du Genie maritme, Plate 234, as seen on the following excerpt.

    Hello Nils, I have studied your new model building project. I will continue to accompany it with great interest.

    Hello Patrick, this is a wonderful model. I admire this work. I also carved a figure as a scale comparison. It is a good thing that you have decided to present your craftwork here.

    @JOUFF Hello Patrik, this tool was turned from a brass rod on a lathe. The retaining pins are made of old drills, for example 0,5 mm, since they have corresponding strength. The holes for the retaining pins have to be performed very accurately, otherwise the dead eyes wobbles.

    @JOUFF Hello Patrick, sorry, I did not quite understand. The tool I have brought into shape with Proxxon Corundum Cutting Discs, as shown in the figure below. I hope I could help you.

    Hello Patrick, I described the production of the dead eyes here LINK in my report. If you have any specific questions, I will gladly answer them.

    @Siggi52 Hello Siggi, thank you for your interesting information and the pictures. Before the construction of La Creole I was not aware that already in the 18th and 19th century ships were equipped with lightning conductors. @All Tanks for the nice comments and LIKES.

    Hello, Thanks to all for the interest and the nice comments. To finish the lower masts I have to make the iron bands. This I made from strips of brass sheet 0.3 mm. To attach the frontfishes there are two-piece hoops.

    Hello, today I show you only the result to the finished caps.

    Hello Kurt, first of all thank you for your interest in my building report. I'm trying to bring a structure in my work and plan the individual steps. However, not always successful. My construction report, however, is essentially a record of the work done.

    Hi Thomas, thank you for your nice comment. Thanks to all the others for the LIKES. In the meantime I made the fittings for the Mainmast cap. After all, these are a total of 30 parts. The other pictures show the finished Mainmast cap in different views.

    Fantastic work!

    Hi Ed, I am always amazed at your perfect way of working. Work preparation with drawings and then precise implementation are already remarkable.

    Hi Nils, a nice way to end a wonderful project.

    I'm impressed!

    Fantastic Work!

    Hello, thank you for the comments and, of course, for the LIKES as well. Today, I present a small update. The cap for the Mizen mast and the Cheeks still had to be equipped with fittings. Here are some pictures. I hope you like them..
  23. archjofo
    Hello, thanks to all for the attention and kind comments. In the meantime, I made the cheeks for the masts. For the Mizen Mast they are ready made.

    Hi Karl, your wood frame work is remarkably good. I admire this.
  25. archjofo
    Hi Ed, your metalwork is very admirable, but not only this.

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.
