    Hello, thanks to all, for your attention. After finishing the tops, I continue with the royal masts. The French Corvette had a weathervane on every royal mast. Here are some pictures: Whether this corvette also had lightning conductors is in this context quite a legitimate question.

    Hi Jim, Thank you for your interest in my work. Yes, I have to squeeze the metal strop a little.

    Hello Albert, Thanks, and everyone else for the LIKES. Meanwhile, I made the futtock shroud plates for the tops of the foremast and the mizzen mast. The difference between the deadeyes of the top of the foremast and that of the mainmast is barely recognizable (0.2 mm), yet it is important to me.

Furthermore, I produced the royal cross trees for the formast and the mainmast. I hope the pictures explain everything so far.

    Hello Doris, it is amazing how exactly you work. You have developed your technique to the highest level. It is unique, I know nothing comparable. Please do not let us wait too long until the report continues.

    I am very happy about your interest in my building report. To all thank you for it. Today only a picture of the finished top of the main mast.

    Hello Carl, thank you for your very nice comment. But my works are still not perfect. I only take pictures of the perfect details ... In the meantime, I made the topmast deadeyes and futtock shroud plates for the top of the main mast. Here are some pictures of how I did it. The parts are brazed.

    Hello, the construction of the tops is completed. I will soon continue with the completion of the masts.

    Here I continue the photo documentation to build the mizzen-tops:

    @noel_colledge No of course not. These are so-called hatagane - these are Japanese bar clamps. These delicate clamps allow finely-fitted small and delicate work pieces to be clamped for fitting and glueing. Here LINK I bought them.

    To make the mizzen-top I show a series of pictures.

    Hello Mike this is an extremely clean model construction work. I'm excited.

    Hello Doris, It is a great pleasure that you are back with a great model building project. I am very happy about it. Again a wonderful model construction project, which I can follow with great interest. I admire your art to create these beautiful models.

    Hello, thanks for the nice comments. Short update:

    Hello Thomas, Hello Carl, many thanks for the interest and the nice words. Also thank you to all for the LIKES. Here is an update: The wood processing for the top of the foremast is finished. Now the fittings are made.

    @druxey Thank you for the kind words. And here, continue with the report: The Grätings for the top of the foremast are ready for installation. Fitting in the frame is very carefully carried out. The size difference between the tops of the foremast and the mainmast can be seen here.

    Hi Nils, thanks for the reply and explanation.
  20. archjofo
    Hi Nils, very good work. Do you have a form for the boats, or how were they built? I hope I have not overlooked anything.
  21. archjofo
    HI Albert, this is absolute top model construction! I'm excited. How long do you build on this model?
  22. archjofo
    Hello Hartmut, You really did a good job!

    Hello Giampieroricci, a great metalwork!

    Hello Greg, here are two images of drilling a 0.6 mm hole in the ball of the stanchions.

    Hello Greg, I'll take a picture of it.

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.
