    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, very good work. Do you have a form for the boats, or how were they built? I hope I have not overlooked anything.

    HI Albert, this is absolute top model construction! I'm excited. How long do you build on this model?

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

    @all Many thanks for your interesst und the LIKES. Here is my interpretation of the Bolsters on the trestle trees. This gives an optimal support for the shrouds. Thanks to Dirk @Dubz for this. He gave the decisive hint. And here we continue with the top for the foremast. The following two pictures show the basic structure of a top.

    Hello, meanwhile, I have completed the assembly of the top of the main mast. On the first picture all parts to see. The second picture shows how to make holes with the 0.3 mm drill. On the last picture the mounted top can be seen.

    Hello Albert, Jim, Greg, Carl and Thomas, thanks for the kind words, and all others for the LIKES. @ dvm27 Hi Greg, I use these saw blades. It is also important that the saw blade have 32 teeth.

    Thanks to all for the interest in my report. In the meantime, I have made some progress on building the top of the main mast. Currently, I'm going to make the supports for the railing.

    @ jose_b Yes that's right. This small wooden part serves as a guide and has exactly the distance corresponding to the perforation of the gratings.

    Hi Albert, many thanks. Here is a brief update:

    Hello, Ed and Carl, thanks for the nice compliments and all others for the LIKES. The floors of tops at La Creole consist of grätings. Here I show some pictures of the production. Furthermore I show how I make the frames for the tops.

    Thank you, Albert! Here is an update on the construction of the masts and topmasts. On the first picture is to see how I just made the hole for the sheave of the top ropes. The next picture shows the topmast heel with the fidhole and the fid. On the last picture, the components are provisionally composed.

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.
