    Hello, next update: the lower capstan. I cut a notch in to inner edge of whelps and then filed the edge to pass them to the barrel. The images show the process explanably I hope... The "metal" is black paper Regards Alex

    Hi druxey, I assume, that those technical drawings show the actual shipyard practice. Alex

    I'm sorry if this make you less happy, but the whole is more complicate, as far as I know... The garboard plank was beveled in mostly cases to match the rabbet. As clearly shown in those drawings: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/85449.html http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/80965.html http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/80745.html here the later practice: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/80704.html and here a couple of frame drawings that show tre rabbet and garboard planks: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections.html#!csearch;searchTerm=Telavera_1818;start=10

    Thank you for warm words! Greg, no, not rubbing that were a task! "making gratings, day one: rubbing making gratings, day two: still rubbing"... :D I have trimmed the bottom on the circular saw, is much faster... Alex

    Hello, the work continues with the gratings and coamings of the quarter deck, and ladder way to gun deck. In this case the gratings should look like "real" and have proper thickness and shape. Follow images show the process. First the upper edge of the block was shaped on this jig: then cuts are done on tablesaw: then strips are glued and the whole was sanded again in the jig: Coamings are build around gratings, ladder way and coaming added: All is dry fitted now.

    Hello Johann, incredible details! just amazing. Alex

    Hi Lextin, I would screw two or three 2x2 inch boards of hard wood (oak as example) to the underside of table. You can also glue them all together before them. Important: bound boards tight all together with ratchet straps before screwing. I have one very similar to yours in my basement as workbench, is very solid and stable. Alex

    Hi Lee, looks very good! It's a lovely little and fine model! According to beams: I would highly recommend to cut them instead of bending. It's not soo much more work. Otherwise this can end with bad surprises later... Now it's a state where you can avoid some problems. Alex

    Hi Juergen, very neat planking! Your Triton is coming good along! I like the color contrast between planks and frames. Very good! Alex

    Hello TBlack, nice start! looks like my Sphynx at beginning Alex

    Many thanks for compliments! Mark, not sure if I have right understand the question... The bolts on wood parts are simulated, on brass parts they work as nails and really holds things... Alex

    Hello and thanks marsalv for warm words! not much to show, only a little update: have worked on chain pump handles, so there the result. The images show main steps from alignment to installing. The axle is from 1mm brass rod, the crank handles from 0,8mm rod, all soldered together. Alex

    Hi Mark, I know what you mean, it looks really odd and unusual. But doing this to show two ways of planking the wale, is probably an idea, if also a little odd Alex
  20. Alex M
    That is a very fine drawings, Mark! A warm welcome and have fun :D :D the buts of two plank rows of main wale aft of main mast - shift the lower one further aft... Alex

    Hi Greg and thanks! Alex

    Hi Chuck, excellent planking job! Very clear and smooth! Christian, I'm not Chuck, sorry, but if you look at the image with red painted counter in Chuck's previous post, you will notice a small step between them and tuck. The tuck will be planked later, and all will follow the plan. Very smart solution, Chuck! Alex

    Thanx John and druxey! Yes, I did make my own Alex

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.
