    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

    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:

    I used this soldering past with a torch welder!

    some progress. This work is really difficult. Especially I can not get the little crosses at the bottom of the third lap; I don't like how it is coming. I'm afraid that I have to look for alternative roads ......

    Continue I realized that I have mounted the hat of the light on the contrary, but fortunately it's only temporary, to make pictures....

    Then I did the shape of the lamp body on which shape the profiles

    These days I am trying to build a sternlight. I began by its cover I first made of wood, in order to understand the forms, and then I tried to make brass.

    Great job!!! Pure art!! Could you show a little more detail the implementation of the ruling wheel?
  18. giampieroricci

  19. 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.
