    flame only works with epoxy resin....not polyester 😀...swoosh!.....i usually use an hand butane torch at low setting, and give it a quick swipe...doesn't take much...never tried a shaver though...just a thought.....good luck....
  4. yancovitch
    sure you already know that a flame will remove bubbles from epoxy resin, and regarding mold material...what about vibration....maybe even an electric shaver or whatever....not sure if any of this applies to your situation, but thought i'd mention....cheers......

  8. yancovitch
    you seem to be able to capture a fluidity in your sculptures, a feeling of movement, which is nice....

    thanks hubac-calhoun.....my R/C build, along with other's is on this forum.....https://www.rcgroups.com/scale-sailboats-653/? under coronne II.. hope i was allowed to post that link......the rudder, the yards are radio controlled...that's it....some fellas actually attach a submersible motor and prop to the rudder or drop keel to help get them out of trouble....me...i have to be on the water in a boat, as this old style of ship ends up drifting downwind and i have to tow it back.....a trades wind sailor, opposed to the more modern designs which can go up wind to varying degrees.....all the windows and lanterns have led's....cheers....

    great...and the excitement builds!!!
  11. yancovitch
    thanks, even get smoke rings sometimes
  12. yancovitch
    just a simple record that she sails, and the cannons work.... will try for better at a later time.......
  13. yancovitch
    are you sure???...are you really really sure??? ............nice to have company.....
  14. yancovitch
    forgot to look at the drawing...haha....have to add more lead.....should be a little below the lower wale.....
  15. yancovitch
    ok...good shew...
  16. yancovitch
    thanks ej............video was pretty shaky, being on a boat, so we'll have to patch together some of the better shots....we'll see....
  17. yancovitch
    am quite relieved, thanks...........do you think she should sit a bit lower in the water?....
  18. yancovitch
    ok..............got her in the water with the help of a friend......first effort was a struggle finding the technique, but we'll have to do it again, and it will be a lot easier, plus we'll take better shots....videos were too shaky, as we were on a boat....now i know how much ballast and how and where to launch.......will make another effort at the proper time........
  19. yancovitch
    interesting......never thought of this before, but i think your scratch carvings actually have a more dynamic emotional appeal, than factory ones.....ship has more of a life force which effects those who see it..............
  20. yancovitch
    haha.....was referring to the ring on your finger rather than the wreath
  21. yancovitch
    haha...what else could it be
  22. yancovitch
    looks shookum hubac........... one has to give credit to the artists who make some of these kits....
  23. yancovitch
    horses are great, and the fellow.........well he's just an old greek man, and you done very well replicating an old man :)...to me it adds a lot of character......i have a problem with people, maybe cause we're so complicated compared to animals..........and that ring looks very mysterious.....like it contains secret electronic devices......
  24. yancovitch
    looks very nice ej...........
  25. yancovitch
    ha....yes using the original gorilla glue really got me upset.....had to redo a lot of work...didn't know whether to laugh scream curse or cry...though it must have some special purpose i don't even want to know about :).....but gorilla ca is great...use it all the time....but mainly on wood ............but i think the ordorless ca's work well too...... your depth of analysis never ceases to amaze me.....haha...i feel more like a neanderthal compared to you.....

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.
