    You can nicely see the difference between waxed main deck and forecastle deck before waxing on this picture. I agree with Marslav with the colors of wood. It looks amazing!

    Hi guys, Actually no update on AVOS but I wanted to share thi video (and whole series) of the restauration of TalyHo. In this episode they are finishing planking and I love it so so much! The whole series is here. I really recommend watching it as there are many valuable "how to" explanations even for us, modellers. https://youtube.com/c/SampsonBoatCo Enjoy. PetaV

    Hi Andreas, couldn't it be that you swap sides? Right futtock on the left and left on the right? I think that could explain it? It is just idea. I'm watching your build with great interest as I'm thinking about buying one as well. Great work. PetaV

    Greetings, After a long brake the cold weather came to our area which could (I hope) give me some time for ships. There is not much missing on AVOS. rope coils on the cleats and flag. Possibly I add some small details. I have started with coils. First attempts after the brake. I guess I would need some warm up to get up to speed again.

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately RC has to wait. I have moved to larger scale finishing our new home 😱 But she is going to be decoration in the living room for sure! @PietFriet the color is matt blue from Revell (not sure about the number) spray with air gun several thin layers and clear coat water sended until all is smooth.

    MK do more sizes. I think they have 3 different mini kits in 1/72 scale.
  19. Peta_V
    I'm almost sure it is pear. MK is using pear for their finish of "High-end" kits.

    The planking looks perfect! Will follow your progress with interest

    I would love to see your build. I am actually really suprised that there aren't much more building logs of this kit. It is such a great kit for reasonable price I would say! I hope you share your progress with MSW group. If you would need any of help, I'm happy to try. @yvesvidal @Edwardkenway @JpR62 thank you guys for your kind comments, really appreciated! Also thanks for all the likes!

    All pins are now equiped with coils..... So I can move to cleats. And few overview pictures.
  23. Peta_V
    @Justin P. Yes, the line is attached to the pin with "8-style" knot (same as in reality) then cut and the eye of the coil goes over the knot. CA glue is used to simulate some weight. In 1/72 scale (which is my AVOS) everything is so tiny that it would not be podsible to do it on the same line. (I'm having problems only hang the coils on some places on fully rigged model)! Peta_V
  24. Peta_V
    Sure, no problem!
  25. Peta_V
    Here is a short guide, how I do coils. I have a jig from the scrap wood with 3 removable pins (2,3,5) and 3 securing points (1,4,6). 1. Secure the line to point 1 and make several loops around pins 2 and 3. I do 4-6 loops so the coils does not look similar. (I start with removed pin 5). Once finished with loops secure the other end to point 4. 2. Unsecure line from point 1 and pull out the very first loop through the middle of the coil. 3. Now you have to twist this to form the eye and secure it with pin 5. 4. Remove pin 2 and fully insert pin 5. Now you can adjust the coil as you want a once happy secure the end to point 6. 5. Now I secure the coil with 3 drops of CA glue. One where the eye meets coil, second ať the bottom of the coil and third to secure the loose end to the coil. Remove the coil from the jig by removing pin 5 and trim the excess thread. 6. Place the coil on the deck Perhaps someone finds it usefull. Stay healthy! Peta_V

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.
