Before continuing the work inside, I decided to finish the topsides on the outside because I want to remove all the bolts that cause me many problems and hassles by cutting the excess coast and finishing on the gunwale. I then prepared the tool, converted from an old saw blade and molded with a small disk, for the course that I started to fix
-
I finished the gunboats also from the inside I also fixed the sleepers of the castle I also started to prepare the battens of flowers: job rather difficult to prepare, especially because you do not have much space to be able to score perfectly all measures
-
Today I finished working on the gunner. I have completed the thresholds and lintels. This is the window of the cabin of the Captain
-
I finished opening the gunboats and I started to prepare the thresholds, which have a particular concavity, to which I have built a custom "tool" this is the tool:

Thank you!!! I finally fixed the last beam formwork, which fits into the oarlocks of the transom: Meanwhile, I continued working on the opening of the gunboats of the bridge and the openings for the scuttles of the oars; for them I made a template sheet to try to make them all equal
-
I also fixed the sleepers of the formwork, but first I had to make the last beam, with a particular shape as it follows the curve of the transom and gets stuck there. I also started to open a gunboat

I finally finished the job of balancing the interior of the coasts: a big job! I then set the keelson:

thank you friends! I managed to bend the ebony with the flame of a candle, and then I put in a suitable form. however, they are strips of 2mm that I bent just enough to paste them on the model. The curvature of this model is not excessive. My ship is about a meter long......

I finished the work on the belts, I started the long process of equalization of the interior of the coasts, and if it was tough on the outside, inside it is even more!
-
I thought maybe it would be appropriate to bolt the course of filling at least now that there is still no upper boundary for more space and avoid any awkward shot could damage the belts themselves. This is the job I started. I used the brass tacks of a diameter of 0.7 mm which I cut his head off and filed flush with the stem of the course.
-
Thank you, friends! the belts are made of ebony, a wood so hard, so delicate and so mangy to work but so beautiful to see!
-
Thank you!!!....... In order to block the stern oar in a more stable manner, on the excesses of the oarlocks I have tentatively set a provisional "crowning glory" that I will take away when I have completed the transom
-
Thank you, friends! Slowly the work going on, I started the construction of the transom: of course is yet to block and finish, especially the two stern oar that for security (or insecurity) I made them abundant

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.
