    I think here is fine. Many people will have seen it here and can continue following.

    No, nothing has changed. It's as it's shown. I removed some char from top of parts, so things will look different.

    Grecial sure has nice lines!

    No, we have nothing that can do that, or access via third-party plugins. Browsers are generally equipped to export as either a web page or PDF, and also to print whole pages you are on. It make take time over a large build log, but there's nothing we can do about that. We keep several backups of MSW at all times, and backups are made 4 times per week, into several different locations. If you feel you need to back up your build log, for whatever reason, you'll have to do this manually.

    I think the point of this is that Chris has made it abundantly clear many times what his plans are with regard to his larger naval vessels (period etc), and that countless requests for ironclads and yachts, as well as the multitude of typically unknown vessels, simply won't fly. Discussion should revolve around announcements/releases etc. On this note, Chris has asked me to lock this topic so he can start a fresh one. This one is currently 78 pages!

    The forum software won't cater to that, but it's easy enough through your browser. Ok, I'm using Safari on Mac here, but this should be available on most, if not all browsers. Just export each page as a PDF and save to your computer.

    It's defo there. Try on an updated browser. Works for me on Chroma, Safari and Firefox.

    I would paint the swastika first, using masks, then add the hardware over it and paint. BUT, Amati have supplied the kit with the last known iteration before it was sunk. At that time it had no swastikas. They were painted over.

    It's great to see you back! You were one of the very first members of MSW 1.0!!

    ***Please note*** Any further posts regarding chain pumps will be deleted from hereon in. It's superfluous to the discussion and serves only to derail what I'm trying to achieve here. I've even received PMs demanding to know why I removed member's posts after me needing to cull my topic (for the third time!). It must stop. Now.

    This is a beading tool. Used by jewellers for making indent patterns etc.
  13. James H
    You're welcome. We did used to have one a while ago but the software was never updated to fit the core forum software version we were running, and it simply stopped working, so we removed it.

    I must admit that the thought of running a rivet tool, freehand over the hull, would fill me with dread. If I opt to rivet the hull, I think I'll do one plate at a time with a beading tool. I'm quite used to that method for adding rivet lines to large 1:32 airframes.
  15. James H
    Ok, I have added a tool which will take you straight back to the top of the page which will help if you had to scroll a long way. When you start to roll down a page, you will now see a black 'Up Arrow' in the bottom right of the screen. Press that and you'll be taken to the top again.

    It certainly works faster and is more forgiving. If I get a plate slightly wrong, I can just reposition it or throw it away and add a new one. No more CA gel, but you also don't get the nail marks (if you wanted them). These can be added with a rivet tool from VM or a beading tool.
  17. James H
    The ink brush pen is a nice idea!
  18. James H
    Hey ho! You'll have to forgive me for not wanting to spend my hols tinkering with stuff in tech here

    The original Indy clearly shows the chain pumps fitted, but the drawings made for the razed iteration shows that other changes were made too...one of them being the chain pump omission. The guys doing these plans surely knew what they were doing, and adding the smaller pumps would've been a very unusual move and not one that would've been done without them being specifically requested. That's what the drawings show, ergo, that's how the deck is fitted out.

    What a great start you made here on MSW. Off to BanLand you go.
  21. James H
    I've coppered the first side and will do an update once I've coppered the opposite side and trimmed it down to waterline level. Here she is so far.
  22. James H
    I'll do a proper update in a few days, showing coppering, but until then, here's a photo showing the work so far. Coppering is a fairly quick process, thankfully, and fairly therapeutic.
  23. James H
    Can I point you to the post I made earlier today about not turning this into a Wishlist? The problem is that a topic about new releases and products is becoming swamped with members asking for their own wishes. Cheers.
  24. James H
    Ok, I have a reworked figurehead to reflect the bronze/gold armour, instead of the silver steel from the previous incarnation.

    Furniture is standard. Use it, or not!

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.
