    Limber boards and main mast step:

    I reinforced the frames that tended to detach in the upper part: The stemson: the keelson: The limber strakes:

    first roughing:

    after some time I have completed the laying of all the frames:

    a few more frames:

    I placed a few more frames. In this type of carpentry to be able to set up a frame it takes a lot of time! To give the structure more solidity, I thought of using some steel nails placed transversely at the base of the frames:

    and with this, I think I have finished the decorations of this elegant corvette!

    the figurehead:

    I don't understand: Why??
  14. giampieroricci
    While waiting for inspiration, the two mascon decorations remained pending; I decided that it was time to complete them and to make the figurehead as well.

    I started square frames. These constructions take a long time, each one is different from the other, each component has a different thickness, in short, a real challenge!

    I have finished the installation of the cant frames. I hope I have interpreted well the shape of the rising wood !

    Thanks Greg! I treasure your suggestion!

    Thank you, Allan and Glenn, and for all your likes! The work seems to be going well, even for all the measurements that I look at at least three times before operating .... I have finished the arrangement of the fore cant frames. The arrangement of the fore cant frame n. 11 is very particular because it has a cast timber:

    sills: I continue with the fore cant frames: and aft cant frames:
  20. giampieroricci
    I am undecided whether to continue in this way, as David also suggests in his book, or open the gunboats after fixing all the frames. I wanted to try with the ventilation door .....
  21. giampieroricci
    excellent work!
  22. giampieroricci
    Thank you, Gary!! I placed a couple of fore cant frames:
  23. giampieroricci
    The hawse pieces: Of course, everything still needs to be roughed out. I kept myself very abundant!
  24. giampieroricci
    I was missing this splendid work !!
  25. giampieroricci

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.
