    How the bloody &*%^ did that happen? Guess this won't be a bluenose after all.
  2. Don Quixote
    Oxyclean will get that blood out

    Fake stantions in place. I lost a few that needed to be replaced when sanding, but no real problems. Getting ready to sand and prime. Screwed up that, see what I can come up with at the stern.

    Looks pretty good to me, mate! When the time comes, I have a wife that I spent over a grand on a sewing machine that known how to use every function. Had to take classes. Look at all those typo's! This texting while driving is not easy.

    I like your answer. You do have to look for the hitch in the line though. Had I not been looking for it I'd have missed it.
  6. Don Quixote
    Maybe I wouldn't hid the rigging:) I admire your tenacity to go into so much detail.

    I'm betting I can paint mine by hand. No taping off. As for the repetitive, I always try to make a jig, or fine some way to mass produce. I think that's what gets me in trouble.

    For the stability of the yard, could you cut the joint at an angle to give more surface area for the glue? Then wrap the joint in some brass. I got strips, like 3/32x1/64x18" for next to nothing on amazon. Sails, could you die them after gluing?

    Once you've eliminated all the wrong ways, the right way is all that's left.

    I see no bleed through. I can't believe you have the patients to tape all that off.
  11. Don Quixote
    I like the last one best.
  12. Don Quixote
    I'll try satin first.

    I like green and yellow myself. Approaching painting myself. Wouldn't it be okay to use a semi-gloss, or was that not an option back then?
  14. Don Quixote
    To hard to judge withe the color washed out. It's that old pre-2018 technology.
  15. Don Quixote
    Using the process described, I think it's working well. 2.jfif

    Try this: use the symbol @MarisStella.hr Don will be notified that's he's been mentioned in a post. .

    @texxn5, I'll pm you. That's not the first time I've heard of that model. I have your table saw as well, the one that the saw tilts and all that.
  18. Don Quixote
    @vaddoc Tell me a lot more about the bearing you mention. Oh, that's right, Ma. And thanks. Freaking nag.

    Those Palm planes look a little cheaper than the lathe.
  20. Don Quixote
    Is there a lathe that can handle the small diameter, but long length of a mast?
  21. Don Quixote
    That's so beautiful I'd like to see is on the main floor of my house!
  22. Don Quixote
    Welcome. I've been at it for 5 years now and I'm still new.
  23. Don Quixote
    Side stepped that one.

    Mike, Getting back to twisting planks. When I twisted that boxwood, I put it between helping hands of 2 units so I had some distance. I then used my steamer until the wood was soaked. I then immediately gave it a slight twist, let it dry, soaked, twisted. Probably took me 6 hours to do that.
  25. Don Quixote
    I'm thinking the masts should be no problem.

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.
