You learn something new every day. I never realized there was this 'slack' in the antennae. Looks great (as everything you show us does) Jan

Why don’t we see people runing around on the deck. Oh wait, its 1:700 plastic. Looks lery much like the real thing, but those little people can’t move. This is so convincing! Jan

Forgot Password
amateur replied to Alvb's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
Why this aggressive reaction? James offered a solution as soon as you described the problem. You ignored his solution, and the help offered. That’s not polite behaviour…. From own experience: the forgot-password-funcyion does work. The only time it did not for me was when I changed email without changing it in my profile… Jan -
This is pure paint wizardry. Nobody will believe that this started out as a rough lifeless plastic blimp covered in red primer. Al that masking was worth the effort! Jan

Sanding it again helped to give the surface less of a 'plastic' look. Just to get the scale right: what is the lenght of this blimp? Is it around 10 inch, or even smaller? Jan

We have a non-ship subgroup. It is small, but perhaps theycan give you a ‘place to be’ for aircraft-builders. @realworkingsailor Andy, do you have a suggestion? Jan

kit review SMS Sleipner by Hamburger Modellbaubogen Verlag
amateur replied to ccoyle's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
At https://www.die-kartonmodellbauer.de/forum/index.php?thread/14732-sms-sleipner-t97/ spotted the first log. the turtleback is a tricky part indeed. Jan -
I read in a German formum that the site-owner has died last summer. His family has shut down the business and the website that was connected to it. Jan

Quite a lot of fiddly bits coming together. I have a question on your ‘build sequence’: in most kits the deck is glued to the hull before the remaining stuff is put on. Getting it on before is helpfull in case hull or deck (or both) are warped, and a lot of rubber bands are needed to close the gaps. Hooe your deck fits without brute force….. Jan

Lockheed-Aeritalia F-104S by Danstream - Hasegawa - 1:48
amateur replied to Danstream's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
This is the scheme I remember most Although having seen this plane many times, I actually never noticed how small those wings are (my eyes probably a bit detracted by the large wingtip fueltanks) The model is coming together nicely. Jan -
In vase you want something different: kolderstok is about to launch a cross section of a Dutch Pinas. I have seen the prototype (in real life, not just a pic), and it’s really nice one. https://kolderstok.com/blogs/nieuws Perhaps @*Hans* can tell us when it will be released Jan

Please do. We will be kind (btw we always are kind). And welcome to the community of MSW! You will draw some more attention to your log (and therefore get more helpfull feedback) when you put a post in the ‘new member section’ of the forum. Jan

In addition to what Wefalck writes:in VN de Veldes time, the sprit was set in a sling at the foot of the mast, the sling itself was attached to the top op the mast: no need to lift the (very heavy) sprit ot of its sling: gravity helped the foot go up as the tackle on the lower end was loosened. It was not unusual to have this sling made from forged iron shackles. The lenght of the sprit varies greatly between periods, regions, shiptype, and preference of the ship-owner. I have read somewhere that the high-peaked spritsails were thought to have an advantage at certain wind-conditions. there are various books around showing these arrangements. But: far too heavy and complex for a small vessel. Jan

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.
