Can't wait to see her with her teeth Matt. Just be sure to hide the explosives from the Boyz lest they be tempted to run some trajectory tests, and inadvertently blow themselves up. Cheers

You're doing top-notch work on her Tom. She'll be a beauty in the end.

Cutty Sark by NenadM

Those pallets look fine Nenad. As someone who used to haul pallets of material on my truck, yours look better than most of the ones I've seen. Cheers- 4,152 replies

The port-side's looking great so far! Glad you've worked your way through the difficulties concerning the stern Mark, and can continue to move along with the rest of the planking.

I can definitely see where this method will make for a strong and true assembly during fairing and planking. Very nice.

Don't know why it should be a problem Grant. I do the same thing with my external HD that only holds a Terabyte. Just have to plug it in when I want access to it.

Cutty Sark by NenadM

Nice work Nenad! At 39 C, it's too hot to do anything except maybe raising your arm up to mouth level with a beer in it! That's even too hot for any self-respecting bear.- 4,152 replies

She looks splendid Brian. The color scheme really makes her stand out. Like the workshop too. Fairly simple in design, but very practical and organized.

That planking has a real nice, smooth roll to it now Mark! "By George, I think you've got it"! Cheers

Seems like too many inconsistencies in his book to just be a coincidence Jay. Kind of glad I haven't invested money in his book yet.

They also found stress cracks in rivets, that shouldn't have had any, in the locations they were found. Meaning they found sub-standard quality metal was used in her construction. When she hit the ice-berg, they said it didn't "tear" her open like many had thought, but rather, the scraping of it broke numerous rivets, and loosened plates enough to let massive amounts of water in. Between that and the bulkheads only stopping so much water in one compartment, and consequently, letting consecutive compartments flood beyond it, is what sank her in the end.

Might be able to help with this picture Jay. If you save it to your desktop, then zoom in, it should give you an idea where it actually is now.

I've seen those Titanic programs on the History and Nat Geo channels as well Dennis, and some of those were 2 hrs. long and got heavily into the structural design aspects and detailed info as to how she must have broken up. It's not on "On Demand" though. Tried to find them just now, and no cigar, but I'll keep looking, and let you know. Cheers

I know what programs you're talking about on H2 Dennis. Watch that channel all the time myself, and the next time they pop up again, I'll yell at 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.
