Now the manufacture and installation of chain wales, channels the masts. We begin by making the tables, which are composed of several boards. Construction of reinforcement curves In the previous photo you can see the profile that the table has to have, which is flat at the water line and with a slight slope towards the outside on the upper side, so that the rainwater comes out. Next, manufacture of the dead eye: Manufacture of bindings: The technique is to use a printing with printer toner and transferring the drawing to the brass tape, with wetting the back of the paper with some solvent liquid. thank you

This post, deals with the realization and installation of artillery bolts in gun ports battery Due to the complexity in the realization of the bolts, given the differences in thickness of the ship side, although the hole is through from outside to inside, I relined the bolts in two pieces.

Hello I want to update the work done these last months on the frigate La Mahonesa, First the realization and installation of the rudder In the previous photo I want to emphasize the separation between the "rudder" and the "post" that must be minimal or rather null, to avoid that it can be placed any foreign element. thank you

Hi, Klarsen I am glad that you have decided for this project, the Mahonese is a beautiful frigate, I am sure that you will perform this work perfectly and you will be satisfied with the result, I will be happy to follow your progress. The length of the keel is 35cm at scale 1:1, which at 1/48 is 7.3mm, in all length, the half-timbers from 64 to 70 and from number 7 to number 1 are installed on a central wooden block, I have checked the measurement of the keel drawn in the different planes and in all measures 7.3mm, in their measurements there may be some error due to the dilation or contraction of the drawing in the printer, there is on page 130 of the book a breakdown of all the measures of the important parts. The best thing would be to take the measures of the axial structure of plane 3 that is dedicated to the structure. The drawing of the timbers of the plane nº8, should only be used to develop the scroll of the timbers. Adrián Sorolla

Hello The name of this frigate was " Santa Monica" alias "La Mahonesa" because it was built in the port of "Mahon" on the island of Manorca in the Baleares Islands in Spain Though not far from the denomiation of "Mayonnaise", which is the deformation of the name of a salsa called "mahonesa", which was made on the same island of menorca, during the time that this belonged to England and is known internationally.

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.
