    I started work on small boats: I try to copy unworthily masterful job of Johann "archjofo" who made masterpieces for his Creole:

    I fixed the decoration in place. Now I just try to polish it a bit 'and pass a coat of clear varnish

    gouges I use are self-built using old screwdrivers and cutting pieces .... Your work of sculpture is truly exceptional, believe me!

    The wax is applied on the outside of the lantern, warming it slightly to be modeled. Then I mixed the two components of the resin and I filled the lantern. The resin takes about 12 hours to dry. When the resin is hardened, it is easy to remove the wax with a bit 'of hot water

    Thank you very much to all!! The stern light is ready:

    in the meantime I have tried with some decoration of the stern

    for the lantern glazing I thought of a transparent resin that use rail modellers to reproduce the water: I prepared the lantern covering it with wax, to allow casting of two-component resin
  22. giampieroricci
    Some small step forward; there is nothing yet fixed, everything is provisional: I would try to do the glazing, but I do not know if I can!

    I removed the counter-shaped timber with a small tip mill, patiently!

    I remade the central part of the light, with a different technique. I didn't like the previous light. I made a wooden counter-form on which to secure the uprights of the light of two brass supports; I also used a thinner wire, 0.8 mm for the uprights and by 0.4 for the spreaders:

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.
