    Hi Nils, thank you for your nice reply. And this is how the result looks.

    Hi Albert, thank you for your nice comment, and all other for the likes. On the next picture collage the grinding of the mast can be seen. I do this with small boards on which sandpaper was glued. With the fingers you can regulate very fine the pressure. I hope I get a good result.

    That's right. At this length, the rod becomes more unstable in the middle, the thinner it becomes during processing. To prevent this, you need a backpressure. This is what I make sure by hand.

    Hi Giampiero, this has become a really very nice boat.

    Hi Nils, you're doing a great job.

    Hi Carl, the length is 50 cm and the diameter is about 18 mm. This works so far quite well until the part is round. The conical shape I produce by grinding.

    Hi Mark, your work is admirable.

    Hello, many thanks for all replies and likes! There was some time quiet in the model shipyard. Now I have started building the lower masts. According to the original I build the lower masts from individual parts. At least I try. Whether it works, will show. For this purpose, I have drawn up a simplified scheme. In the following I show a first attempt. Here I show the assembly of the main mast. And here I begin with the turning and grinding of the main mast. Continued coming soon ....

    Hello, many thanks for the nice comments and the LIKES. I still make and assemble the chain plates. Here I will briefly demonstrate the assembly of the chain plates. The correct length is determined as follows.

    Hello Nils, I am always surprised by the detail wealth.

    Hello Pawel, I am always excited about your work.

    Hello Albert, I always like your fantastic work. At some point I have to try it.

    Hello Ciampiero, I see your last work and am thrilled. The stern of the ship looks excellent and perfectly built. The beautiful details I admire. And the boat will also be a work of art.

    Hi Nils, very nice work!

    Hello Pawel, this is an excellent performance!!! I am always thrilled.

    Hello, thanks for the positive feedback. I'm still busy with the chain plates. Here are some pictures of the current state of the model building:

    Hello Mike, Jose, Albert and Ed, Thank you for your interest and the nice words. Many thanks also to the others for the LIKEs. Meanwhile, I made the different chainplate types. The next picture shows an already assembled chainplate.

    Fantastic work!

    Today I show bending aids for the production of chainplates. A complete chainplate I have made in advance to see how it works. Since the deadeyes have different diameters, the chainplates are also made with different wire thicknesses, namely 0.7 mm, 0.6 mm and 0.4 mm brass wire.
  22. archjofo
    Here I demonstrate the difference between the grinded and the not grinded holes of deadeyes. It is clearly recognizable. In this way, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
  23. archjofo
    Perfect details!
  24. archjofo
    Perfect and impressive work ! I love to see this wonderful model grow to a perfect example of such a model of an extreme clipper and bringing it to a perfect illusion, thank`s for that Ed !

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.
